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.

“Hiroshima and Miyu-the perfect duo ”
We spent an amazing day with Miyu in Hiroshima last Sunday. We recommend her as a Guide who is very informative and extremely knowledgeable and most of all she is so engaging and brings Hiroshima to life. Miyu had planned everything so carefully with a lot of thought. Miyu understands Hiroshima not only from living there for many years but also from working with survivors. We had many happy hours together. You would lucky to have Miyu as your Guide.

Thank you very much for your generous review. I appreciate you choosing Hiroshima as your destination. I hope many people will come to Hiroshima and join us in reflecting on world peace. It was a pleasure to enjoy the majestic scenery of Miyajima Island and the local food of Hiroshima with you. I wish you both happiness from Hiroshima.

“The Very Best Experience”
We consider ourselves extraordinarily lucky to have found Miyu to guide us through the Hiroshima experience. Miyu was firstly absolutely delightful and accommodating of our changing schedule. Most importantly there is little about the horrors of Hiroshima history that she does not know and having been brought up in Hiroshima and having worked for many many years with bomb victims, she communicated all this in a very personal and sensitive manner. It was an incredibly moving visit and we are quite sure that we would have left with a far lesser understandimg if not for Miyu's help. Thank you MIyu

Thank you for your heartwarming words. I look longingly at the photo we took together in front of the Japanese garden. It was a privilege to be able to take you to the huge bombed building that I consider the most important of all. May Hiroshima remain in your heart for a long time. I love the most delicious sweets in your country which your son gave me so much that I repeatedly buy it at the import store. Thank you.

“Best tour we’ve ever had ”
We did a 4.5hr tour with Miyu-san, and it was nothing short of incredible. We had limited time in Hiroshima and Miyu-san made every minute count, ensuring we got to visit all the sites we wanted to. She kindly met us at our hotel, took us to the museum (she had prearranged tickets), Peace memorial park, Dome, hypocentre, castle and garden, and helped us get to the station. Her local knowledge and experience working with survivors put movement and colour around the experience that we otherwise wouldn’t have got if we had gone self guided. She has many sad and beautiful stories to share, which illuminated our time beyond a ‘tourist’ visit into a real, meaningful and heartfelt experience. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your heart-warming comment. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to come to Hiroshima and see the reality of the atomic bombing. I recently registered with GoWithGuide and was pleasantly surprised to receive your booking the next day. I am thrilled that you are my first visitors. What a lovely picture of the carp you have taken. May your day in Hiroshima remain in your memory for a long time.
