I'm also very active, enjoying sports like badminton, biking, jogging, and dancing, especially zumba and salsa. On top of that, I've been playing the piano for over *xx years, a passion that brings balance to my life. (The reason XX is simply because I hesitate to disclose my age...)

Keiko K.
Both of you must have been very busy, returning to work right after coming back from Japan. I truly appreciate you taking the time to write a kind review. Climbing all the way to the top of Mt. Misen and having such an open and honest exchange of views at the Peace Memorial Park are wonderful memories for me. Your great intelligence and insight inspired me a lot. Warm regards, Keiko(Kay)

“Wonderful Hiroshima Tour with Keiko-san!”
Keiko was truly amazing! She was warm, kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the day. She shared so much meaningful history and insight, and she answered all of our questions with care and we had many! She made the experience feel personal, comfortable, and memorable. We truly enjoyed spending the day with her and would happily recommend her services to anyone visiting Hiroshima. ️
Keiko K.
Thank you so much for your warm review. I truly had a wonderful time with you—it felt like I was spending the day with my own son and daughters! I really hope more thoughtful young people like you will visit Hiroshima, experience it firsthand, and share what you feel with the world. Next time we meet, I hope I’ll still be in great shape and able to keep up with you! Thank you again. All the best, Kay

“Ein sehr schöner Tag in Hiroshima mit Keiko”
Was für ein schöner und sehr informativer Tag in Hiroshima mit Keiko. Der Ausflug wurde in deutscher Sprache durchgeführt und wir können Keiko wirklich sehr empfehlen. Sie hat sehr ausführlich und interessant alles beschrieben und erklärt.Besser hätte unserer Tag in Hiroshima nicht sein können. Vielen Dank dafür.
Keiko K.
Heute hat es mir viel Spaß gemacht, den Tag mit Ihnen zu verbringen. Ich war etwas nervös, weil ich lange kein Deutsch gesprochen habe, aber danke für Ihr Verständnis für meine Aussprache! Ich werde mein „ö“ weiter üben, haha. Wie hat Ihnen eigentlich der Erdbeer-Montblanc geschmeckt? Ich vermisse manchmal deutsche Kuchen wie Donauwelle und Rhabarberkuchen. Kommen Sie gerne wieder nach Hiroshima – beim nächsten Mal zeige ich Ihnen die Sake-Brauereien! Liebe Grüße, Keiko
