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.


Reviews

Absolutely unforgettable, one of the best experiences we have ever had while traveling.

Our full day Hiroshima and Miyajima World Heritage Sites tour with Miyu was one of the most meaningful, moving, and beautifully organized experiences we have ever had while traveling. Miyu was extraordinary from start to finish. She brought warmth, intelligence, grace, humor, and deep historical knowledge to every part of the day. Hiroshima is a place that deserves to be experienced with care and reflection, and Miyu guided us through it with the perfect balance of compassion, context, and insight. She helped us understand not only the historical significance of what we were seeing, but also the human stories, cultural meaning, and lasting message of peace behind it all. Her insights about and messages from the Hiroshima survivors around the world was inspirational. Miyajima was equally magical. Miyu made the island come alive, from the iconic floating torii gate to the shrines, traditions, scenery, food, and quiet little details we never would have noticed on our own. Every moment felt seamless. She managed the timing, transportation, explanations, and pace so effortlessly that we could simply relax, learn, and take it all in. What made the day truly exceptional was Miyu herself. She was kind, thoughtful, engaging, patient, and incredibly attentive. She answered every question with depth and clarity, anticipated what we needed before we asked, and made us feel like we were being shown Japan by a deeply knowledgeable friend. This was not just a tour. It was a powerful, beautiful, once in a lifetime experience. Miyu turned an already remarkable itinerary into something unforgettable. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are visiting Hiroshima and Miyajima, book this tour with Miyu immediately. She is absolutely outstanding.

I am deeply touched by your warm and heartfelt words. It is a great honor to know that you so deeply understood the message I always hope to share with those who visit Hiroshima. It was a pleasure for me as well to spend the day with such a wonderful family, and I truly enjoyed our time together. I hope you were able to get a good rest last night. I wish you all the best and hope you continue to enjoy your travels in Japan in good health and with many wonderful experiences.

Highlights of Hiroshima

A last minute cruise detour found us docking in Hiroshima. We were extremely lucky to find Miyouri available. We had an EXCEPTIONAL day touring both Miyajima and the Peace Park. The compassion, knowledge and ability to share her knowledge with us was beyond our expectations. She even brought along home made origami birds for us to leave at the Children’s memorial.

Thank you for your warm and kind words. I feel fortunate as well, because your cruise ship’s visit to Hiroshima gave me the chance to spend a wonderful day with you. I hope the memories of Hiroshima will stay with you forever.

Beauty & Peace

The Full-Day Hiroshima and Miyajima World Heritage Sites Tour offered a deeply moving and educational experience, made truly memorable by our guide, Miyu. The day began with a scenic journey to Miyajima Island, where the iconic floating torii gate and Itsukushima Shrine stood as breathtaking symbols of Japan’s cultural and spiritual heritage. Miyu’s knowledge of local history, traditions, and daily life added rich context to every stop, making the morning both engaging and insightful. After lunch, the tour shifted to Hiroshima, where the tone became more reflective. Visiting the Peace Memorial Park and Museum was an emotional experience that left a lasting impression. Miyu’s strength and sensitivity truly came through during this part of the day. She guided us through the exhibits and memorials with compassion and respect, helping us process the immense tragedy that unfolded there. Her thoughtful explanations and quiet empathy created space for reflection and understanding. As Americans, standing in the heart of Hiroshima brought feelings of sadness and shame, but also a profound sense of hope. Miyu’s guidance helped transform those emotions into a deeper appreciation for peace, resilience, and reconciliation. Her ability to balance historical truth with human compassion made this tour not only informative but transformative. This experience was far more than a sightseeing excursion—it was a journey through history, emotion, and humanity. Miyu’s professionalism, warmth, and emotional intelligence elevated the day beyond expectations. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a meaningful connection to Japan’s past and a renewed commitment to peace.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt and detailed review. I am deeply grateful that Hiroshima’s journey toward peace resonated with you so profoundly. Your words are the greatest compliment I could receive as a guide in Hiroshima, and I feel truly honored. Even though it was only a few days ago, I already look back fondly on the day I spent with you.
