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.

First, we go to Senganen Japanese garden. There are a museum, a residence of local leaders built in the 19th century and its garden created in the 17th century. We can enjoy the view of the garden and history of Kagoshima there. At a restaurant in the garden, we can enjoy local cuisine for lunch. Most of its ingredients are locally produced. After visiting Senganen, we go to Mt. Sakurajima, an active volcano. We can feel the massive energy of the earth and observe how the local people live with the volcano.
We had the best day with Miki in Kagoshima! She knows the area very well as a long time local and was able to plan the perfect day for our family (which includes two young boys). Due to the heat, she was able to rent a vehicle to get us around more comfortably and planned lots of special moments for our family to experience Kagoshima. We loved Miki and would highly recommend her as a guide!
We loved our tour with Mikiko. She took us to the highlights of Kagoshima and provided us with her wealth of knowledge. Mikiko is so personable and friendly. She was also very flexible in adjusting the schedule to best meet our needs. I would not hesitate to your with Mikiko again and highly recommend her!!
Mikiko, Our tour guide in Kagoshima waited for us as our ship arrived into the port. We had communicated prior to our trip as what we would like to visit in Kagoshima. She guided us through and made arrangement for our transportation. Our time spent together was seamless and smooth and enjoyable. She is thoughtful and patient with our questions. We are delighted to have her as our guide.
Our time with the Mikiko San exceeded every expectation. From the very first inquiry, she was attentive, detailed, and genuinely interested in understanding what we hoped to experience. It was clear that the she truly cares about creating memorable experiences for her guests. We are grateful for the lovely moments and unforgettable memories we created together. These are experiences we will cherish for a long time.
Awesome day. Do Not pass up an opportunity to spend a day with Miki.
We very much enjoyed our tour in Kagoshima! The Senganen Garden was such a delight, and the Ikeda Lake was calm and beautiful! We also visited a local Green Tea Farm, which was very fun and educational, not to mention the wonderful lunch we had at a local restaurant! Our guide Mikiko was friendly, kind, accommodating, and a wealth of knowledge! We do highly recommend this tour.
