    Wonderful day!

    Julia_Y, Apr 2025
    We had a wonderful time exploring Sakurajima with our guide Shinju! He was so knowledgeable about the geology and history of the area. He was kind and personable and gave us plenty of time to explore. This volcano is fascinating. The tour was well organized and covered each of the important spots in just a few hours. Our expectations were exceeded in all areas. Excellent value for the price.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    I'm very happy to read your kind review! Yes, Sakurajima is very fascinating from the viewpoints of geology, history, and industry. And above all, Sakurajima is loved by many people. I was impressed by your interest in many different things. I want to live my life being interested in many different things, just like you. I'm sure you'll have another fresh experience at Sakurajima and in Kagoshima. Please come visit Kagoshima again! Thank you. Shinju
