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)

“Sehr beeindruckende Führung ”
Mit Keiko hatten wir eine hervorragende Führerin. Sie verfügt über sehr gute Kenntnisse der historischen Abläufe und der religiösen Entwicklungen. Sie informiert offen über Traditionen, Sitten und Gebräuche, Land und Leute. Die Kommunikation mit ihr ist sehr angenehm, locker und gut verständlich. Jederzeit wieder.

Vielen Dank für Ihre nette Bewertung! Ich hatte gestern wirklich eine tolle Zeit mit euch. Danke, dass ihr mir so aufmerksam zugehört habt, obwohl mein Deutsch nicht perfekt ist. Jetzt beginnt meine liebste Jahreszeit in Deutschland. Die Weihnachtsmärkte, das deutsche Brot, der Käse, die Wurst, die Suppen, der Tannenbaum im Wohnzimmer und das warme Licht an den Fenstern – all das macht diese Zeit so besonders. Ich wünsche mir, dass diese wunderbaren deutschen Traditionen weiterhin gepflegt werden. Ich hoffe sehr, dass wir uns eines Tages wiedersehen! Liebe Grüße, Keiko

“World Heritage Tour Hiroshima”
We had a wonderful day doing a UNESCO World Heritage full day tour in Hiroshima with Keiko K. It was a full day and Keiko was a first class tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable on the history of Japan and the sites we visited, speaks very good English and was full of enthusiasm when sharing her knowledge with us, We would gladly recommend Keiko as a tour guide.

It seems you've safely returned to Canada after completing your cruise. Traveling as a couple with good friends is so wonderful — I hope to experience such a trip myself someday. I truly appreciate the wonderful review you wrote despite being busy after your travels. We walked quite a distance during the tour, and I was honestly surprised when I later learned everyone’s ages! Please keep that youthful energy and spirit! Lastly, thank you so much for the chocolate — It was melt-in-my-mouth good, a flavor we can’t find in Japan! Warm regards, Kay

“Hiroshima History and Highlights tour ”
Kay has a wealth of knowledge about Japanese history and Hiroshima. We met Kay at our hotel and headed straight to Shukkeien Park. She pointed out elements that we would have otherwise missed and I appreciated the cultural reverence towards nature. With Kay’s guidance, we were given the rare opportunity to wear the silk robes of noblemen for a photo. We then walked to Hiroshima castle, followed by the Peace Park and museum. The museum was harrowing but provides an important insight into the immediate and ongoing effects of the A bomb. Kay was warm, informative and enthusiastic and it made our short time in Hiroshima feel so much more impactful. Thank you Kay.

Thank you so much for writing a review right after today’s tour — I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I was as surprised as you were at Shukkeien Garden! In Japan, we call it “ichigo ichie” — a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Meeting someone in a place we might visit only once in our lives and sharing such a meaningful moment together — that’s what we call “en” (a special connection), and it reflects the Japanese spirit of gratitude at the heart of our culture. The spot where you took those beautiful photos is actually dedicated to Japan’s highest Shinto deities! Please treasure those pictures — they carry a special meaning. I’ll never forget all the wonderful conversations we had during the tour. Warm regards, Kay
