About Tour Guide Hugh C.

Hi!

Thanks for reviewing my profile.

I am Australian, from Sydney originally but my life with Japan and its culture and history spans 30 odd years and I have been a Hiroshima resident for 18 of those 30 years.

I joined GoWithGuide just recently but be assured I have led many tours in Hiroshima and more widely throughout metropolitan and regional Japan, sharing conversations about the unique society, its fascinating culture and history. I also have written several tourism blogs for inbound tour companies and also the Hiroshima Prefectural Tourism Bureau.

I speak fluent Japanese and I have immersed myself in the experience of living here in modern and traditional culture and spent many years studying martial arts Aikido and Iaido. I also have a strong interest in Buddhist teachings. My Japanese calligraphy work over the years has been received recognition and several awards and commissions both in Japan and elsewhere.

I'm looking forward to spending a great experience sharing the culture and history of Hiroshima with you.

Naoshima wouldn’t have worked without Hugh

Naoshima is an amazing place. Each member of the family found many things to love. However it took the amazing efforts of our guide Hugh to properly book each location with appropriate timings and routes between. It would have been impossible to do it on our own. Hugh has deep knowledge of the art and Japan. His unique perspective and background as a schoolteacher kept our teens engaged with the experience. I can imagine there are other good guides out there but probably none better than Hugh to make the island really come alive.

Hiroshima tour

Hugh is fabulous as a tour guide in Hiroshima. He picked us up in a car and drove us all around the city. It made things so smooth and easy to get to the sites we wanted to visit. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and the events that happen there 80 years ago. We had a great time with him. He took us to a fabulous restaurant. It was so much fun and so delicious. I highly recommend Hugh as a tour guide for Hiroshima. His knowledge of the subject is incredible. He was very detailed in his storytelling and took us to all the important places relating to world War II. We had a great day. He's your guy for Hiroshima.
