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.

“Wonderful tour experience in Hiroshima ”
Our group of 5 including my kids, age 8 and 14 arranged a day tour of Hiroshima with Miyu. We had a wonderful time. Miyu took us on a walking tour of Miyajima and explained all the sights and traditions in detail but simple enough for my kids to enjoy. We also walked around Peace Park where Miyu spent time on all the historic areas. Miyu was an excellent tour guide and would love to come back to Hiroshima.

Thank you so much for visiting Hiroshima with your children. I’m truly honored by your kind comments. I was very happy that your lovely children listened attentively to my stories as well.

“Fantastic day trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima Island with a great guide”
Our family travelled from Osaka to Hiroshima where Miyu greeted us at the train station. Miyu gave us a great tour of the museum and surroundings related to the atomic bombing. She is well articulated and extremely knowledgeable. She chose a wonderful sushi restaurant in Hiroshima for us to have lunch prior to go and board ferry for a short ride to Miyajima. The combination of Hiroshima and Miyajima makes it a perfect day trip, combining history/culture with beautiful scenery. We highly recommend Miyu! Marc, Montreal, Canada.

“Exceptional Guide!! ”
We had an amazing day in Hiroshima with our guide, Miyu. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She explained the history of the Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park in a very thoughtful and respectful way, helping us understand the stories behind every place we visited. Miyu also took us through the beautiful gardens and different spots around Hiroshima, sharing local insights and answering all our questions with a smile. She made the whole experience meaningful, emotional, and unforgettable. We felt very comfortable with her the entire time, and we learned so much. Thank you, Miyu, for giving us such a wonderful and insightful tour. We truly appreciate your warmth and professionalism. Highly recommended!
