This was truly a wonderful tour. We arrived in port on the cruise ship the Crystal Symphony and the volcano erupted in front of our eyes. Spectacular. Hitomi met us at the port had everything arranged. She chartered a very nice jumbo taxi with a very friendly professional driver. Real luxury. We took the Sakurajima ferry to the Sakuragjima volcano. We had an informative visit to the museum, a geothermal footbath, hike through the lava fields, and lookout over the bay. We had a fantastic lunch at Bakuro yakiniku restaurant. Lunch was not only delicious, but also a great experience. We toured of Senganen Garden. The Senganen Garden gave us a real feel for life as a Samurai. I wish we had more time; there is so much to see.
Hitomi is a lovely person. Her English and grammar are excellent. Lots of stories and a wonderful sense of humor. She knows the history, the culture and geography. Very informative. No question went unanswered, and we asked a lot of questions.
5 Stars, no question!
