About Tour Guide Hugh C.
Hi!
Thanks for reviewing my profile.
I am Australian, from Sydney originally but my life with Japan and its culture and history spans 30 odd years and I have been a Hiroshima resident for 18 of those 30 years.
I joined GoWithGuide just recently but be assured I have led many tours in Hiroshima and more widely throughout metropolitan and regional Japan, sharing conversations about the unique society, its fascinating culture and history. I also have written several tourism blogs for inbound tour companies and also the Hiroshima Prefectural Tourism Bureau.
I speak fluent Japanese and I have immersed myself in the experience of living here in modern and traditional culture and spent many years studying martial arts Aikido and Iaido. I also have a strong interest in Buddhist teachings. My Japanese calligraphy work over the years has been received recognition and several awards and commissions both in Japan and elsewhere.
I'm looking forward to spending a great experience sharing the culture and history of Hiroshima with you.

“Amazing experience ”
We had an amazing experience with the guidance of Hugh during our full day tour in Hiroshima. His knowledge and perfect English made the difference during our journey, plus the perfect coordination and timing to have us back on time to our cruise ships. Lunch was extraordinary at a hidden gem local eatery, where we had a local Okonomiyaki meal, rich in flavor and cooked in front of us. We recommend anyone interested in a real tour guide and friendly approach in this beautiful destination to contact Hugh. Thanks Arigato gosaimasu
