“Hiroshima Peace Park”
Kate was an excellent guide. Her planned 4 hour itinerary was just right. She had volumes of knowledge and was open to any suggestions. She even took the time to teach us oldsters how to fold an Origami paper crane. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

“Exceptional guide for Hiroshima & Miyajima”
Kate was an exceptional guide and made our day in Hiroshima and Miyajima incredibly special. She had extensive knowledge of the history, culture and significance of the places we visited, and was always generous with her time and happy to answer all of our questions. She was warm, kind and welcoming from the moment we met her, and made the whole day feel very personal rather than like a standard tour. Our daughters especially loved that she showed them how to pray at the shrine and helped them have their fortunes read. Visiting the Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Museum was deeply moving, and Kate helped us understand the history with sensitivity and respect. What stayed with me most was not only the devastation, but the hope, resilience and commitment to peace that came through so strongly. We had an excellent day and would absolutely recommend Kate to anyone visiting Hiroshima and Miyajima. If we return to Hiroshima, we would love to see her again.

Emiko M.
Hi, I am Emiko, Hiroshima Prefectural Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I was born and raised in Hiroshima, and I love sharing the history, culture, and everyday life of this beautiful region with visitors from around the world. As the child of an A-bomb survivor, Hiroshima's history is deeply personal to me. I believe that sharing its story of tragedy, resilience, and hope for peace is at the heart of my guiding. In addition to Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Museum, I also enjoy introducing visitors to the beauty of Miyajima, Hiroshima Castle, Shukkein Garden, and other local treasures. I tailor each tour to your interests, whether history, culture, food, or daily life. I always hope that our guests will take away lots of positive energy from Hiroshima, a city that was resilient and revived like a phoenix, in spite of its sad history. While realizing customers' wishes, I will introduce you the beauty of Hiroshima, Miyajima and so on, which are tranquil and peaceful places with a unique charm that cannot be found in big cities. I am happy to answer any questions about things Japanese. I'll do everything to the best of my ability to make your trip enjoyable and fruitful. I look forward to welcoming you and making your visit truly memorable!

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)
