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.

“Outstanding Tour with Rika!”
We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Rika to Hiroshima and Miyajima. Leading up to the tour, she was excellent communicating with me regarding our day and our preferences. On the day of our tour, she met us at the train station and then we proceeded first to Miyajima. We were able to see some beautiful locations around the island and then shop and have some treats. It was wonderful having Rika to help with transportation, and translate and converse with shop owners and explain to us the food offerings. We then went to Honkawa Elementary School Peace Museum which was a truly unforgettable experience, and then continued on to Hiroshima Peace Park. Rika is an incredible guide and an absolute treasure. My family and children loved her and were engaged the entire time. We hope to return to Hiroshima someday and tour with Rika again!

“Hiroshima tour”
This tour was Excellent , very educational and at the same time heart breaking! Rika our guide is a retired nurse but certainly found her calling in being guide. Her knowledge and passion for Hiroshima is incredible and we all agreed that she is one of the best guides we have ever had! A huge Thank You to Rika for the great tour , great lunch ( Okonomiyaki )! We had fun taking the trains , ferry & Tram and she made sure we caught our shuttle back to the ship!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Your kind words truly lifted my spirits as a guide. I really enjoyed our time together. I mentioned so often how much I hope you’ll come back that by the end, you joked, “We know already!” Still, I do hope you’ll visit Hiroshima again—when the cherry blossoms bloom or the autumn leaves are at their best. I’ll be waiting with all my heart. Rika
