“Fabulous Guide”

It was such a pleasure to be able to tour with Rika. From the moment we contacted her, and throughout the whole process, she maintained excellent communication. She arrived at our hotel very warm and welcoming. We didn’t have the best weather day initially so she changed plans to start inside and get local by making one of their famous okonomimura pancakes (a famous Hiroshima dish). We toured the Hiroshima memorial museum. During the tour she told us many stories of what happened to the people and also of survivors. She made you really feel close to what happened. After that we went to the peace park and honored the victims and also their families. It was beautiful and at that time the weather cleared. We also went to the atomic Dome. She also threw in some extra local little surprises that made the whole day very special. I would highly recommend her because you could tell she loved what she was doing, and wanted to share the stories in history of Hiroshima.

I’m truly grateful for your wonderful review, and I’m incredibly happy to hear your thoughts. Although the weather wasn’t ideal, I’m glad we could enjoy making okonomiyaki, one of Hiroshima’s most iconic dishes, together. Walking through the local shopping arcade and experiencing Hiroshima’s history at Peace Park were meaningful moments, and I’m thrilled that you could share them with me. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in this beautiful country, and I look forward to the chance of meeting you again someday. Rika

I am truly delighted to receive such a wonderful review. I hope that your time in Hiroshima, even though it was limited to just one day, allowed you to get to know the city, enjoy it, and have a meaningful journey. Through our discussions at the museum, as well as our talks about Hiroshima’s history, world peace, and historical events, I was reminded of the importance of continuing to learn. I sincerely hope you will visit Hiroshima again, and I look forward to the day we can meet once more. Rika

Hi everyone. I'm Kazumi. I am a qualified tour guide.I have been guiding Hiroshima since 2010. Through guiding Hiroshima, I can give my guests my knowledge of this area and Japanese culture. At the same time, I can learn their understanding of Japan and the differences between our culture and theirs, which is very interesting. I also believe that meeting with local people is the best way to know the area. I was born and grew up in Hiroshima. I am very happy to give you wonderful time and memories in Hiroshima. I am really looking forward to hearing from you.

I am a national licensed guide - interpreter and was born and raised in Hiroshima and have lived in Hiroshima for over 60 years. I worked as an engine engineering engineer for an automobile company for 42 years. During that period, I worked on the joint engine development program with Ford Motor Company for six years and spent 3 years in Germany and acquired English communication skills. While communicating with people from many countries both work and privately. I also learned the difficulties and joys of communicating with people from different countries. This prompted me to start working as an interpreter-guide after retiring from the automobile company. I think that the best way to know the local culture, food and history is to meet and talk with the locals. That's why I'm here. In my tour, as a descendant of a survivor of the atomic bomb, I talk about my family history. I myself love ramen and okonomiyaki, so I often go around trying delicious okonomiyaki and ramen restaurants. Why don't you join me in trying them?

Hello, I'm HIDEo YOSHIda. Please call me HIDEYOSHI, the same name as the famous shogun who built the Osaka Castle in 1585. I was born in Kobe and worked in Osaka for nearly 40 years. I would like to introduce the Kansai region to you ,including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama. Kobe is one of the two largest ports in Japan, along with Yokohama. After the opening of the Port of Kobe in 1868, foreigners built their residences on the hillside of the Kitano-cho area, overlooking the ocean. Many of the foreign residences are now open to the public as museums, including the Weathercock House, with it's symbol weathercock on the triangle-shaped roof. In Meriken Park, the red Port Tower (the city's landmark), creates a beautiful contrast against the white Kobe Marine Museum. The museum's design was inspired by the waves and sailing ships. When you have a chance to visit Osaka, please join my tour. I'm sure you'll enjoy the interesting and historical, scenic spots. For example, Shin-Sekai is a downtown area with a strange mix of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary energy. You can try local foods (kushikatsu, sushi, tempura) at a reasonable price. Billiken (a famous statue of the spirit of luck) will be waiting for you!!. Dotombori is a popular street with a lot of flashy signboards. Osaka is widely known as a "Kuidaore-no-machi", or literally "drinking and eating luxuriously to death." Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi HIDEYOSHI in 1585. Oh, it's my residence, isn't it ! These days "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" area in USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is also attracting more and more people. I'll be looking forward to seeing you !!
