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.

Remarkable experience in Natural Sand Steam Bath and tasty local Ramen
Overview of your Kagoshima tour
First, we take a JR(Japan Raiway) scenic train "IBUSUKI NO TAMATEBAKO*" at Kagoshima Chuo Station to go to Ibusuki city, southern part of Kagoshima prefecture. The train is well known as a scenic train featuring a Japanese folk story. First destination is a facility of Natural Sand Steam Bath. You are literally buried in a warm sand! It must be comfortable and I'm sure it could become an unforgettable experience for you. Then go to a local Ramen shop. You can enjoy a special local ramen with dried bonito which is rich in Umami taste! There are some famous local Ramen shops there including the champion in a Kagoshima Ramen competition in few years ago. Then go back to Kagoshima city by a train. *If you are going to join this tour as a cruise excursion, the train you are taking is a local train instead of IBUSUKI NO TAMATEBAKO. And also tour starting time varies according to the arrival time of your cruise ship.
