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.

“Very enthusiast and friendly guide. Fluent english ”
The tour with Rika was very interesting and the bomb memorial was emotional. She is very enthusiast about her city. Very friendly and funny. This combined with excellent english made our day. At the end of the tour Rika took the time to have diner with us and taste the local dish Okonomiyaki. We highly recommend Rika for your Hiroshima visit.

“Hiroshima shore excursion 9:30 am - 8:00 pm”
Lica was first rate, one of the best guides that we’ve ever had. We went first to the Itsukushima Shrine with its floating red gate, Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle and several other fabulous attractions ending in the most interesting detail of all, a special and most delicious Japanese dinner called OKONOMIYAKI. Lica taught us how to eat it the Hiroshima way. Dianne and Ramsey.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I imagine you may have been a little tired from the walking, but I’m truly glad to hear you enjoyed yourself. I’m especially happy to know you liked the okonomiyaki too. I also had a great time talking with you. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Rika
