About Tour Guide 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)

“Hiroshima Walking Tour”
Kay is an outstanding tour guide. From the moment we booked the tour, she planned the itinerary to meet our specific needs. She met us at the train station platform and guided us through the station. She is vey knowledgeable about the history of Hiroshima and showed us the places described on the tour. Kay speaks excellent English and made our tour most enjoyable.

Thank you so much for your kind review. Watching how gently and lovingly you cared for your wife throughout the tour made me reflect on how beautiful such a relationship is, and how I’d love to have something like that too. I truly enjoyed our conversations — from topics about Japan to our travels in Europe — so much so that I almost forgot I was working! If you ever have the chance, I would be delighted to welcome you back to Hiroshima again. Warm regards, Kay (Keiko)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly had a wonderful time with both of you. It was a real pleasure to see your genuine interest in what happened here in Hiroshima and to exchange our historical perspectives during our time at the museum. Warm regards, Kay (Keiko)

“Family Friendly Hiroshima Tour”
We feel blessed to have crossed paths with Keiko in Hiroshima. It was our favorite day in Japan! Aside from a visit to Peace Memorial Park/Museum, we enjoyed our other stops including the Castle, the Tower and Okonomiyaki. We moved efficiently around the city and she packaged a lot of history into a short period of time. Her humor and whit seemlessly hooked the kids into learning about Japanese-American history, etc. Her spirit and deep knowledge about everything Hiroshima is worth every minute and penny. Do not hesitate to use Keiko as your tour guide. We hope our paths may cross again in the future.

Hello my dear, Thank you so much for your kind review. The time we spent together in Hiroshima was truly special, and I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with every member of your wonderful family. I was especially impressed by how passionate both of your children were about learning the history of Japan and the US, as well as their earnest curiosity and enthusiasm for discovering new things. I wish you a journey filled with joy and adventure and hope that our paths will cross again in the future. Thank you so much! Best regards, Keiko (Kay)

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.
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.

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!
