I was born and raised in Hiroshima, and my love for this city led me to switch from nursing to guiding. As a guide, I specialize in Hiroshima city downtown, Miyajima, Futaba no Sato, Onomichi, and Tomo-no-Ura. I also introduce secret photo spots and hidden gems. Using my experience as a nurse, I prioritize meticulous care and bring my natural brightness, aiming to provide a guide experience that allows you to fully enjoy Hiroshima.

Hello, welcome to my profile! I'm Keiko (Kay). As a national certified guide deeply passionate about the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of this area, I am eager to share these experiences with you. With over 16 years of experience living abroad, mostly in Europe, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in diverse cultures and meeting incredible people from around the world. I'm sociable, outgoing and love making new connections wherever I go. I'm also very active, enjoying sports like badminton, biking, jogging, and dancing, especially zumba and salsa. On top of that, I've been playing the piano for over *xx years, a passion that brings balance to my life. (The reason XX is simply because I hesitate to disclose my age...) Health and nutrition are important to me, as is the same to everyone, and I love exploring new ways to stay healthy and enjoy good food! Our itinerary will take us through some of the most iconic landmarks, as well as a few hidden gems that only locals know about. Whether you’re interested in exploring ancient architecture, indulging in the local cuisine, or learning about the fascinating history that has shaped this place, I am here to tailor the tour to your interests. Would I be a good fit for your company here in Hiroshima? Warm regards, Keiko(Kay)

I am a national licensed guide - interpreter and was born and raised in Hiroshima and have lived in Hiroshima for over 60 years. I worked as an engine engineering engineer for an automobile company for 42 years. During that period, I worked on the joint engine development program with Ford Motor Company for six years and spent 3 years in Germany and acquired English communication skills. While communicating with people from many countries both work and privately. I also learned the difficulties and joys of communicating with people from different countries. This prompted me to start working as an interpreter-guide after retiring from the automobile company. I think that the best way to know the local culture, food and history is to meet and talk with the locals. That's why I'm here. In my tour, as a descendant of a survivor of the atomic bomb, I talk about my family history. I myself love ramen and okonomiyaki, so I often go around trying delicious okonomiyaki and ramen restaurants. Why don't you join me in trying them?

Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed tour guide, and have just started working with GoWithGuide! I’m delighted to show people around this area. For the past almost 10 years, I have mainly guided foreign medical professionals around Hiroshima City and Miyajima, gaining a deep understanding of the effects of radiation and the support for A-bomb survivors. Hiroshima is a city of rivers and the sea. Along the rivers Cherry trees line, and the calm Seto Inland Sea, dotted with islands, creates a stunning landscape. Also, the sea has many islands called "art islands" which have fantastic arts relating to the art festival "Setoushi Triennale". In addition to our two World Heritage Sites, this area is rich in attractive resources. I hope many of you will come and experience this fascinating land. Personally, I am very passionate about modern art and enjoy sports like stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) on our rivers. I look forward to meeting you, interacting with you, and also, learning from you!

My name is Miyu. I have been a Nationally Licensed Guide Interpreter since 2009. I began my career as a tourist guide last year after working as a public servant for nearly four decades. I worked in the Atomic Bomb Survivors Support Division for 12 years until I retired from the local government, and I continue to interact with Hibakusha. Therefore, I have a lot of knowledge about A-bomb survivors, the reconstruction of Hiroshima, and the effects of radiation on the human body, which I can correctly convey to inbound visitors. I have experience in tea ceremonies and calligraphy and am especially good at guiding visitors through tea ceremony experiences. I love to watch baseball games, so I enjoy talking about them with guests from countries where they are popular. I am a volunteer medical interpreter and can respond to visitors' sudden health problems.

Harmony Jurney : Onigiri Making, Paper Crane Folding & Peace Memorial Park
Hiroshima

Dec 15, 2024
“Amazing Tour Guide”
We had such a fantastic day with Rika! She took us to a beautiful little house on the island of Ninoshima where we learned how to make onigiri and fold origami cranes. She talked about her childhood growing up in Hiroshima and told us the story of Sadako and the thousand cranes. We spent the afternoon in Hiroshima touring places that were not the normal sites for tourists and she took us through the history of the bombing of Hiroshima and the process of healing and recovery that has taken place since. I highly recommend that everyone visit Hiroshima when traveling to Japan and book a tour with Rika. It was a very special day.
Rika F.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted to hear that you found the onigiri-making experience, the island house visit, the origami crane activity, and the time at the Peace Park meaningful. For me as well, the conversations we shared about peace and Hiroshima during the ferry rides and at the island house were both enjoyable and meaningful. It was truly an honor to meet you both in Hiroshima, a place I hold so dear. Please visit Hiroshima again—I’ll be waiting for you! Rika
“Best tour we’ve ever had ”
We did a 4.5hr tour with Miyu-san, and it was nothing short of incredible. We had limited time in Hiroshima and Miyu-san made every minute count, ensuring we got to visit all the sites we wanted to. She kindly met us at our hotel, took us to the museum (she had prearranged tickets), Peace memorial park, Dome, hypocentre, castle and garden, and helped us get to the station. Her local knowledge and experience working with survivors put movement and colour around the experience that we otherwise wouldn’t have got if we had gone self guided. She has many sad and beautiful stories to share, which illuminated our time beyond a ‘tourist’ visit into a real, meaningful and heartfelt experience. Highly recommend.
Miyu F.
Thank you for your heart-warming comment. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to come to Hiroshima and see the reality of the atomic bombing. I recently registered with GoWithGuide and was pleasantly surprised to receive your booking the next day. I am thrilled that you are my first visitors. What a lovely picture of the carp you have taken. May your day in Hiroshima remain in your memory for a long time.
