About Tour Guide Takuma K.
Hi! Do you want to explore the real Japanese town where most tourists never get to see?
Of course, I can guide you through famous places like the Peace Park and Miyajima. But my favorite experience is taking people to a hidden local town just 10 minutes from Hiroshima Station — a place where samurai once stayed, where everyday Japanese life still quietly exists, and where you might even naturally meet and talk with local Japanese people.
I’ve lived in this town for more than 20 years, so I accidentally became a local Hiroshima expert xD Because I actually run these tours regularly, I know how to create experiences that feel personal, authentic, and memorable — not just another sightseeing checklist.
Many guests tell me the tour became one of the most meaningful parts of their trip to Japan.
If you want more than “tourist Japan,” I’d love to show you the real one.

A local night you couldn’t access alone
What happens after the sightseeing ends? Join me for a local night in Kaitaichi, just 10 minutes from Hiroshima Station. We’ll explore hidden streets, try local food, visit fun local spots, and complete small missions along the way. Less sightseeing, more discovering — a chance to experience the kind of evening that’s hard to find alone.

Hi everyone. I'm Kazumi. I am a qualified tour guide.I have been guiding Hiroshima since 2010. Through guiding Hiroshima, I can give my guests my knowledge of this area and Japanese culture.

I also believe that meeting with local people is the best way to know the area. I was born and grew up in Hiroshima. I am very happy to give you wonderful time and memories in Hiroshima.
