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!

Kagoshima private tour for its unique history and nature
Overview of your Kagoshima tour
Kagoshima, the southernmost prefecture of the mainland in Japan, has been open toward foreign countries for hundreds of years and developed its own unique culture and tradition with its plenty of nature. Kagoshima Highlights includes 2 must-go destinations of the area, Sakurajima and Sengan-en Garden. Sakurajima is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan. Nice to hike on Nagisa Lava Trail (approx. 3 km) surrounded by the lava rocks and take the foot bath for refreshing afterwards… Sengan-en is one of the finest examples of a feudal lord’s garden from 1600s. You can enjoy the fascinating mix of Japanese, Chinese and Western influences throughout the garden and the breathtaking view of Sakurajima as well.
