About Tour Guide Kahori M.
Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed guide interpreter, and have just started working with GoWithGuide! I’m delighted to show people around this area. For the past almost 10 years, I have mainly guided foreign medical professionals around Hiroshima City and Miyajima, gaining a deep understanding of the effects of radiation and the support for A-bomb survivors.
Hiroshima is a city of rivers and the sea. Along the rivers Cherry trees line, and the calm Seto Inland Sea, dotted with islands, creates a stunning landscape. Also, the sea has many islands called "art islands" which have fantastic arts relating to the art festival "Setoushi Triennale". In addition to our two World Heritage Sites, this area is rich in attractive resources. I hope many of you will come and experience this fascinating land. Personally, I am very passionate about modern art and enjoy sports like stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) on our rivers.
I look forward to meeting you, interacting with you, and also, learning from you!

“100 of out 10! ”
We had a fantastic day with Ms. Kahori. My kids loved the tour and rated it "100 out of 10", "best tour we ever had" (and we have had many tours). In the morning, she showed us the wonderful sights of Miyajima Island. We didn't know much of the island except the Torii gate, but she showed us so much and we wholeheartedly loved it. For lunch, we had okonomiyaki. She even made a reservation for us at a local restaurant on the island, so we could sit down and order as soon as we arrived, which saved a lot of waiting time. In the afternoon, we went to the Peace museum. It was a dark part of our history, but important for us and the kids to see. However, there was also a bright side to it. During our train ride to the museum, she showed us how to make origami paper cranes, which was great fun for the kids, and perfectly timed, since subsequently the kids decided to dedicate their cranes at the monuments we visited. She was extremely friendly and patient, and great to be around!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly wonderful to spend time with such a lovely family like yours. The conversations with your children, as well as with both of you as parents and scientists, were very meaningful and precious to me. The earnest and lively expressions on your children's faces have become a treasure in my heart! Thank you!
“One-day Hiroshima”
Five Stars ***** Our family of five toured with Kahori on 12-28-24. We had a wonderful experience! She was very knowledgeable about Hiroshima and made the museums and day very interesting. Even though it was a very sad time, I'm so glad we did it. Then we went to lunch in someone's house where the women actually cooked for us. We then went to Miyajima Island by ferry for the afternoon. Don't forget to see the deer there. It was a lot of fun. We visited more temples there and finished out our day. I would highly recommend going on a tour with Kahori. She is first class and so is her tour!
