About Tour Guide Miyu F.
My name is Miyu. I have been a Nationally Licensed Guide Interpreter since 2009. I began my career as a tourist guide last year after working as a public servant for nearly four decades.
I worked in the Atomic Bomb Survivors Support Division for 12 years until I retired from the local government, and I continue to interact with Hibakusha. Therefore, I have a lot of knowledge about A-bomb survivors, the reconstruction of Hiroshima, and the effects of radiation on the human body, which I can correctly convey to inbound visitors.
I have experience in tea ceremonies and calligraphy and am especially good at guiding visitors through tea ceremony experiences.
I love to watch baseball games, so I enjoy talking about them with guests from countries where they are popular.
I am a volunteer medical interpreter and can respond to visitors' sudden health problems.

“Made our hald-day trip a perfection”
She showed full flexibility and good heart when we requested a last-minute change. She is truly knowledgeable about history/culture, and also good at groumet information. This is my first time to book a Japan tour through GoWithGuide, and it made me sure we can do more with our family trip likewise, for kid's education. This turned to be a successful case for us. Thanks to her advise, we successfully made our quickest way back to the hotel. She even advised on our visit to Atomic Bomb menorial park for the next day without her. This makes her value. I recommend Miyu because of her considerate planning and her charming personality. You never feel disappointed.

We had such a meaningful and memorable day in Hiroshima with Miyu. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the city with great care and sensitivity. Her explanations about Hiroshima’s history, culture, and local life added so much depth to our visit, and she always made sure the pace was comfortable for everyone. The tour was perfectly organized, and she ensured we were on time for every part of the day. We truly appreciated her kindness, her calm energy, and the personal touches she added throughout the tour. Thank you, Miyu, for a beautiful and unforgettable experience in Hiroshima. We highly recommend her!

“Excellent tour of Miyajima”
This was our first ever private tour and Miyu set the standard very high for others to meet! Miyu was prompt, efficient, easy to talk with and knew how to move us from A to B to C without us feeling rushed. She offered a wealth of knowledge about the various sites…and suggested good photo ops. She was exceedingly kind to extend her day when the ropeway had a long long line. We could have skipped if, but it was part of the itinerary and we are so glad we stuck with the plan despite the line. The views were excellent. Miyu is in great shape and walks fast which we appreciated. However, while we bogged down on the hills and the steps, she was able to keep her same speedy pace. She kindly adjusted her speed to ours which no doubt felt like pace of a snail. We learned so much about the shrines, temples, torii gates, etc all while absorbing the fine views. Miyu is very personable and her fine skills as a tour guide were greatly enjoyed and appreciated. I would recommend this tour with Miyu to everyone who would like to learn more about Miyajima. It was an excellent day! Thank you Miyu!! We so enjoyed meeting you! Sally & Frank

I sincerely appreciate your kind words. It’s a great honor and pleasure to know that you thoroughly enjoyed your visit to Miyajima. We were blessed with wonderful weather, and I was delighted to have been able to show you the Great Torii gate standing in the sea at high tide. I truly appreciate having spent the day with you both. You were so kind, calm, and full of humor, and it was a real pleasure to be your guide.

Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed guide interpreter, and have just started working with GoWithGuide! I’m delighted to show people around this area. For the past almost 10 years, I have mainly guided foreign medical professionals around Hiroshima City and Miyajima, gaining a deep understanding of the effects of radiation and the support for A-bomb survivors. Hiroshima is a city of rivers and the sea. Along the rivers Cherry trees line, and the calm Seto Inland Sea, dotted with islands, creates a stunning landscape. Also, the sea has many islands called "art islands" which have fantastic arts relating to the art festival "Setoushi Triennale". In addition to our two World Heritage Sites, this area is rich in attractive resources. I hope many of you will come and experience this fascinating land. Personally, I am very passionate about modern art and enjoy sports like stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) on our rivers. I look forward to meeting you, interacting with you, and also, learning from you!

I was born and raised in Hiroshima, and my love for this city led me to switch from nursing to guiding. As a guide, I specialize in Hiroshima city downtown, Miyajima, Futaba no Sato, Onomichi, and Tomo-no-Ura. I also introduce secret photo spots and hidden gems. Using my experience as a nurse, I prioritize meticulous care and bring my natural brightness, aiming to provide a guide experience that allows you to fully enjoy Hiroshima.
