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!

Eiji was the perfect guide both for information about Kagoshima but also his kind, thoughtful approach to the tour process. I would recommend Eiji highly.
