Hello! My name is Kuni. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter as well as a Kagoshima Prefectural World Cultural Heritage Licensed Guide Interpreter. I was born and raised in Kagoshima, located in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan. Surrounded by rich nature, active volcanoes, beautiful ocean views, and warm-hearted people, Kagoshima is a place full of stories and traditions that I am proud to share with visitors from all over the world. I decided to become a guide because I truly enjoy meeting people and helping them experience the beauty, culture, and history of my hometown. What makes me happiest is seeing my guests smile and hearing them say that they have discovered something new and memorable during our tour. I believe that guiding is not only about explaining facts or history but also about creating meaningful connections between people and places. During my tours, I always try to make the experience both fun and informative. Whether we are exploring the impressive scenery of Sakurajima, walking through historical sites related to Japan’s modernization, or tasting local specialties such as Kurobuta pork or shochu, I will do my best to make sure you enjoy every moment. I’m also happy to adjust the tour pace and content according to your interests, so please feel free to let me know what you’d like to see or learn about. I’m looking forward to meeting you in Kagoshima and sharing its stories, flavors, and warm hospitality with you. Let’s enjoy a wonderful time together and make great memories!

Overview of your Kagoshima tour

Chiran, located in southern Kyushu, is a historic town where samurai heritage, local culture, and traditional cuisine come together. This private car tour offers a well-balanced introduction to Chiran’s history and everyday life. Visit the Chiran Peace Museum, where letters and personal belongings of young kamikaze pilots provide insight into an important chapter of World War II. You will also stroll through the preserved Chiran Samurai Residence District, which reflects life during Japan’s feudal era. One highlight of the tour is a soba noodle making experience, where you can learn the basics of traditional Japanese buckwheat noodles and enjoy what you make. Along the way, you’ll also discover local flavors such as Chiran chicken and regional tea culture. I will personally guide you throughout the tour, sharing local stories and insights. This tour is customizable upon request, allowing adjustments to the itinerary or the addition of nearby attractions to suit your interests and pace.
