About Tour Guide Rika F.
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.

“A Meaningful and Personal Hiroshima Experience with Rika”
We were two couples visiting Hiroshima for one day. We arrived by cruise ship and took a taxi to the first metro station, where Rika was waiting for us. With her, we experienced Hiroshima in a different and more personal way than a standard cruise excursion. This was exactly what we liked very much. The weather was not perfect and we had some rain during the day, but Rika organized the route very well and adapted everything smoothly. She has excellent knowledge about Hiroshima, its history and its meaning, which added a lot of value to our visit. During a coffee break, she also taught us how to fold paper cranes in memory of Sadako, which was a very touching and special moment for us. Rika was kind, well prepared, organized and very attentive throughout the day. She helped us understand Hiroshima not only as a historical place, but also as a city with deep emotion, memory and culture. We ended the day beautifully with her choice of a local restaurant, where we tried Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. It was a perfect and authentic finish to our visit. We had a great time with Rika. She was not only a very good guide, but also a very pleasant person to spend the day with. She made our Hiroshima visit feel personal, meaningful and memorable. We would warmly recommend her to anyone visiting Hiroshima..

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy that day, spending time with the four of you was truly enjoyable for me as well. I’m very happy to know that your time in Hiroshima was meaningful and memorable. I still remember us laughing together while enjoying the okonomiyaki, along with the warm atmosphere of the restaurant itself. I hope those moments will remain as special memories for all of you. Thank you as well for the delicious chocolates, they were wonderful! I was also very happy to learn more about your country through our conversations. Meeting people from different backgrounds is one of the things I truly love about being a guide. Please come visit Japan and Hiroshima again someday. I sincerely hope we will meet again in the future. Rika

“Memories of Hiroshima with Rika”
We had a wonderful day with Rika, who took us to some amazing and moving places away from the rest of the crowd. I highly recommend a tour with her with her local insights.

Keiko K.
Hello, welcome to my profile! I'm Keiko (Kay). As a national certified guide deeply passionate about the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of this area, I am eager to share these experiences with you. With over 16 years of experience living abroad, mostly in Europe, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in diverse cultures and meeting incredible people from around the world. I'm sociable, outgoing and love making new connections wherever I go. I'm also very active, enjoying sports like badminton, biking, jogging, and dancing, especially zumba and salsa. On top of that, I've been playing the piano for over *xx years, a passion that brings balance to my life. (The reason XX is simply because I hesitate to disclose my age...) Health and nutrition are important to me, as is the same to everyone, and I love exploring new ways to stay healthy and enjoy good food! Our itinerary will take us through some of the most iconic landmarks, as well as a few hidden gems that only locals know about. Whether you’re interested in exploring ancient architecture, indulging in the local cuisine, or learning about the fascinating history that has shaped this place, I am here to tailor the tour to your interests. Would I be a good fit for your company here in Hiroshima? Warm regards, Keiko(Kay)

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.

Naomi K.
Hello, I’m Naomi, a guide, a rice farmer and a mom of three. I live in the peaceful countryside of Hiroshima. Our family resides in a 200-year-old traditional farmhouse, surrounded by nature and history. I began learning English again at the age of 40, and although I don’t have much overseas experience, guiding visitors has become one of my greatest joys. Sharing Japan through my own eyes makes every encounter exciting and meaningful. I love welcoming people and building connections across cultures. If my hospitality can add a special touch to your journey in Japan, it would bring me great happiness. I look forward to meeting you—thank you!
