Hello! I'm Mikiko! You can call me Miki! I was born and bred in Kagoshima. Now l'm living with my husband, two sons, and one dog. I have worked as an interpreter and a port agent for cruise ships for about 7 years. Fortunately I had opportunities to work in from very formal international conferences to music and sports events as an interpreter. As a port agent, I often take crew members and passengers to hospitals for medical emergency, so I've learned basic medical English and got a certificate. Still I'm learning such terms for the next level. For local companies, I join business meetings as an interpreter and translate documents for them. In addition, I have worked as a lecturer at an English academy for about five years. As a licensed international guide, I've guided FIT and big group for tours about 8 years now. I took them various sightseeing spots in Kagoshima. Sometimes for people who want to experience something very local or Japan, I offered such opportunities using various channels I have. Licensed guide (national qualification) Certified medical translator Training for tour conductors I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Using local bus, you go to Chira town. That is about one hour drive to south from Kagoshima city. The first destination is Chiran Samurai Residences and gardens. Those gardens are nearly 270 years old and open to public now. You can imagine how then samurais lived there. Before going to the next destination, you have lunch at a local restaurant there. Then you go to Chiran Peace Museum featuring young pilots of Kamikaze Operation in WWⅡ. The museum brings a message that how awful war is and how important the world Peace is. The last place to visit is a local green tea producer. Let's make your own green tea! We are coming back to Kagoshima city using a local bus again.
