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!

This private tour from Kagoshima Port takes you into the scenic highlands of Kirishima, a region of myths, mountains, and volcanic landscapes. Known as the land where Japanese gods descended from heaven, Kirishima remains one of Japan’s most spiritual areas. Visit Kirishima Shrine, a sacred complex surrounded by ancient cedar trees, and hear stories of Japanese mythology. Then, admire Maruo Falls, where hot spring water plunges into a deep gorge—a striking symbol of the region’s volcanic power. Explore Kirishima Onsen town, a charming hot spring village where you can enjoy local shops or a quick footbath—no bathing required. If time and weather permit, visit Ebino Plateau for breathtaking views of the Kirishima mountains. Traveling by private car with a National Licensed English-speaking guide, you’ll discover the nature, legends, and warm hospitality of southern Kyushu.
