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.

“Miyu is wonderful ”
Visiting Hiroshima was important to everyone in our group. We went in knowing it would be difficult (it was devastating), but Miyu, with her vast experience and straightforward but compassionate approach was the perfect guide. We all genuinely enjoyed spending the day with Miyu and we learned a great deal. she is an exceptional guide.

“Great day with Miyu”
Shi is a great guide with in-depth knowledge of Hiroshima, very polite and cooperative. She prepared an itinerary that almost covered all the best places in Hiroshima. I highly recommend her.

“Hiroshima Peace Museum & Shukkeien Garden”
Miyu was a wonderful and informative guide. She had to keep the attention of 3 teenagers and a 10 year old and she did that beautifully with the history of the bombings. Shukkeien Gardens is a must see Japanese Garden. Miyu was also gracious enough to purchase our Peace Museum tickets before we arrived so we didn't have to stand in line. Highly recommend Miyu as a guide.

Thanks a lot for the kind words. I really appreciate you giving young families the chance to see what actually happened in Hiroshima. It was a real pleasure spending time with your lovely family.
