MESSAGE

Tadayuki SHIMADZU

I am a descendant of the Shimazu family, which ruled Kagoshima Prefecture for over 700 years.

The Shimadzu family is a famous family that has appeared many times in Japanese history.
My great great grandmother, Iwa Shimadzu, is the niece of the drama “Atsuhime”, which aired on Japanese national television for one year. This drama has been widely aired overseas, and many people have visited Kagoshima after watching this drama.

I personally love traveling and have visited many different countries. I started my current job of producing travel based on the experiences and impressions I had at that time.

Most of Kagoshima’s historical festivals originate from the history of the Shimadzu family.
I would like to tell you such stories and special stories that only the Shimadzu family members of the princess drama “Atsuhime” would know.

So far, we have given lectures to over 10,000 people at culture schools in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, and guided VIPs from overseas.

We offer experiences where you can immerse yourself in famous places where you can enjoy Japan’s rich four seasons and beautiful scenery that meets your needs.
Currently, as the only precious guide in Kagoshima, we are conducting private tours escorted by a private car.

We will continue to work with local people to produce sustainable travel in order to pass on Kagoshima’s history, culture, and traditions to the next generation.
We look forward to meeting you all.

President
Tadayuki Shimadzu
