About Tour Guide Rika F.
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.

“A memorable visit to Hiroshima ”
We spent half a day with Rika in Hiroshima. It was very memorable and educational. She's a very lively and engaging guide who knows history and off the beaten path places. She also brought us to a local place for lunch, which was both tasty and entertaining. We couldn't be happier with her tour!

Thank you very much for your lovely review. Although it was only a half-day tour, I’m truly happy that both families showed interest in Hiroshima’s history and recovery, and that we had the chance to talk about so many things together. I still have a lot to learn myself, and I continue to hope for peace in the world. I sincerely hope to see you all again someday. Thank you so much to both families for joining the tour. Rika

“Amazing Day In Hiroshima City”
We had the absolute pleasure of having Rika as our tour guide in Hiroshima, and she was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we met her, Rika’s warmth and kindness made us feel completely at ease. She was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing the city’s rich and complex history with thoughtfulness, clarity, and deep respect. making the tour meaningful and memorable. Beyond her expertise, Rika was also wonderfully accommodating—always attentive to our needs, patient with our questions, and flexible with our pace. She went out of her way to ensure we had the best possible experience, and her genuine enthusiasm for her city was infectious. Spending the day with her felt like exploring Hiroshima with a trusted friend. We cannot recommend Rika highly enough. If you have the opportunity to tour Hiroshima with her, don’t hesitate—you’ll be in the very best hands. Thank you again Rika!

I truly appreciate your wonderful review. Spending the day with you two was such a joyful and enriching experience for me as well. I was very happy not only to talk about Hiroshima, but also to hear more about you—that’s always something I really enjoy. As a guide, it brings me great joy to meet people from around the world, have meaningful conversations, and share the city I love—Hiroshima. I hope you will remember Hiroshima, and maybe even a little about me too! I truly hope we have the chance to meet again someday. Rika

“Wonderful experience and amazing guide”
Rika was such a wonderful person. She was so accommodating with my requests during the planning yet flexible on the day with my daughter with physical disabilities. We saw a lot of lovely sights on Miyajima island and had beautiful heart felt moments at the Peace Park. A highlight was making paper cranes with Rika and leaving them at the monument. Rika has very good English which very helpful as we don’t speak Japanese. She was perfect for our family of 4 adults. Thankyou Rika for a wonderful day.

I was truly touched to receive such a wonderful review. I know my guiding and English may not have been perfect, but your kind words mean a lot to me. I’m also very happy that we were able to share the experience of folding paper cranes together. Hiroshima has a tragic history, but it is also a beautiful city filled with hope and strength. If I was able to help make your time here even a little more meaningful, that makes me truly happy. Rika
