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)

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.

“Beautiful Miyajima Island Tour”
Pancho took us to see the sacred island of Miyajima. The boat ride lasted 45 minutes after which Pancho showed us his favorite places on the island. His detailed commentary gave us lots of information about the history of the island and the many shrines built there. Before we left, we had a chance to make Momiji Manju, a maple-leaf-shaped confection at a local bakery. At the end of the day, we were grateful that Pancho agreed to have another meal with us. Pancho is easy to talk to and speaks English well. We highly recommend Pancho for your guide in Hiroshima.

“Educational yet Somber Hiroshima Tour”
Our tour with Hiroshima resident Pancho was very informative and provided us lots of details regarding the fateful day of August 6th, 1945. Pancho’s family’s personal experiences gave us a particular insight into the horrific events. Pancho was very easy to communicate with and we truly enjoyed our time with him. At the end of the day, he took us to his favorite okonomiyaki restaurant to eat. We enjoyed this Hiroshima favorite dish! We highly recommend Pancho if you need a guide in Hiroshima.
Tetsuo (pancho) H.
Thank you Virpi for your 5-star review! First of all, thank you for joining 2 tours in Hiroshima/Miyajima, it's one of a good way to spend time here with relax, taking more time way. Glad to hear that you enjoyed Hiroshima tour, even most visitors interests are hard time to here, but I was happy to share not only sad stories, but also more positive perspectives and how locals are recovered from devastation. It was such a great time having you and your husband as a guest, we enjoyed so many conversations, not only guiding, exchange stories each other. Thank you for inviting me a dinner which is also fun time to me sharing my favorite food in Japan. Thank you again for your recommendation too. I really happy to hear this Hiroshima/Miyajima days are great part of your Japan trip. Thank you, Pancho
