Japan

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.

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.

Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed guide interpreter, 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!

Hi! Thanks for reviewing my profile. I am Australian, from Sydney originally but my life with Japan and its culture and history spans 30 odd years and I have been a Hiroshima resident for 18 of those 30 years. I joined GoWithGuide just recently but be assured I have led many tours in Hiroshima and more widely throughout metropolitan and regional Japan, sharing conversations about the unique society, its fascinating culture and history. I also have written several tourism blogs for inbound tour companies and also the Hiroshima Prefectural Tourism Bureau. I speak fluent Japanese and I have immersed myself in the experience of living here in modern and traditional culture and spent many years studying martial arts Aikido and Iaido. I also have a strong interest in Buddhist teachings. My Japanese calligraphy work over the years has been received recognition and several awards and commissions both in Japan and elsewhere. I'm looking forward to spending a great experience sharing the culture and history of Hiroshima with you.

Hello, my name is Azusa Arita. I'm a licensed tour guide in English. I think there is no big difference between what Japan is today and what you see about Japan in manga, except " Naruto." ( Sorry but Ninjya is no longer exist.) Japan is a two -faced society, a society of modern technology and that of tradition. That's why it seems mysterious and difficult to understand. Hiroshima is a good place to experience the both aspects of Japan. Do you know the darkness in which you 'll be a new person, or the special way you can gain the same amount of wisdom written in Buddhist scriptures at one time? Let's go and find the answers to these mysteries in Hiroshima. I'll make sure you have a great time in this tour.

One-day Hiroshima / Miyajima Private Tour

Hiroshima
7 hours

100 of out 10!

We had a fantastic day with Ms. Kahori. My kids loved the tour and rated it "100 out of 10", "best tour we ever had" (and we have had many tours). In the morning, she showed us the wonderful sights of Miyajima Island. We didn't know much of the island except the Torii gate, but she showed us so much and we wholeheartedly loved it. For lunch, we had okonomiyaki. She even made a reservation for us at a local restaurant on the island, so we could sit down and order as soon as we arrived, which saved a lot of waiting time. In the afternoon, we went to the Peace museum. It was a dark part of our history, but important for us and the kids to see. However, there was also a bright side to it. During our train ride to the museum, she showed us how to make origami paper cranes, which was great fun for the kids, and perfectly timed, since subsequently the kids decided to dedicate their cranes at the monuments we visited. She was extremely friendly and patient, and great to be around!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly wonderful to spend time with such a lovely family like yours. The conversations with your children, as well as with both of you as parents and scientists, were very meaningful and precious to me. The earnest and lively expressions on your children's faces have become a treasure in my heart! Thank you!

Miyajima And Hiroshima Tour

Kazumi was a fantastic tour guide! She was very easy to communicate with, and taught us so much! We absolutely loved our time with her, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to navigate this part of Japan.

Thank you for the great review! I really appreciate for accepting me as your guide today. Your kids are sooo lovely and friendly. I hope you are still having a great time in somewhere Japan and wish you have a safe journey back to Michigan! Kazumi

The Very Best Experience

We consider ourselves extraordinarily lucky to have found Miyu to guide us through the Hiroshima experience. Miyu was firstly absolutely delightful and accommodating of our changing schedule. Most importantly there is little about the horrors of Hiroshima history that she does not know and having been brought up in Hiroshima and having worked for many many years with bomb victims, she communicated all this in a very personal and sensitive manner. It was an incredibly moving visit and we are quite sure that we would have left with a far lesser understandimg if not for Miyu's help. Thank you MIyu

Chris O.

Miyu F.

Thank you for your heartwarming words. I look longingly at the photo we took together in front of the Japanese garden. It was a privilege to be able to take you to the huge bombed building that I consider the most important of all. May Hiroshima remain in your heart for a long time. I love the most delicious sweets in your country which your son gave me so much that I repeatedly buy it at the import store. Thank you.
