Sini T.

Hi, I am Sini, a Kyushu Regional-licensed guide in Mandarin, Cantonese and English. Grew up in Macau and settled in Kagoshima from 1999. Totally have lived in Japan for more than 27 years. Native Cantonese speaker, speak Mandarin, English and Japanese. Worked for Kagoshima Tourism Association, Kagoshima International Exchange Association and local TV program on tourism and food. Have more than 10 years of working experience as a part-time tour guide. Enjoy traveling around Kyushu, such as Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Miyazaki with my guests, exploring the beautiful scenery and cuisine. In Kagoshima, we have Japan's most active volcano (Sakurajima island) and Japan's romantic city to starry sky (Tanegashima), and so on...please come and experience with me in here! Updated Jan 2026 Hello, 我是Sini。來日本讀書到結婚工作20多年的澳門人。現在是日本九州的導游。除了日語和廣東話之外,國語（普通話）流利,以及日常英文溝通都沒問題,所以我的客人大多來自香港,澳門,台灣,國內,還有馬來西亞,新加坡,還有美加等國籍非常多元化。由於我在日本的大學讀完研究生以後工作了差不多十年中，曾經從事過鹿兒島國際交流協會，鹿兒島觀光連盟（相當於官方旅游局）和主持過本地電視台（KYT）介紹旅游和美食的節目。所以對於九州，特別是鹿兒島這個地方的風土人情，美食特色的實務和相關專業知識,可能比日本人一點都不遜色呢（笑！）無論您是幾個小時或者一天的短途旅遊, 或是連續幾天的深度旅遊,我相信可以為您的旅途錦上添花。我們可以選擇去鹿兒島經典名勝的櫻島火山、仙巌園，指宿泡沙蒸溫泉，霧島的高千穗牧場親親大自然；也可以去體會潛力新景點：去看茶田，試穿和服；看千隻仙鶴在日出日落中飛舞；去霧島泡泥漿溫泉；去離島的火箭基地看火箭發射，衝浪或劃橡皮艇,甚至單車游、自駕游,甚至一起定制路線的自由行等，相信我都能滿足您的願望！數小時、半天、一天，或者跨境的多天游，都可以事前通過溝通爲您私人訂製,保證貼心安排。。。除了鹿兒島,宮崎,熊本,大分,長崎,福岡等九州各地,我都可以與您同行,讓您暢通無阻! 不要猶豫了，快來日本跟我一起領略這個九州淳樸的南方城市的美麗風情吧！ 2026・01 更新

Moriaki A.

Hello, I am a retired captain of a commuter airline, with over 40 years of experience and over 22,400 flight hours focused on providing safe and comfortable travel. I have had the opportunity to visit various countries, including Japan, the United States, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines. After retiring, I worked as a volunteer guide for city walks in Kagoshima for eight years and obtained my certification as a certified guide for the World Heritage Sites in Kagoshima Prefecture. The joy of traveling overseas is getting to know different cultures, languages, and the unique lifestyles and food cultures of the people. However, what is most valuable to me are the memories made meeting people during travels. During my career, I focused on safely and comfortably transporting passengers. Today, I aim to continue a job that brings travelers fun and memorable experiences. I am committed to being a reliable guide for everyone and providing memorable trips.
