Hi everyone. I'm Kazumi. I am a qualified tour guide.I have been guiding Hiroshima since 2010. Through guiding Hiroshima, I can give my guests my knowledge of this area and Japanese culture. At the same time, I can learn their understanding of Japan and the differences between our culture and theirs, which is very interesting. I also believe that meeting with local people is the best way to know the area. I was born and grew up in Hiroshima. I am very happy to give you wonderful time and memories in Hiroshima. I am really looking forward to hearing from you.

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.

Hello! I'm Naomi—a licensed local guide, a rice farmer, and a mother of three in Hiroshima. I believe that travel is about more than visiting famous places—it's about meeting people, sharing stories, and creating connections that stay with us long after the journey ends. That's why I love being a guide. Through this work, I've had the privilege of meeting wonderful people from all over the world, and every tour feels like the beginning of a new friendship. My family and I live in a 200-year-old traditional farmhouse in the peaceful countryside, where generations before us have grown rice and cared for the land. As a working rice farmer, I enjoy sharing not only Japan's iconic sights, but also the everyday traditions, values, and way of life that many visitors never have the chance to experience. I began learning English at the age of 40 because I wanted to connect with people beyond Japan. Although I haven't traveled overseas very much, welcoming guests into my world has shown me that kindness, curiosity, and laughter can bridge any cultural difference. Whether we're exploring Hiroshima's World Heritage Sites or spending time in the countryside, my hope is that you'll leave with more than beautiful photographs. I hope you'll leave with unforgettable memories, a deeper understanding of Japan, and perhaps even a friend in Hiroshima. I look forward to meeting you!

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.

Hello, my name is Sei, a tour guide of Hiroshima, aged 79, quite an old man. But don’t worry, I can compete with young men in walking. Since the beginning of the year 2023, I have given tours to roughly 900 groups,2700 tourists from overseas, I enjoy giving the tour at the two world cultural heritage sites in Hiroshima, the Miyajima Island with the magnificent shrine built over the sea, and the Atomic Bomb Dome in the Peace Memorial Park. Giving the tour at the Peace Park is more meaningful to me than other sites. The Peace Park is a place of thought-provoking. There, you will further strengthen your awareness of peace. Some day in the near future, I will be accompanying you in Hiroshima as your tour guide. Till then, by now.

“A must see to remind us all of the horrors of war”
The tour was very insightful and full of personal perspective. Kazumi San was well informed, articulate and happy to explore not just the details of the absolutely awful devastation on innocent civilians but also its impacts on the Japanese psyche and their attitudes to war and peace. It was one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the trip and Kazumi San was a wonderful guide.
Kazumi M.
Thank you for choosing my tour and giving me a great review, Srini. It was the day before the Memorial Day so the Park was busy with lots of organization and preparation for the Memorial ceremony. I appreciated that you could feel the importance of visiting here and see what really happened here. I also really enjoyed conversation with you all. Especially, Dorking and Sanctuary. Please send my best regards to your family. Hope you have a great time in Japan. Thank you again. Kazumi

Dear Jason I greatly appreciate your thoughtful review. It was truly an honor to welcome you and your family over here.

As you know, Hiroshima is now preparing to commemorate the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombing on August 6 this year. We sincerely hope that Hiroshima's aspiration for a peaceful world will continue to inspire people everywhere around the world. Thank you very much. Mayumi
