About Tour Guide 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.

“Paper cranes for children’s peace monument”
The whole family had a wonderful time with Miyu, from the moment we were picked up .. it was great listening to her stories of the many sites in Hiroshima. We would have missed so many details without her telling us the background .. from the 88 statues representing the pilgrimage to the 1003 paper cranes Sadako Sasak made before her death after the atomic bomb. It was a great day trip and recommend using her for anyway who wants to experience all that Hiroshima has to offer..
Miyu F.
Thank you for the wonderful review. I was deeply moved when your 11- and 9-year-old children listened so attentively as I talked about the atomic bomb at Peace Park. I hope that today’s experience in Hiroshima will remain in your family’s hearts for a long time to come.
