Kagoshima
I used this for sightseeing at the cruise port. Since I was with my parents in their 60s, we took it easy while exploring. My father, who was visiting Japan for the first time, was very satisfied.

60代の両親と一緒なので、気楽にまわってきました。
初日本の父も大満足でした。
Our driver was prompt in meeting us at the port for our shore excursion with friends. His English wasn't great, but he was very adept at using google translate to narrate what we were passing by and where we were going. We had great communication ahead of time with the company to indicate where we wanted to go and he got us to the Kamikaze museum, (we spent about an hour) and to the samurai gardens, even showing the way and where to pay (if you don't know that you may enter at the wrong end of the street.) He picked us up at the end, which saved us a long walk back up the pedestrian street.
We liked our itinerary because it got us inland and showed us the beautiful green hills of that part of Japan. We returned to the ship with plenty of time. If you know what you want to see (we compared itineraries with the ship's shore excursion) and can share a car this is a very cost-effective way to see a port stop.
This is a driver and vehicle-not an accompanied tour. Make sure you have Google translate.
I used this service for sightseeing at the cruise port. The arrival and departure times changed due to the weather, but they were very accommodating, which was a great help. They tailored the tour to our desired sightseeing spots and even took us to recommended restaurants and hidden gems. Although our time was limited, we were able to enjoy Kagoshima sightseeing efficiently and thoroughly. Since everything was well planned, I had no worries about returning to the port on time and felt completely at ease leaving it in their hands! It was also a lot of fun to hear local stories from the driver. Since tours from cruise ships can be quite expensive, I highly recommend this taxi charter service for those who want to explore their favorite places.
クルーズの寄港地の観光で利用しました。天候で入港出港時間が変更になりましたが、対応していただき助かりました。こちらの希望の観光地に沿って周っていただき、さらにおすすめのレストランや穴場のお店に寄っていただき、限られた時間でしたが、効率良くしっかりと鹿児島観光を堪能させていただきました。計算されていたので港に帰る時間も全く心配なく安心しておまかせできました!運転手さんの地元ならではのお話も聞けてとても楽しかったです。クルーズ船のツアーだと割高なので、タクシーチャーターして自分たちの好きなところを観光したい方にはとてもおすすめです。
As part of our sightseeing at the cruise ship's port of call, we requested a sightseeing taxi. Since my mother is elderly and cannot walk for long, we discussed the course with the driver on the day of our trip. They created a perfect itinerary that included all the places we wanted to visit, and we were able to return to the ship on time. It turned out to be an unforgettable journey. I'm really glad we made this request!

母は高齢で長くは歩けないということで、当日に運転手さんと相談してコースを決めて頂きましたが、
行きたいとお伝えした場所を含め、完璧なコースを組んでいただき、時間通りに船に戻ることができ、忘れられない旅となりました。
お願いして、本当によかったです!
I was able to efficiently visit key spots within a limited time. The historical insights shared made the time enjoyable. I was taken to a delicious ramen shop that you wouldn't find in travel magazines, which was a unique local experience. It was a lot of fun.
限られた時間内で要所要所を効率よく巡っていただけました。
歴史的な事も話していただけて、楽しく時間が過ぎました。
地元の方ならではの、旅行雑誌にはのらない美味しいラーメン屋さんに連れて行っていただいたりしました。楽しかったです。
The taxi driver, Mr Sugimoto-san was really helpful and drove really carefully. He took me everywhere I wanted to go and was very polite. I 100% recommend his services ! :-)
Also the cost for this experience was very reasonable.
If you want to do some sight seeing on your own at your own pace, book this experience!
