About Tour Guide Kazumi M.
Hi everyone.
I'm Kazumi. I am a qualified tour guide.I have been guiding Hiroshima since 2010.
Through guiding Hiroshima, I can give my guests my knowledge of this area and Japanese culture. At the same time, I can learn their understanding of Japan and the differences between our culture and theirs, which is very interesting. I also believe that meeting with local people is the best way to know the area. I was born and grew up in Hiroshima. I am very happy to give you wonderful time and memories in Hiroshima. I am really looking forward to hearing from you.

“A must see to remind us all of the horrors of war”
The tour was very insightful and full of personal perspective. Kazumi San was well informed, articulate and happy to explore not just the details of the absolutely awful devastation on innocent civilians but also its impacts on the Japanese psyche and their attitudes to war and peace. It was one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the trip and Kazumi San was a wonderful guide.

Thank you for choosing my tour and giving me a great review, Srini. It was the day before the Memorial Day so the Park was busy with lots of organization and preparation for the Memorial ceremony. I appreciated that you could feel the importance of visiting here and see what really happened here. I also really enjoyed conversation with you all. Especially, Dorking and Sanctuary. Please send my best regards to your family. Hope you have a great time in Japan. Thank you again. Kazumi

“Memorable day in Hiroshima”
We had a nice day with Kazumi on our trip to Hiroshima. Right from the time we made our reservation to the time we met her in person, she responded to all our questions. We did not even feel we were talking to an unknown person, she made it very comfortable for our family. She is so patient and nice. Visiting Hiroshima is an experience that will always be close to our hearts. Thank you Kazumi.
Kazumi M.
Thank you for your great review. I am glad that you enjoyed the day here and safe back to your place. Showing you around is not only sharing my knowledge but I could also learn a lot from you, too, which I really appreciated. Please let me know if you come back to Japan again. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Please send my best regards to your family. Thank you Kazumi

“Lovely Day out in Miyajima”
We spent half a day with Kazumi at Miyajima and she was a fantastic host. We met her at the train station in Hiroshima, where she waited for us with a sign (super easy to find). Then an easy JR train and ferry to the island, where she showed us around the sites (see her tour listing). Her English is exceptional (not surprising as she lived in the UK for several years) and she is very knowledgable about the island sites. She wad full of interesting facts about the island and gave us plenty of time to see what we wanted to see. After a great lunch (which she recommended), we waved her off. Overall, a brilliant day and a great host. Thanks Kazumi!
Kazumi M.
Thank you for your lovely review, Andy. I hope that you could see a beautiful sunset and sunrise over Torii gate in the next morning. It was nice meeting with you two. You reminded me a beautiful English countryside. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan. Please say thank you to Katie, too. Thank you again Kazumi
