We were a group of 8 passengers from a cruise ship and Eiji was our guide for 5 hours..He had excellent local knowledge and spoke an excellent English.Eiji provided a very interesting tour of Amami.After pickup from Naze Port we drove to Kinksakubaru forest for a short stroll to admire the local flora.Then a break at Ohama Beach and the Tsumugi Museum to see the process involved in making high-quality silk fabric to make tradional kimonos. We highly recommend Eiji should you visit this part of Japan.
NOTE: We combined two tours with Eiji and this review will cover both of them! SUMMARY: Eiji is a perfect guide who speaks English extremly well, and, at the same time, just a very nice and funny guide – If you get the chance to get to Amami Oshima, try to book a tour with him.

So in fact this review is two reviews combined! So we spent about 8-9 hours with Eiji, and we had a wonderful time! Even before the tour started, communication with Eiji was easy and he gave us useful advice on what to do on Amami (you can spend the time as you like ... read more
Hi Julius, Thank you for the review with a lot of compliments. I'm very happy that it seems to be you enjoyed my tours a lot!! I also enjoyed spending time with two of you. I went for night tour last night with 4 Japanese clients and saw just 3 rabbits. So, you were rather lucky that you saw about 10 at that night, or the rabbits showed up to say hello because you are from Germany...?! It's been good weather so hope you have been enjoying Amami. And hope you will enjoy and find new more at next itineraries too. Thank you very much, Julius & Alexa. Danke. Eiji.
