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 Guide and Person”
We were very fortunate to have Miyu take us on our half day tour of Hiroshima. Miyu was very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and patient in showing us her Hiroshima. Her knowledge as a resident of Hiroshima, and her work with survivors of the atomic bomb blast gives her special insight into those two subjects which help to make the tour more interesting and educational. She was also very willing to tailor our tour to our specific requests. Miyu speaks excellent English and has a delightful personality. The time with her was well spent.
