About Tour Guide Kahori M.
Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed tour guide, and have just started working with GoWithGuide! I’m delighted to show people around this area. For the past almost 10 years, I have mainly guided foreign medical professionals around Hiroshima City and Miyajima, gaining a deep understanding of the effects of radiation and the support for A-bomb survivors.
Hiroshima is a city of rivers and the sea. Along the rivers Cherry trees line, and the calm Seto Inland Sea, dotted with islands, creates a stunning landscape. Also, the sea has many islands called "art islands" which have fantastic arts relating to the art festival "Setoushi Triennale". In addition to our two World Heritage Sites, this area is rich in attractive resources. I hope many of you will come and experience this fascinating land. Personally, I am very passionate about modern art and enjoy sports like stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) on our rivers.
I look forward to meeting you, interacting with you, and also, learning from you!

“One-day Hiroshima”
Five Stars ***** Our family of five toured with Kahori on 12-28-24. We had a wonderful experience! She was very knowledgeable about Hiroshima and made the museums and day very interesting. Even though it was a very sad time, I'm so glad we did it. Then we went to lunch in someone's house where the women actually cooked for us. We then went to Miyajima Island by ferry for the afternoon. Don't forget to see the deer there. It was a lot of fun. We visited more temples there and finished out our day. I would highly recommend going on a tour with Kahori. She is first class and so is her tour!
