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

A fuller picture and understanding of Hiroshima as a city than you would get on your own

Our group of four women visited the Peace Museum on our own and met Miyu-san afterward. The Peace Museum is a powerful place and walking through it is a very personal experience. The afternoon with Miyu-san afterward provided us with a fuller picture of Hiroshima residents before the war and after the bombing. After a leisurely but emotionally moving walk through the Peace Park, we walked through side streets, read plaques and learned their significance. We made a short trip to Hiroshima Castle but instead of touring interior opted to visit Mitaki-dera, a tranquil Buddhist Temple with three waterfalls. A perfect soul-filling experience to round out our day in Hiroshima. Miyu-san planned an excellent experience.

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. I truly admire the care and sincerity with which you visited the Peace Memorial Museum and engaged with Hiroshima’s history. I’m happy you enjoyed the peaceful walk at Mitaki-dera. It was a joy for me to spend two days with four wonderful women. I hope you made it home safely, and I hope to welcome you back to Japan and Hiroshima again someday.

Informative, enjoyable, and efficient afternoon

Miyu-san welcomed us warmly and led us through an afternoon with efficiently planned transportation, just the right amount of walking, informative stops along the way, and plenty of photo opportunities. We saw aspects of Itsukishima Shrine that we would have missed on our own and was grateful for the time spent at Daishoin Temple.

Thank you very much for your detailed review. It was a pleasure spending half a day with you on beautiful, sacred Miyajima in such lovely weather. I hope the memories from your last stop in Japan will remain in your heart forever.

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. Please do come back to Hiroshima again. There are many beautiful and scenic places here, and I would be delighted to guide you again.
