This e-bike tour & Rento’s guided ride are a must do - A+! - My 3 cousins & I decided to take this 3-hour e-bike tour while visiting our grandparents’ furusato (hometown) of Kagoshima to see Sakurajima as it is of major importance to the local region. Rento, our guide, was very helpful, knowledgeable & friendly. From the introduction in the visitors’ center all the way up to the upper viewing area & back, we had a fun, memorable time. All of us would highly recommend taking time to work this into your itinerary while visiting Kagoshima. A+ experience!

Highly recommend - Excellent tour guide ‘Rento’ very well informed and friendly. Had the luxury of a solo tour, weather was perfect. Delicious satsuma orange juice. Charming tranquil meandering ride back down- highly recommend!

Excellent Experience! - This is the only formal "experience" I booked during our two week trip to Japan. I went with my adult daughter. This tour exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend it. Rento was the sweetest guy! His English is good, he is very knowledgeable about the volcano and island (he lives on the island), and was very patient. I am 53 and in relatively good shape--but I hadn't spent much time on a bike in a while. I had never been on an e-bike. The first half (to the observation area) was a climb (Since "climb" is included in the title of the tour, I should have been more aware!). While an e-bike assists, a lot of effort is still required to bike uphill--especially getting started on an incline. I had to push my bike a few times on the way up, but Rento was super patient and encouraging. We were lucky to be the only ones in the tour that day! The observation tower was cool and the snack was yummy. The downhill on the way back was super fun! The best part of all is that Sakurajima decided to have the biggest eruption in 15 years and it started the day of our tour! Got some excellent photos. 4 days later, when returning to Kagoshima from a few days on Yakushima, the volcano was still erupting. I highly recommend Rento and Volcano Life Journey!

Great bike tour - Rento was a lovely guide, gave us loads of interesting information (and treats!) on the ride. The bikes, the route and the pace was perfect for us, his bike tour is a must! Definitely recommend

Fascinating volcano ride by e-bike! - A really great experience cycling with Rento this morning. The bikes were easy to use and made the hill climb easy! Super views of the volcano on the way up and from the observatory and a lovely ride down through the forest where we were lucky to see the volcanic plumes. Rento was very knowledgeable about the geology and geography of Sakurajima - we learnt a lot and enjoyed the delicious orange juice and sweet potato snacks provided!

Amazing volcanic climb - They did a fantastic job on the hill climb, loved all the information that was given to me along the way. The flower blossoms on the way down had amazing smell, and I was so surprised on how many orange trees were on them mountain. It was a great tour.

Great Sakurajima Volcano Tour - It was really a great tour of Sakurajima Island with Rento! He was not only able to describe to me all the interesting peculiarities of the volcanic landscapes, but also showed me beautiful viewpoints and told me something about the local farm. Just great and unforgettable for me, a thousand thanks!

Enjoyable ride around Sakurajima - Great way to tour around the island with an e-bike which was helpful in tackling the steep hills. Rento was informative and knowledgeable. Would recommend!

Pure happiness - The ride was really nice. I was lucky enough to be the only one who booked for that day and it is really an experience to do when you want to see the essentials of the island, its reliefs and its vegetation, with a sporty but affordable side. For me it's a must.

Wonderful! - The tour was a great experience! Rento is very friendly and has given exciting information about the island. The views were beautiful and above all it was (despite sporting activity) very relaxing and relaxing to simply follow Rento by bike. I would recommend the tour to anyone!
