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)

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.

I was born and raised in Hiroshima, and my love for this city led me to switch from nursing to guiding. As a guide, I specialize in Hiroshima city downtown, Miyajima, Futaba no Sato, Onomichi, and Tomo-no-Ura. I also introduce secret photo spots and hidden gems. Using my experience as a nurse, I prioritize meticulous care and bring my natural brightness, aiming to provide a guide experience that allows you to fully enjoy Hiroshima.

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.

Hello, I’m Naomi, a guide, a rice farmer and a mom of three. I live in the peaceful countryside of Hiroshima. 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.

“Super Day in Hiroshima”
Keiko arrived early for our tour and met us in our hotel. Her communications before the day were perfect and she was a great host in the city. We followed her half day walking tour (see her tour description) and we had plenty of time to see what we wanted to see. She was very knowledgable about all of the places we visited and spent time teaching us all about the history and culture of the city. She even delivered an impromptu origami lesson. We used the local public transport, which was easy and cheap and, after saying goodbye, we went on to eat in a restaurant that she recommended - it was one of the best meals we ate while we were in Japan. Overall, a great host and a great tour. Thanks Kay - you are a star!
Keiko K.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. I truly enjoyed our conversations throughout the tour. They were not only fun but also thought-provoking. It felt a little awkward to explain history and politics to experts like you! I hope you had a wonderful time exploring Miyajima the day after our tour. At least the weather was on your side, wasn't it? There are many more beautiful places to discover in Hiroshima, so I sincerely hope you'll come back and visit again someday. It would be a pleasure to see you both again! Warm regards, Kay

“Lovely Day out in Miyajima”
We spent half a day with Kazumi at Miyajima and she was a fantastic host. We met her at the train station in Hiroshima, where she waited for us with a sign (super easy to find). Then an easy JR train and ferry to the island, where she showed us around the sites (see her tour listing). Her English is exceptional (not surprising as she lived in the UK for several years) and she is very knowledgable about the island sites. She wad full of interesting facts about the island and gave us plenty of time to see what we wanted to see. After a great lunch (which she recommended), we waved her off. Overall, a brilliant day and a great host. Thanks Kazumi!
Kazumi M.
Thank you for your lovely review, Andy. I hope that you could see a beautiful sunset and sunrise over Torii gate in the next morning. It was nice meeting with you two. You reminded me a beautiful English countryside. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan. Please say thank you to Katie, too. Thank you again Kazumi
