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.

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. 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!

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.

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

“An Unforgettable Day in Hiroshima with Kay.”
Kay-san was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly kind, warm, and knowledgeable, and she made our day in Hiroshima truly unforgettable. She shared the history with such care and compassion while also making the experience enjoyable and engaging for our whole family. We felt welcomed, well taken care of, and never rushed. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience, and her friendly personality made the tour even more special. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!! Kay was a perfect 10/10! Thank you for helping create such a meaningful memory during our trip to Japan. Anina was absolutely right! you were the best tour guide we had in Japan! Love, Janet, Maria and Laura
Keiko K.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a real pleasure spending the day with all of you. Now that the rainy season has ended, summer has truly arrived in Japan, and it was quite a hot and humid day. Despite the weather, I had a wonderful time exploring with you. I am truly grateful that Anina brought us together and led to such a wonderful meeting. Next time, I hope you'll stay in Hiroshima for a few days. I'd love to take you to some of the beautiful countryside and scenic spots. Tomorrow is your last day in Japan, so I hope you'll enjoy as many Japanese foods and experiences as you can, with no regrets. Make the most of your final day! I hope to see you again someday. Love, Kay

“Pancho is the best!!”
We had the most wonderful day with Pancho! Our group of 8 (ranging from age 13-73) all thoroughly enjoyed our day. Pancho is very knowledgeable, friendly and fun! We were initially going to just explore Miyajima and Hiroshima on our own, but we are so glad that we were able to spend the day with Pancho. There were countless things we would have missed out on. Go with Pancho - he’s the best!

Hi Heathere, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was such a pleasure spending the day with your family. I really enjoyed getting to know everyone, and I'm especially happy to hear that guests of all ages enjoyed the experience together(and I did). I'm also delighted that you felt the guided tour helped you discover places and stories that might otherwise have been missed. That's exactly what I hope every guest takes away from the day. Thank you again for your kind recommendation. I hope to welcome you all back to Hiroshima someday! Warm regards, Pancho
