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.

Truly amazing day with Kuzumi, Go with Guide tour!

We had such an eventful and memorable day with Kuzumi on our Hiroshima World Heritage tour with GoWithGuide. From start to finish, everything was wonderfully organized, interesting, and enjoyable. A highlight was visiting beautiful Miyajima Island and exploring Daisho-in, a historic Shingon temple nestled at the base of Mt. Misen. It was absolutely spectacular — peaceful, filled with hundreds of statues and prayer wheels, and much less crowded than many of the larger tourist sites. Kuzumi shared so much history and cultural insight that we would never have appreciated on our own. Seeing the famous floating Torii Gate and visiting Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was unforgettable. The scenery was stunning and Kuzumi paced the day perfectly. Lunch was another fantastic experience. We enjoyed Hiroshima’s famous soul food — okonomiyaki — at a wonderful local eatery. The combination of cabbage, bean sprouts, pork, egg, and noodles layered on the thin crepe-like batter was absolutely delicious. The historical portion of the tour was deeply moving and incredibly meaningful. In the Peace Park, Kuzumi carefully guided us through the history of Hiroshima and the first atomic bomb used in human history. Visiting the hypocenter, the Atomic Bomb Dome, the monuments, and the museum gave us a far deeper understanding of the tragedy, resilience, and hope that define Hiroshima today. Kuzumi explained everything with knowledge, sensitivity, and compassion. Kuzumi was knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and spoke excellent English. We truly felt we experienced both the famous highlights and the deeper cultural and historical side of Hiroshima and Miyajima. Highly recommended!

Thank you very much for your fantastic review. It was a very nice to meeting with you both. I appreciated that you explained my tours details and gave a good compliment which made me so grateful. I also had a wonderful time with a conversation with you and your husband. I hope you have a great moment at each place with local guides. Please send my best regards to your husband. Thank you Kazumi

Hiroshima History with Kazumi

Kazumi was amazing! One of the best tour guides we've had while sailing on a Viking Ocean Cruise ship. She was very informative at all of our sites and was able to answer most questions. We spent a lot of time at the Peace Museum where she had more information than was given at certain points. We saw the big Torii gate in the sea. We weren[t able to visit the Itsukushima shrine becase of time constraints. She introduced us to Okonomiyaki (hiroshima soul food, layered pancake) for lunch. It was very good and quite an experience watching the counter workers chop up the veggies and egg in front of the customers. She speaks English very well and had been very thoughtful throughout the tour. I highly recommend!
