About Tour Guide Keiko K.

Hello, welcome to my profile! I'm Keiko (Kay). As a national certified guide deeply passionate about the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of this area, I am eager to share these experiences with you. With over 16 years of experience living abroad, mostly in Europe, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in diverse cultures and meeting incredible people from around the world. I'm sociable, outgoing and love making new connections wherever I go.


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...)


Health and nutrition are important to me, as is the same to everyone, and I love exploring new ways to stay healthy and enjoy good food!


Our itinerary will take us through some of the most iconic landmarks, as well as a few hidden gems that only locals know about. Whether you’re interested in exploring ancient architecture, indulging in the local cuisine, or learning about the fascinating history that has shaped this place, I am here to tailor the tour to your interests.


Would I be a good fit for your company here in Hiroshima?


Warm regards,

Keiko(Kay)

Did It All!!!!

We’re a family of four with two adult sons, and Keiko was exceptional in every way. She was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtfully organized the day, helping us make the most of every moment during a very busy season. We covered a lot, which is exactly how our family loves to travel, while still having the flexibility to adapt, pause, and explore at our own pace. Keiko struck the perfect balance between efficiency and enjoyment, and thanks to her, we truly felt like we experienced it all.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review so soon. I truly appreciated every single word!! Above all, hiking all the way to the top of Mount Misen together with all of you is a wonderful memory for me. I believe it’s one of the best ways to fully enjoy Miyajima. I’m sure you will continue traveling to many places across Japan, and I hope you enjoy the unique charm of each region. Please also give my best regards to your friendly, very Canadian husband, and your two handsome boys!! Hugs, Kay
