“Knowledgeable & Personable”
Rika was an excellent tour guide. We found her very knowledgeable in the areas we visited, the history and the transport system. Rika tailored the tour to our needs. I would highly recommend Rika as your tour guide. Thanks Rika for a memorable day.

“A wonderful day with a calm and generous spirit”
My two teenage daughters and I spent a wonderful day with Rika. Her love of her City is plain but she also very generously welcomed us into her home on the island of Ninoshima. We had a very relaxed and enjoyable morning with a variety of creative and cultural activities - calligraphy, onigiri making and paper crane folding. The onigiri were delicious and fun and easy to make, something I hope we can bring home with us. Rika was patient and thoughtful in her explanations of Japanese culture and Hiroshima's history. Despite the devastating history, peace and the beauty of the City and spirit today was always the positive focus. Thank you so much for a special and memorable day.

Thank you so much for your kind and beautiful review. It truly means a lot to me. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful time on Ninoshima. I still remember how focused everyone was during the calligraphy session. It was such a special moment. I hope the scent of the ink was also something you could relax and enjoy. I’m also glad you had fun making onigiri together! I would love for you to try making them again at home. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and your daughters. I truly hope our paths will cross again someday. Rika

“Fantastic Day!!”
We had such a great day with Rika. She met our family at the train station and took us on an amazing tour of Miyajima and Hiroshima. We saw all the important sites, had an amazing lunch, and learned so much. Rika was so thoughtful and had so much insight to share with us. I highly recommend her if you want to have a great day. Thank you Rika from all of my family!!

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.
