Reisroute
Deze terminal ligt vlak bij de haven van Kagoshima en is de belangrijkste toegangspoort tot Sakurajima. Zowel passagiers als voertuigen kunnen hier instappen voor een korte veerboottocht over de baai. Vanaf de cruisehaven stapt u direct met de auto over op de veerboot. (500 Yen/persoon)
Het hoogst bereikbare punt op Sakurajima, gelegen op ongeveer 373 meter boven zeeniveau. Vanaf hier kunnen bezoekers genieten van close-up uitzicht op de ruige hellingen van de actieve vulkaan, evenals een panoramisch uitzicht op Kagoshima City en Kinko Bay.
Dit observatorium ligt aan de zuidelijke kant van Sakurajima en bevindt zich in een uitgestrekt lavaveld dat is ontstaan door eerdere uitbarstingen. Bezoekers kunnen genieten van een dramatisch uitzicht op de hellingen van de actieve vulkaan en het contrast tussen ruige lavaformaties en het blauwe water van Kinko Bay. Wandelpaden door het lavaveld maken het een indrukwekkende plek om de vulkanische kracht van Sakurajima van dichtbij te ervaren.
Een schilderachtig wandelpad dat zich ongeveer 3 km uitstrekt langs de kustlijn van Sakurajima, omringd door lavarotsen van eerdere uitbarstingen. De promenade biedt een indrukwekkend uitzicht op de vulkaan en Kinko Bay. Aan het einde van de wandeling kunnen bezoekers gratis ontspannen in een van Japans grootste openlucht voetbaden met natuurlijke warmwaterbronnen, terwijl ze genieten van de zeebries en het berglandschap.
Een historische Japanse tuin aangelegd in 1658 door de machtige Shimazu clan, heersers van het Satsuma domein. Deze prachtig aangelegde tuin beschikt over vijvers, heiligdommen en traditionele woningen, met Sakurajima als een prachtig decor over Kinko Bay.

We had an awesome time and our driver was so kind and helpful. He even helped us order a traditional Japanese lunch.
For the first two hours, this tour was a 1*. It was not much more than transportation. Read the fine print. I have taken literally dozens of Viator tours, airport, hotel and cruise transport services. Our driver Sakoka was a very kind and safe driver, we liked him very much. No English language skills and very little knowledge of the destinations we visited. The fine print says they will provide in advance a detailed downloadable pdf of our stops. No such pdf was sent. After 1.5 hours of WhatsApp texts with the tour operator, a readable pdf was sent which provided some information.. if you are interested in transportation services only, this would be a good choice. If you want a tour with a knowledgeable guide, look for other options.
The driver was excellent but we signed up for an English speaking driver however the driver we had spoke no English. We had to use a translation app which was slow, painful and not terribly accurate. Not the drivers fault, he tried very hard to be accommodating but I will never book with this company again.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the communication experience did not meet your expectations and caused frustration during your tour. At the same time, we sincerely appreciate your kind comments regarding the driver’s efforts and accommodating attitude throughout the day. As stated on the product page and in the pre-tour information materials, this service is operated by a Japanese-speaking driver, with communication support provided through translation apps when needed. We understand, however, that the “English - Written” language setting on the Viator platform may sometimes create different expectations regarding spoken English support. We truly regret the disappointment this caused and appreciate your honest feedback, which helps us continue improving the clarity of our tour descriptions and communication for future travelers. Thank you again for choosing our service during your visit to Japan.
We booked a private tour specifically with an English-speaking guide and were sent a confirmation photo of that guide in advance. However, a different guide arrived who did not speak English, which significantly impacted the experience and did not match the service we paid for. This is a clear case of the tour not being delivered as advertised. We are requesting a partial refund to reflect the reduced value of the experience.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that we did not provide or confirm an English-speaking guide for this booking, nor did we send any confirmation photo of such a guide in advance. As stated on the product page and in the pre-tour information materials, this service is operated by a Japanese-speaking driver, with communication support provided through translation apps when needed. We understand that the “English - Written” language setting on the Viator platform may sometimes create confusion regarding the type of language support included, and we sincerely regret any misunderstanding this may have caused. However, there was no intention to mislead regarding the nature of the service provided. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to make our service descriptions even clearer for future travelers.
We did not realize that we had not booked a guide with this tour. It was just a taxi driver who had limited English and knew our itinerary. The driver was very nice and with the help of giigle translator we managed to have a good time on the trip. I know this was probably my error but it would have been nice it the lack of guide had been more obvious with booking.
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback and experience with us. We are glad to hear that, despite the misunderstanding regarding the guide service, you were still able to enjoy your day and that the driver helped make the experience pleasant and comfortable. As stated on the product page and in the information materials sent before the tour, this service is operated by a Japanese-speaking driver rather than a licensed tour guide. Communication support is provided through translation apps when needed. We understand, however, that this may not have been clear enough during the booking process, especially on the Viator platform, and we truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding this point. We are continuously working to make our tour descriptions and pre-tour information easier to understand in order to avoid misunderstandings for future travelers. Thank you again for your understanding and for choosing our service during your visit to Japan.

Kikuchi-san was an excellent driver and guide. He was very accommodating, patient, polite and helpful. His professionalism was evident in the direction and instructions as he highlighted all the sites. He also takes great pictures!!! Most of all, with my anxiety of missing the ship, Kikuchi-san got us back in time to do some shopping in the terminal pop-ups. Arigato gozaimasu!!!

Your kind words about his professionalism, attentiveness, and helpful guidance mean a great deal to us. We are especially pleased to know that he was able to make you feel comfortable and at ease, particularly regarding your concern about returning to the ship on time.

We will be sure to share your kind feedback with Kikuchi-san. Thank you again for choosing our service, and we hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Japan.
Kagoshima is a city with beautiful nature around it, especially the Sakurajima volcano and the Sengan garden. Unfortunately we had bad weather and we could not enjoy beautiful views from and on the volcano... That made the day a bit less beautiful... We did the hot lava water foot bath and the volcano field walk! Well eaten in the Sengan garden and made a nice walk...
Thank you very much for your kind review. We’re sorry to hear that the weather was not ideal during your visit, but we’re glad you were still able to enjoy experiences such as the lava foot bath, the volcanic walk, and your time at Sengan-en. Kagoshima offers many beautiful views, and we hope you’ll have another chance to visit on a clearer day to fully enjoy the scenery, especially around Sakurajima. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future.
We had a wonderful day with Tanaka. He was courteous, attentive and charming. He took us to the most amazing restaurant for lunch and a wonderful tour of the world Heritage Sengan-en gardens. We couldn’t have asked for a better person..
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had such a great day with our driver. He will be very happy to know that his service made your experience so special. We’re also glad you enjoyed the restaurant and your visit to the World Heritage site Sengan-en. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your feedback. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
