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.

“Hiroshima with our guide Rika”
We had the most revealing day learning all about Hiroshima with our lovely guide Rika. She was able to bring to life the horrors of that day but still show us the beauty and resilience of a city and its people. Her itinerary was well planned and she took us to a fantastic local place for lunch that was fun and delicious. Thank you again Rika for a very memorable day.

“Hiroshima with Rika”
This was our first time to use Go with Guide service. We had the most wonderful day with Rika and I would absolutely recommend her as your guide. Her warmth, spontaneity, kindness and great knowledge makes her a fabulous guide, able to share with her group in a most empathetic way. She was so attentive to all our needs and requests and has surely left us with wonderful Memories of Hiroshima. Thank you so much Rika - you gave us so much more than a historical tour.

Thank you so much for your beautiful message. It truly means a lot to me. Spending the day with you all was such a joy for me as well. I felt a wonderful connection with all of you, and I really enjoyed sharing the history and spirit of Hiroshima together. Hearing that the tour gave you more than just historical information makes me especially happy. For me, guiding is about sharing stories, feelings, and human connections, and I’m grateful we could experience that together. Thank you again for your kindness. I sincerely hope our paths cross again someday. Rika

Rabbit Island
Rabbit Island is home to hundreds of friendly bunnies who approach tourists for food. Once this island was secluded as a secret base of the Imperial Japanese Army to produce lethal gas during WW II. And because of the poison gas development, it is thought that the test subjects included rabbits. After the war, the island restored peace and got well overrun by bunnies to become a Heaven of rabbits. Please enjoy being mobbed by adorable creatures and the beautiful nature there.
