Beautiful morning in Kagoshima

5.00We had a truly wonderful experience on this tour with Hitomi! She was so knowledgeable and thoughtful. She taught us how to properly pass through the torii gate and how to pray at the shrine. Being in the beautiful garden was wonderful and she performed a singing bowl meditation for us, which was very relaxing. We finished with a coffee shop visit that was excellent. The whole day was relaxing and so pleasant. We loved it. We would book a tour with Hitomi again anytime we are in Kagoshima.
Excellent tour

5.00It was an absolutely lovely tour around Kagoshima. Hitomi was a wonderful guide and explained the history and traditions behind each location we went to. We also had a meditation session in the garden which was so peaceful with the sounds of nature and water running in the background. We also stopped by two shrines where Hitomi explained the customs there and how to pray. Overall this was great experience where i got to learn a lot about Kagoshima!

5.00The hidden gems tour was truly the highlight of my trip to Kagoshima! The Japanese gardens and temples were breathtakingly beautiful. The tour guide, Hitomi is personable and a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of the area. She is a wonderful guide and expert level English speaker. I feel like I got to experience a part of Kagoshima only known to the locals. The visit to the Japanese gardens and temples left me in a meditative state of mind. Book this tour IMMEDIATELY if you have the chance.
Hidden gems in Kagoshima

5.00The tour with Hitomi to the garden and temples was one of the highlights of my month long Japan Trip. The meditation with sound crystals and hearing the water flowing in the garden was serene and peaceful. The garden was beautiful and felt like our private oasis as we were the only visitors at that time. The temples were interesting and I appreciate Hitomi’s guidance on temple etiquette including how to rinse hands and mouth and how to pray. I loved the 600 year old tree that was next to one of the temples. The tour was informative, enjoyable and I would take tour again next time I visit Kagoshima. Thanks Hitomi!
Unique and Memorable Experience!

5.00This was the best tour of the many great ones we've taken in Japan and Europe. We are interested in learning about interesting areas and culture often overlooked by tour guides who focus on pretty but over visited places that become inauthentic. Hitomi asked about our preferences and incorporated them as we walked around interesting and picturesque sites. For instance, we appreciated learning more about basic shrine conduct. We tend to visit many in Japan and it is important to understand and respect the culture. We were impressed by Hitomi's knowledge of the area and the many references to history and normal life in Kagoshima. What a memorable experience.
