Miyu F.
My name is Miyu. I am a Nationally Licensed Guide Interpreter. I began my career as a tourist guide 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. Discover Hiroshima beyond the guidebooks. With my background in local government and years of involvement in support for atomic bomb survivors, I offer thoughtful, personalized tours that explore not only Hiroshima's tragic past but also its recovery, resilience, and hopes for peace.

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.

Hiroshima Tour Reviews

“A day we will remember for the rest of our lives”
Kate is a remarkable guide. Her English is perfect and she put together a custom tour for us, that was perhaps, the best tour we have ever experienced. She planned a private meal with us and a local fisherman. When we returned to our boat no one could believe how much better our tour was than the ship’s excursion. It couldn’t have been better.

“An Amazing Family Experience with Keiko in Hiroshima and Miyajima!”
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Keiko during our visit to Hiroshima and Miyajima! From the very beginning, Keiko was incredibly communicative, responsive, and helpful. She made sure everything was well organized and that we had all the information we needed before our tour, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We were traveling as a family with our two young children, ages 4 and 7, and one of the things we appreciated the most was how thoughtful and considerate she was of their needs. She made sure the pace of the tour was comfortable for everyone and was always attentive, patient, and flexible. Keiko is extremely knowledgeable, and her explanations were always clear, interesting, and easy to understand. She helped us appreciate the history and significance of the places we visited, especially in Hiroshima, while making the experience engaging and enjoyable for the whole family. Beyond being an excellent guide, Keiko is a genuinely kind and caring person. We felt very comfortable with her throughout the day, and it was clear that she truly enjoys sharing her knowledge and culture with visitors. We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Visiting Hiroshima and Miyajima was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan, and Keiko played a big part in making it so special. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting the area, especially families traveling with children. Thank you so much, Keiko, for such a memorable day!

Keiko K.
Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! Your visit to Hiroshima with your two little angels was truly memorable for me as a guide. I was especially touched by the way you, as parents, made such an effort to explain Hiroshima’s tragic history of the atomic bombing to your young children in detail, translating my explanations from English into Spanish so they could understand. Your children were also so well-behaved, and I could really see how much love, care, and dedication you put into raising them. I hope you will come back and visit Hiroshima again someday. I’ll be looking forward to welcoming you all back! Hugs, Keiko

Kazumi was an excellent guide - we asked her to take us to an area that wasn’t the typical tour for visitors. She checked out the area before we arrived and was able to provide us with a unique visit. Thank you so much!!!!
