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.

Harmony Jurney : Onigiri Making, Paper Crane Folding & Peace Memorial Park
“Amazing Tour Guide”
We had such a fantastic day with Rika! She took us to a beautiful little house on the island of Ninoshima where we learned how to make onigiri and fold origami cranes. She talked about her childhood growing up in Hiroshima and told us the story of Sadako and the thousand cranes. We spent the afternoon in Hiroshima touring places that were not the normal sites for tourists and she took us through the history of the bombing of Hiroshima and the process of healing and recovery that has taken place since. I highly recommend that everyone visit Hiroshima when traveling to Japan and book a tour with Rika. It was a very special day.
Rika F.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted to hear that you found the onigiri-making experience, the island house visit, the origami crane activity, and the time at the Peace Park meaningful. For me as well, the conversations we shared about peace and Hiroshima during the ferry rides and at the island house were both enjoyable and meaningful. It was truly an honor to meet you both in Hiroshima, a place I hold so dear. Please visit Hiroshima again—I’ll be waiting for you! Rika

“Fabulous Guide”
It was such a pleasure to be able to tour with Rika. From the moment we contacted her, and throughout the whole process, she maintained excellent communication. She arrived at our hotel very warm and welcoming. We didn’t have the best weather day initially so she changed plans to start inside and get local by making one of their famous okonomimura pancakes (a famous Hiroshima dish). We toured the Hiroshima memorial museum. During the tour she told us many stories of what happened to the people and also of survivors. She made you really feel close to what happened. After that we went to the peace park and honored the victims and also their families. It was beautiful and at that time the weather cleared. We also went to the atomic Dome. She also threw in some extra local little surprises that made the whole day very special. I would highly recommend her because you could tell she loved what she was doing, and wanted to share the stories in history of Hiroshima.

I’m truly grateful for your wonderful review, and I’m incredibly happy to hear your thoughts. Although the weather wasn’t ideal, I’m glad we could enjoy making okonomiyaki, one of Hiroshima’s most iconic dishes, together. Walking through the local shopping arcade and experiencing Hiroshima’s history at Peace Park were meaningful moments, and I’m thrilled that you could share them with me. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in this beautiful country, and I look forward to the chance of meeting you again someday. Rika

“Perfect experience”
Rika was a perfect guide. She is very fluent in English, very knowledgeable, and a very nice person. We enjoyed our time with her and highly recommend her.

I am truly delighted to receive such a wonderful review. I hope that your time in Hiroshima, even though it was limited to just one day, allowed you to get to know the city, enjoy it, and have a meaningful journey. Through our discussions at the museum, as well as our talks about Hiroshima’s history, world peace, and historical events, I was reminded of the importance of continuing to learn. I sincerely hope you will visit Hiroshima again, and I look forward to the day we can meet once more. Rika
