Emiko M.

Hi, I am Emiko, Hiroshima Prefectural Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I was born and raised in Hiroshima, and I love sharing the history, culture, and everyday life of this beautiful region with visitors from around the world. As the child of an A-bomb survivor, Hiroshima's history is deeply personal to me. I believe that sharing its story of tragedy, resilience, and hope for peace is at the heart of my guiding. In addition to Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Museum, I also enjoy introducing visitors to the beauty of Miyajima, Hiroshima Castle, Shukkein Garden, and other local treasures. I tailor each tour to your interests, whether history, culture, food, or daily life. I always hope that our guests will take away lots of positive energy from Hiroshima, a city that was resilient and revived like a phoenix, in spite of its sad history. While realizing customers' wishes, I will introduce you the beauty of Hiroshima, Miyajima and so on, which are tranquil and peaceful places with a unique charm that cannot be found in big cities. I am happy to answer any questions about things Japanese. I'll do everything to the best of my ability to make your trip enjoyable and fruitful. I look forward to welcoming you and making your visit truly memorable!

Keiko K.

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)

Miyu F.

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.

Hello, I am Mari. I was born and raised in Hiroshima. After spending six years in Tokyo for university and work, I eventually returned to my hometown and became a licensed interpreter guide.

Whether you are visiting Hiroshima for its history, culture, food, or simply to enjoy a day in a new place, I hope to make your time here comfortable, meaningful, and memorable. My hometown is also a city that has shown remarkable resilience and rebuilt itself with hope. I would be very happy to explore this special city with you and create some wonderful memories together.

Chisato D.

I have been guiding for about 7 years. The main areas are eastern Hiroshima Prefecure, Fukuyama, Onomichi, Shimanami Kido, and Tomonoura. I also offer guided tours of Hiroshima, Miyajima and Kurashiki. I would like to be an entertaining and inspirational guide through conversations with guests.

Sachiko I.

Hello! I’m Sachi, a local guide in Hiroshima. My goal is to make your trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible. With my all-inclusive tours, you won’t have to worry about ticket purchases, transportation details, or handling small payments along the way—everything is taken care of so you can simply relax and enjoy the moment.

I’m deeply passionate about my home town's rich history, vibrant food scene, and beautiful scenery, and I love creating customized itineraries tailored to your unique interests.

Takuma K.

Hi! Do you want to explore the real Japanese town where most tourists never get to see? Of course, I can guide you through famous places like the Peace Park and Miyajima. But my favorite experience is taking people to a hidden local town just 10 minutes from Hiroshima Station — a place where samurai once stayed, where everyday Japanese life still quietly exists, and where you might even naturally meet and talk with local Japanese people. I’ve lived in this town for more than 20 years, so I accidentally became a local Hiroshima expert xD Because I actually run these tours regularly, I know how to create experiences that feel personal, authentic, and memorable — not just another sightseeing checklist. Many guests tell me the tour became one of the most meaningful parts of their trip to Japan. If you want more than “tourist Japan,” I’d love to show you the real one.

“Enjoyable Day Exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima With Mayumi”

While planning for our 2026 trip to Japan and South Korea, I came upon Go With Guide as a possibility for our tour of Hiroshima. This was going to be one of the must do points of our entire trip. I chose Mayumi and am so glad I did. She is a great communicator and made the booking so much easier. As for the tour itself, she is very knowledgeable on the sites we saw, especially Hiroshima. My Wife and I came away with a better historical understanding of the event along with making a new friend. We highly recommend her if you are looking for a tour while in Hiroshima. It will exceed your expectations!

Kate was an excellent guide. Her planned 4 hour itinerary was just right. She had volumes of knowledge and was open to any suggestions. She even took the time to teach us oldsters how to fold an Origami paper crane. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
