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.
I can work on days when I don't have other reservations.

I’m truly, truly grateful for the wonderful review you left me. It was such a pleasure to explore Hiroshima with both of you today. Although it was a bit of a quick visit, I hope it turned out to be a meaningful one for you. Hiroshima is a beautiful city, full of life, with a remarkable story of recovery—thanks to the efforts of its people and local businesses. Thank you so much for visiting my beloved hometown and for joining my tour. It really meant a lot to me! Rika

“The nicest guide in Hiroshima and probably Japan. ”
We always choose guides with great reviews, but Rika truly went above and beyond even our highest expectations. From the moment we met her, her warmth, enthusiasm, and professionalism made us feel completely at ease. Her English was excellent — clear, fluent, and full of personality — which made it so easy for our family of six (with “kids” in their 20s!) to connect with her and the stories she shared. Rika’s deep knowledge of Hiroshima’s history and culture was remarkable, but what stood out even more was how sensitively and thoughtfully she told those stories. She made a complex, emotional history come alive in a way that was informative, moving, and deeply human. Beyond her expertise, Rika is simply a lovely person — kind, engaging, and genuinely interested in making sure everyone had a meaningful experience. Every member of our family came away saying how much they enjoyed the day and how much they’d learned. If you’re visiting Hiroshima, don’t hesitate for a moment — book a tour with Rika. She’s not just a guide; she’s the kind of person who makes a great trip truly unforgettable.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It truly touched my heart—I was almost moved to tears. Spending time with you, your lovely family, and your friends (all six of you) was such a joyful and memorable experience. Everyone was so cheerful and kind, and you all warmed my heart. There are still many places in Hiroshima worth visiting, so I hope you’ll come back again someday. I’m really looking forward to the day we meet again. Rika

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Although our time together in Hiroshima was short, it was truly meaningful for me as well. I’m glad you were able to find the kitchen knife you were looking for, and I hope your son-in-law will be pleased with it! I hope you’ll visit Hiroshima again someday and I’d be so happy if we could meet again one day! Rika
