Cozy San was a wonderful guide! She’s very knowledgeable about Sakurajima, Kagoshima and Japan as a whole. We learned a lot about Sakurajima, the history and the present. My son, Michael and I are very grateful to her for a wonderful experience. She made our trip a memorable one and we appreciate all the pictures she took of us. Cozy San domo arigatu gozaimas te! You were an amazing guide !!!

This time, I brought my entire family of six to participate in the tour. We departed from the hotel early in the morning to meet our guide, Ms. Cozy, at the meeting point. We were delighted that Ms. Cozy was leading our tour of Sakurajima Volcano and various sights in Kagoshima City. We communicated almost entirely in English throughout the tour, as I only know simple Japanese sentences and words.

We were very satisfied with this private car charter. The driver was very professional and the arrangements were excellent. We visited all the planned spots and even had some pleasant surprises, fully experiencing the beauty of Yakushima. The recommended lunch was delicious, and the driver also helped us make dinner reservations.

This trip coincided with the rainy season, which was perfect because rainy days are my absolute favorite! Mr. Cameron was an excellent guide, leading us through both mountain hikes and seaside excursions. My memories of this Yakushima trip are truly wonderful!

A hidden culinary gem in Kagoshima's Tenmonkan district! We ordered Set A, which included sukiyaki and steak. The meat was incredibly fresh and tender! The roasted apple dessert was quite unique. Both the server and the chef were very friendly. We highly recommend this to anyone visiting Kagoshima!

The layout is great, and Sengan-en itself is wonderful. I spent a fulfilling five hours relaxing and gazing at Sakurajima after touring the gardens! I thought the Green Ticket included mochi and imo-shochu, but it only covered admission, two experiences, a meal, and a Shirokuma dessert.

this was a truly amazing experience. highly recommend. don’t worry about asking at the front desk about where to go - just follow the instructions on your voucher and state your name at the front desk of the restaurant and hot spring. the staff are super helpful.

Klook offers the best prices. If you want to experience the charm of the Northern Kyushu region, I recommend taking the JR. I bought a three-day JR pass and visited Kokura, Mojiko, and Kumamoto. I highly recommend Kokura Castle; although it's a reconstructed castle, it offers many interactive activities for visitors. You can also try on kimonos for free and take photos, or experience horseback archery—it's definitely worth a visit. If you get off at Kokura, you must try the chicken udon noodles at the standing noodle shop on the Kitakyushu Station platform, which has a long history; it's very affordable and delicious! Mojiko is a beautiful harbor with a European flair, perfect for exploring various historic buildings and taking photos. Curry is a famous local dish there. Kumamoto Castle, one of Japan's three great castles, has several centuries of history and is a reconstructed castle with significant historical value. The castle's main color is black, and its appearance resembles a samurai, giving it a majestic presence. I suggest taking the tram to Kumamoto Castle to experience the local culture and daily life.
