About Tour Guide Kahori M.
Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed guide interpreter, and have just started working with GoWithGuide! I’m delighted to show people around this area. For the past almost 10 years, I have mainly guided foreign medical professionals around Hiroshima City and Miyajima, gaining a deep understanding of the effects of radiation and the support for A-bomb survivors.
Hiroshima is a city of rivers and the sea. Along the rivers Cherry trees line, and the calm Seto Inland Sea, dotted with islands, creates a stunning landscape. Also, the sea has many islands called "art islands" which have fantastic arts relating to the art festival "Setoushi Triennale". In addition to our two World Heritage Sites, this area is rich in attractive resources. I hope many of you will come and experience this fascinating land. Personally, I am very passionate about modern art and enjoy sports like stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) on our rivers.
I look forward to meeting you, interacting with you, and also, learning from you!

“Outstanding and Fun!”
Kahori was excellent. Deeply knowledgeable, patient and made the trip informative, fun, and better than if we went on our own.

Thank you for choosing Hiroshima for your family's memorable trip. It's wonderful to meet someone who worked on OS2! It's always a pleasure to be with such a lovely family. Kahori

“Kahori was fantastic! ”
Kahori was our guide for this half day tour. She was accommodating and friendly as she navigated us to the right place. We got lost and she was willing to meet us and at a new destination convenient for us. She took us to Miyajima and was incredibly knowledgeable about the shrine and history of the island. She encouraged us to try local dishes and pointed out her favorites. She then dropped us off at the Peace Park with a bit of history as well. I highly recommend this tour with Kahori!
Kahori M.
Thank you for your warm comments. It was an honor to be able to join your family trip. Spending time with such a close-knit family is always enjoyable. Please come to Japan again sometime! Kahori

“Perfect Balance of Darkness and Light ”
Had a positively excellent experience with Kahori. She was an incredible guide who managed and thought of every last detail while being highly communicative through it all. She was so thoughtful - bringing us a gift for our honeymoon and even packing extra umbrellas in case we forgot ours when it rained. She was incredibly cognizant of our time constraints and was working hard to make sure we stayed on schedule. Ultimately we decided to move our train time back because we felt there was so much to cover and wanted to continue to learn more from Kahori. She went above and beyond - giving us two extra hours of her time so we would not feel rushed while learning about the devastation of Hiroshima. She even took a cab with us to the train station to ensure we had no issues getting on our train. I’ve never had a more caring guide! She was also wonderfully adaptable. When she learned we loved oysters she brought us to a great local oyster shop. In addition to the care and careful planning she showed us - she was just a joy to spend time with. She was very knowledgeable about current events and we found it interesting to discuss the different politics of our countries. Cannot recommend her enough. We hope to come back to Japan and hope to get to see Kahori again!

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!
