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.

Thank you for your generous review. Miyajima was extremely crowded, but I’m relieved to hear that you enjoyed your visit. I hope you have a great time in Hiroshima tomorrow as well and create many wonderful travel memories.

“Awesome Tour ”
We had the most amazing day with Miyu. Despite the rain the day was perfect. She was so kind and knowledgeable, able to keep us ahead of the crowds. We loved seeing Miyajima and the Hiroshima sites. We never felt rushed and she did an amazing job at temples explaining everything to us. Highly recommend this guide and tour ! We hope to be back here again someday.

Thank you for your kind and heartwarming words. We were fortunate to explore Miyajima before the rain became heavier. I truly appreciate your attentive interest in the stories and history of Hiroshima. I hope you will visit Hiroshima again. On that occasion, I would be delighted to show you the many other charms of Hiroshima. I truly hope to see you again and look forward to meeting you in the future.

“An Unforgettable Day in Miyajima with Miyu”
Our day in Miyajima with Miyu was absolutely wonderful and became one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. She was so kind, patient, and attentive from beginning to end, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Her English is excellent, which made everything easy and enjoyable. Miyu shared fascinating stories and explanations throughout the day, and she made the island feel truly special. One of the best things she did was encourage us to hike up Mount Misen. she inspired us to climb for almost two hours, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our entire trip. You should go up this way hearing the noise of the river during the hike!!!.The views from the top were breathtaking, and we are so grateful she encouraged us to do it. She also guided us around the most beautiful parts of Miyajima, including the famous floating torii and peaceful corners of the island that we would never have found on our own. What made the day even more memorable was the food she introduced us to. She made sure we tried the very best local specialties: delicious grilled oysters, fried oysters, and conger eel, which was completely different from unagi and absolutely delicious. Miyu is such a sweet, energetic, and caring person. She made us feel like we were exploring Miyajima with a close friend, and we will always remember this wonderful day with her.

I’m very glad that the rain we were concerned about held off and that we were blessed with good weather, allowing us to fully enjoy the magnificent view from the summit. It was quite a challenging climb, but I’m happy we reached the top safely with smiles. Spending the whole day on Miyajima also allowed us to see the two different faces of the Grand Torii, which made the experience even more special. I truly had a wonderful time as well. I will always remember the two days I spent with you.
