Hello! Thank you for visiting my page. I’m Kana, a government-licensed guide interpreter based in Kagoshima, Kyushu. Although Kagoshima is a little off the main tourist routes, it’s a truly special region blessed with spectacular scenery, fascinating history, active volcanoes, relaxing hot springs, and the warm hospitality of its people. As a lifelong Kagoshiman, I’d love to share not only famous sights but also hidden local spots where you can experience the authentic rhythm of everyday life in Japan. With a background in teaching and a passion for nature, food, and travel, I enjoy helping guests connect deeply with the local culture and creating experiences that stay in their hearts long after the journey ends. I look forward to welcoming you to Kagoshima! Let’s explore together and make wonderful memories in this beautiful corner of Japan.

Overview of your Kagoshima tour
This private tour from Kagoshima Port takes you into the beautiful highlands of Kirishima, a region famous for its myths, mountains, and volcanic landscapes. Known as the land where Japanese gods descended from heaven, Kirishima remains one of Japan’s most spiritually rich areas. Visit Kirishima Shrine, a sacred complex surrounded by centuries-old cedar trees, and learn about ancient legends. Then, enjoy the natural beauty of Maruo Falls, where hot spring water cascades into a deep gorge—a vivid reminder of the region’s volcanic energy. Stroll through Kirishima Onsen town, a charming hot spring village where you can browse local shops or enjoy a relaxing footbath. There is no need to enter a bath unless you wish to. If time and weather allow, your guide may take you to Ebino Plateau for breathtaking mountain views. Traveling by private car with a National Licensed English-speaking guide, you’ll experience the beauty and warmth of southern Kyushu.
