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.

“Miyajima and aHiroshima Peace park & Museum”
We highly recommend Kazumi M. and her tour. The experience was way above our expectations as was the guidance and service. Kazumi grew up in the region. This meant her knowledge and insights to the area and its history is extremely good. Her spoken english is first-class and so communication was easy. On top of this Kazumi is a very nice person and it was really lovely to spend the day with her. We wish Kazumi all the best.

“Heritage tour”
She’s a gem. We totally loved her. She took us to places we would have never been able to do ourselves. She Explained the history and highlights to Miyajima and Peace Park. Such a warm and special person in that 7 hours we spent together we felt we knew her for a lifetime.
Kazumi M.
Thank you for your great review! It’s more than my pleasure to show you around Hiroshima. You are both very friendly and good to talk with. I also learned a lot from you, too. Please let me know if you need help while you are in Japan. Hope to see you sometime soon in Hawaii! Kazumi
