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.

“Hiroshima with Miyu”
My time in Hiroshima will forever remain unforgettable, thanks to Miyu — a tour guide who embodies competence, honesty, and passion. She went above and beyond to ensure that the purpose of my visit was not only achieved but fulfilled in a deeply meaningful way. Thank you, Miyu, for being the best among the best in Hiroshima. Without a doubt, I will be using your services again in the near future. @libertypeople24

“Miyu is Amazing!”
We had such a wonderful time at Miyajima Island with Miyu! She was on time and met us at our air b&b as stated in the guide itinerary. She is very knowledgeable about Hiroshima and Miyajima Island and truly made our day special and more interesting with her knowledge. She also found an amazing gluten free restaurant for lunch as I have an allergy, which took the stress out of us trying to figure out a place to eat. She listened to our prefernces and we adjusted most important as the day went on and we were running out of time (not bc of her, but bc we were lagging and lunch took longer). I highly recommend her for your tour and we are so thankful we had her to help us navigate our day in Miyajima. We loved Miyu and you should book her!

Thank you for your detailed and heartwarming review. Despite occasional heavy rain today, it was wonderful to see the 360-degree panoramic view from the summit of Mt. Misen. Spending the day with your adorable children made me happy. Please continue to enjoy your journey ahead.

“Incredible Experience ”
Our trip was perfect! She greeted us in the lobby of our hotel right on time and guided us on a train ride to the ferry station. She told us about herself and provided background on the area. She’s so knowledgeable and kind. Thank you, Miyu for making our trip to Miyajima Island so memorable.

Thank you for your kind comment. We were lucky with the weather and had a pleasant morning stroll around Miyajima. I hope you enjoyed watching a baseball game in Tokyo as well. Wishing you many wonderful memories during your time in Japan!

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.

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!
