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.

In this tour, you can enjoy both old and new aspects of culture in Kagoshima. First you go to pottery of very traditional ware "Satsuma Pottery". You can enjoy viewing a climbing kiln, workman spirits and beautiful works in a tranquil atmosphere of Japanese garden. After enjoying beauty of art crafts, you have lunch of local produce at a restaurant in the pottery village. Then you go to a whiskey distillery. At a factory, you can observe how the genuine Japan whisky is produced there and have a chance to taste it!
If you want a change of pace from shrines and temples, this tour is for you. Mikiko was a fun guide as we explored pottery and whiskey. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of information about the area as we drove to the activities. Lunch at a local Japanese restaurant was an added bonus to this wonderful day.
We had the most wonderful day touring with Mikiko! She is so warm, friendly and knowledgeable. A real pleasure to spend a day with! Highly recommended!
There are not enough words to express how amazing this day was! First of all, Miki is an amazing tour guide. She is knowledgeable, incredibly flexible, funny, kind, and organized! The visit to the Satsuma pottery was inspiring, the lunch was delicious, and the visit to the distillery was a delight to all the senses! Miki really knows how to make a day outing feel completely relaxed and informative.
