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.

Naomi K.
Hello, I’m Naomi, a certified guide. I live in the peaceful countryside of Hiroshima, where I am a rice farmer, writer, and mother of three. Our family resides in a 200-year-old traditional farmhouse, surrounded by nature and history. I began learning English again at the age of 40, and although I don’t have much overseas experience, guiding visitors has become one of my greatest joys. Sharing Japan through my own eyes makes every encounter exciting and meaningful. I love welcoming people and building connections across cultures. If my hospitality can add a special touch to your journey in Japan, it would bring me great happiness. I look forward to meeting you—thank you!

Yoshiyuki Y.
I was born and raised in Hiroshima, and I have been guiding visitors for more than ten years. For the past three years, I have been a professional guide, and I have conducted over 200 paid tours. My specialties are guiding visitors around the Peace Memorial Museum, the Peace Park, and Miyajima Island. I also enjoy introducing people to Saijo, which is famous for its sake breweries. Thanks to my long experience, I am able not only to explain the exhibits and monuments, but also to share the deeper stories behind them. Many of my guests have told me they especially appreciated this. As a second-generation atomic bomb survivor, I feel a strong responsibility to pass on the stories of Hiroshima to people from around the world. At the same time, I want my guests to enjoy the beauty and hospitality of this city. I look forward to guiding you and creating memorable experiences together. Thank you very much

Kahori M.
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!

Hiroshima Tour Reviews
Jo R.
“Hiroshima City Sightseeing Tour with Hideo”
Thank you Hideo, absolute pleasure to have met you. This was a great tour, pity the castle was closed but the samurai standing guard and taking photos with them made up for it. Hideo is kind and caring making sure everything worked out for us. Lunch was Okonomiyaki, and was the best in a little local spot only Hideo knew. Definitely better than cruise ship tours. Would do this again in a heartbeat. Arigato Hideo

Hideo Y.
I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. I was very surprised to see your guest offering a big paper crane and a set of 1,000 paper cranes at Peace memorial Park. This is the first time I've ever seen foreign tourist bringing paper cranes. I'll never forget her kindness and thoughtfulness. We could enjoy having Okonomiyaki, a popular local food, at the restaurant with the common touch. I hope to see you again. I wish you all the best for your good health and continued success.

“Miyajima & Hiroshima with Mayumi: 10/10!”
Rain couldn’t dampen this incredible experience with Mayumi! It poured the entire day during our tour of Miyajima Island and Hiroshima, but thanks to Mayumi, we barely noticed the weather. Despite being wet and cold, Mayumi’s cheerful energy and deep knowledge kept our spirits high. She orchestrated every detail beautifully, constantly checking in on our needs and ensuring there was never a dull moment. Since it was a jam-packed itinerary, she expertly helped us prioritize the most important sights so we didn't feel overwhelmed. From the seamless pickup at the train station to the final drop-off, she looked after us completely. Mayumi is an incredibly knowledgeable guide, and even with the relentless rain, we never felt like we missed out on anything. She truly made our day special! Thank you Mayumi.

May your journey ahead be filled with the same warmth and brilliance you bring to others effortlessly. I have no doubt that many more wonderful moments await you. With heartfelt thanks, Mayumi
