We had a great time! - We loved the tour! The island and volcano are so beautiful. Rento was a great guide and knew a lot about Japan and this island. Going up the volcano was a piece of cake at first but after a few meters it got a lot harder haha. So glad Rento saw this, we took around 3 breaks going up the mountain. Thank you for the lovely day! Wishing you and your cute family a good life ❤️

AMAZING!!!! 😻 - AMAZING!!! Yesterday it’s rainy and I was worried that it might be cancelled. Luckily 🍀 Rento took me to tour around on Sakurajima and even took the uphill to a closer view of the volcano. He’s very well prepared with geological knowledge and history of all-you-need-to-know-about Sakurajima. I feel so lucky to join his tour and feel like healthier after the cycling exercise 🚴 16 km!! no kidding but I did it and so will you. Highly highly highly recommended. Thank you Rento for treating me with local specialties when we took the break on top.

Customer communication - I didn't actually get to go on the bike ride as the operator cancelled the trip due to the weather. This was a wise decision due to the rain and poor visibility. The operator contacted me by email advising me of the cancellation and apologising for not being able to undertake the ride. They also advised me that my refund would be forthcoming which arrived in my account the next day. Although disappointed by not being able to do the ride, I was more than pleased with the operator's commitment to customer communications, refunds and safety.

Best day in Japan. - This was my best day in Japan. Came all the way from Las Vegas NV. Rento was an amazing tour guide. Kind and knows his history of the area. We got exercise and a wonderful tour. Ask for Rento when you book he will plan an amazing day for you.

A Must Do Tour!! - This tour was a terrific way to experience Sakurajima. The bikes were very easy to operate. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. Rento was the BEST guide-happy, accommodating, smiling and informative. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. If you’re in Kagoshima, you should ferry over to Sakurajima and climb the volcano with Rento!

So much fun! Highly Recommend! - This was a wonderful experience. I had SO much fun! An e-bike it the perfect way to see Sakurajima. Plenty of breaks and photo opportunities. Lentil (may not be correct spelling) was the perfect guide, a local with all the knowledge, excellent English (important for me), and extremely accommodation to my needs and wants (notably, taking a lot of breaks!).

Great afternoon trip - Remco is a well prepared and knowledgeable local who did a good route for us. Don't take this trip if you wish to do cardio. But if you wish to learn about this active volcano you at a great plac. Consider the weather when you plan your trip
