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 tour”
This tour was Excellent , very educational and at the same time heart breaking! Rika our guide is a retired nurse but certainly found her calling in being guide. Her knowledge and passion for Hiroshima is incredible and we all agreed that she is one of the best guides we have ever had! A huge Thank You to Rika for the great tour , great lunch ( Okonomiyaki )! We had fun taking the trains , ferry & Tram and she made sure we caught our shuttle back to the ship!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Your kind words truly lifted my spirits as a guide. I really enjoyed our time together. I mentioned so often how much I hope you’ll come back that by the end, you joked, “We know already!” Still, I do hope you’ll visit Hiroshima again—when the cherry blossoms bloom or the autumn leaves are at their best. I’ll be waiting with all my heart. Rika

“Yanai’s old town was a perfect day despite inclement weather.”
My wife and I felt very lucky and fortunate to have Rika navigate the train schedules and explain old Yanai and also the history around hiroshima. Her English is fluent and her nursing background shines through in her attention to her clients. Highly recommended. Daniel and Lesley Tokawa, North Vancouver, Canada.

Thank you for your warm message. Although I didn’t have extensive knowledge about Yanai, I feel truly grateful for the opportunity to guide you and for the chance to reflect on family connections and history. After lunch, the rain was unfortunate, but I hope that someday, on a rainy day in Canada, it will bring back memories of today. Thank you so much once again. Rika
