Miyajima is an island of gods in the Seto Inland Sea. Vermilion painted torii gate and Itsukushima Shrine, which was built in shallow water in front of the island in the Middle Ages look like they are floating on the sea. Let's think together why this island is the island of gods and why a shrine was built here. After visiting Miyajima, we will visit Hiroshima Peace Memorial Genbaku (Atomic Bomb) Dome that remained at the epicenter.

Hi!
I had been working for Wakayama Prefectural Government for 38 years, mainly in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am a national certificated English guide and I have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations.
I am very good at cultural heritages.
And Koyasan and Kumano in Wakayama Prefecture are inscribed in the World Heritage List as parts of “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range". I was a project manager of "the Koyasan and Kumano World Heritage Inscription Project” at Wakayama Prefectural Government. I know inside and out of Koyasan, Kumano, Wakayama and other places in the Kansai area.
I have a lot of experience of guiding as I was also in charge of international relations for a long time at the government.
I will be able to provide interpretive guiding service for you around Koyasan, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka and other places as I was a cultural heritage management and international relations professional.
I am sure you will be able to get deeper understandings on Japanese culture and that your trip with me will be memorable one.
If you need a good guide in the Tokyo area, I have a friend on GoWithGuide I can recommend you!

“True story of family reunion”
I can hardly express the depth of my gratitude to Hiroyuki. What began as a simple your turned into a life-changing experience for my family. We brought fragments of information about our ancestral history, and he knew exactly the steps to take to discover information. Without giving too much detail, he brought my elderly parent together with their long-lost cousin, and then patiently served as an interpreter for them to communicate. This was a defining moment for my parent and they were in tears. This would not have been possible without Hiroyuki. Thank you so, so much. I can't recommend him enough.

“Osaka Hidden Gem”
This was another memorable day tour with Hiroyuki, and my sister and I had a great time exploring different parts of Osaka. In keeping with his story-telling style, Mr Hiro shared his knowledge of the city, its architecture and its history, adding to the richness of the tour experience. My sister walks with a cane and Mr Hiro took extra care with her while we were navigating through subways and train stations, and along garden paths and old city streets. Thank you for your kindness and patience. We can’t wait to return for more tours with Hiroyuki.
Hiroyuki T.
Yes, same here! I cannot wait to see you again. See you again next year! Hiro
