Guide #76175

Hi, I'm Eiji. Welcome to Kagoshima!! Born in Tokyo, I left the bustling capital at the age of 23 with just a small backpack. After spending my youth traveling and experiencing the world—visiting more than 25 countries in total—I returned to Japan and lived in several regions, including Yakushima, Izu, Kochi, and the southern subtropical island of Amami Oshima. Now, I live in southern Kyushu as the father of a 7-year-old boy, still carrying a deep sense of wanderlust. Since 2010, I have worked as an English-speaking tour guide in Japan: for three years with a local tour operator, five years as a sea kayak guide in Izu, and nine years as a self-employed guide in Amami. I love sharing time with guests from all over the world. I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking, and surfing, and I always love engaging with nature wherever I go while learning the history of each place. I look forward to showing you my favorite spots in Kagoshima and sharing our time together!

    We had a great day with Eiji exploring Kagoshima and Sakurajima. Our day was very relaxing, yet jam packed. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the area and everything went smoothly. We really enjoyed our time with Eiji. Thank you! Rick and Andrea

    We had a great tour of Kagoshima with Eiji! He was great at communicating before the tour to arrange pick-up and details and accommodated our time constraints. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us at the airport after the tour. Kagoshima is such a beautiful area, and Eiji showed us some of the highlights like the Sengan-en garden and home and Sakurajima. He was...
