About Tour Guide Azusa A.
Hello, my name is Azusa Arita. I'm a licensed tour guide in English. I think there is no big difference between what Japan is today and what you see about Japan in manga, except " Naruto." ( Sorry but Ninjya is no longer exist.) Japan is a two -faced society, a society of modern technology and that of tradition. That's why it seems mysterious and difficult to understand. Hiroshima is a good place to experience the both aspects of Japan. Do you know the darkness in which you 'll be a new person, or the special way you can gain the same amount of wisdom written in Buddhist scriptures at one time?
Let's go and find the answers to these mysteries in Hiroshima. I'll make sure you have a great time in this tour.

Dear Phoebe-san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind message. I had a great time meeting you all! You are a vibrant and caring family. I was surprised you are not tired after climbing a mountain for 6 hours each way. Please enjoy the nature of Japan! And I do wish you all the best and I enjoyed knowing you. Azusa
“Wonderful guide!”
We absolutely loved Azusa! Besides her detailed knowledge of the city and its history and the very interesting pieces of information she gave us, her wonderful sense of humor and general personality were highly appreciated by the group. This in addition of course to her very good English skills. Very highly recommended!

Dear Ziad-san, I appreciate your high evaluation and the lovely comment. That encourages me a lot. It was a great day for me too! I could sense that everyone in your group was comfortable traveling and deeply trusted you. The warm atmosphere of your group made me enjoy guiding them while telling silly jokes. Japanese people are always considered serious, but I hope visitors can see that we are more comical than they might think. Please come to Japan as many times as you like, because I want people in your country to know more about Japan! I wish you all good health. Azusa
“Great tour of Miyajima Island!”
Azusa guided my son and I on a day tour of Miyajima Island, and she was excellent. All the logistics were smooth and exactly as planned, and her detailed knowledge of the area allowed us to move from point to point efficiently. On Miyajima itself Azusa took exactly as much time for each attraction/observation that we desired. I highly recommend taking a day trip to Miyajima if you are in the Hiroshima area, and would recommend Azusa to anyone!

Dear Keith-san, I really appreciate the wonderful review. You both may be surprised to learn that Japanese summer is very humid. You may have been tired, moving from spot to spot under that hot weather. But you are very lucky to have visited Miyajima Island on the day of Itsukushima Shrine's special annual ritual. I think God's blessings were many times greater. And I was very impressed with the way you and your son cared for each other. May your trip to Japan be a long and memorable one for both of you. Good luck! Azusa
