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 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.

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, 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.

Beyond Sightseeing: Experience Real Rural Japan with a Hiroshima Rice Farmer
Looking for a side of Japan beyond the famous sights? I'd love to welcome you to my home in the mountains of Hiroshima. In a 200-year-old farmhouse where generations of our family have grown rice, spend a day walking through rice fields, discover the culture and traditions behind the rice. After sharing a homemade meal with the fresh vegetables, I'll prepare matcha in a quiet tatami room. This isn't a tour. It's an invitation into a part of Japan most visitors never see.

“Hiroshima Peace Park”
Emiko was a wonderful guide, meeting us on time at our port stop, guiding us to the points of interest, always with a little story or fact. She taught us a little of Japanese life and shared some personal thoughts which put everything in context. Her English is more than adequate, and her background as a teacher suited us well for this tour. We shared ideas and you can too. Little facts about the restaurant food was fun and historic issues were presented well. Take a tour with her, we would again.

I was truly impressed by you both, and I feel so fortunate to have been your guide. I learned so much from our conversation with such a thoughtful gentleman and such a sophisticated lady. Being able to share our thoughts on peace and different cultures is a real treasure for me. Please take good care of yourselves and enjoy the rest of your amazing trip in Japan!

“An unforgettable day in Hiroshima with Kate”
We were a group of four Canadian first time travellers to Hiroshima who wanted to optimize our time in this remarkable area. From beginning to end, Kate was a five star professional. We started communicating well before our trip and Kate provided exact instructions for how to get from Osaka to Hiroshima for the day tour right down to the times of trains. We were met at the station, driven around in a very comfortable van, and completed the itinerary like clockwork. Kate focused us on all the beautiful details at each site of Miyajima and also pointed out the ideal photo spots. We thoroughly appreciated Kate introducing us to delicious, local snacks and foods at each spot including grilled oysters, momiji manju, an exceptional okonomiyaki lunch at her favourite food counter and a first class lemon sorbet! Most importantly, Kate presented the history of Hiroshima with the perfect blend of compassionate historical knowledge and thought-provoking insight. This was an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Kate for your Hiroshima tour.
