I was born and raised in Hiroshima, and my love for this city led me to switch from nursing to guiding. As a guide, I specialize in Hiroshima city downtown, Miyajima, Futaba no Sato, Onomichi, and Tomo-no-Ura. I also introduce secret photo spots and hidden gems. Using my experience as a nurse, I prioritize meticulous care and bring my natural brightness, aiming to provide a guide experience that allows you to fully enjoy Hiroshima.

“Fantastic day with Rika”
A family of four - full day tour with Rika, who made the day very relevant and informative - Rika speaks excellent English… Rika customised the tour to match our wishes - a day above and beyond our expectations! Highly recommend

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review. I also had a truly enjoyable time with you all. I really appreciated your interest in learning about Hiroshima, and I’m grateful that you listened so attentively to my explanations at each place. It was a very hot day, but if the time we spent together was meaningful for you, that makes me very happy. I hope the rest of your time in Japan will be wonderful. And I’d be so glad if we have the chance to meet again someday! Rika

“On a hot summer day…”
Rika receives a five star review guiding my son and I through the beautiful sites of miyajima and a sobering visit to the Peace Museum and Dome area. An authentic Hiroshima lunch, trolly travel and stroll thru the shopping malls gave us a real feel for the city. Rika has a passion for her hometown and its history and is extremely knowledgeable and wishes to share that knowledge. Thank you Rika for giving us a very meaningful experience and certainly recommend you as a guide. Best wishes. Paul N

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly glad we could enjoy walking around Miyajima and the Peace Park together, even in the heat, and taking photos of birds. It warmed my heart to see such a lovely bond between you and your son. Thank you also for listening patiently to my explanations, even though my English wasn’t perfect. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, and I’d be happy if we could meet again someday. Rika
