I'm Alexander K., your private tour guide in Hiroshima
Guide #78055
Explore Hiroshima’s history, culture, and scenic islands—on foot or by bike—with a guide who has lived here for more than 20 years. I grew up in the Netherlands and worked as a light engineer before discovering Hiroshima—a city whose beauty and resilience captured my heart. Since then, I’ve built a life here with my family, raising children near Peace Memorial Park and once living with a Hibakusha. These experiences give me a personal bond with Hiroshima’s story of peace and recovery. As a former educator and a student of Tea Ceremony and Ikebana, I bring a perspective that blends culture, history, and daily life. Guiding has become a natural extension of my life here, and I enjoy helping travelers experience Hiroshima and Miyajima in a way that is meaningful, authentic, and unforgettable.

Alex is a terrific guide. As a European Man living in Hiroshima and raising a family there, he provides a unique insight to life in this city of remarkable rebirth and peace. Alex is warm and friendly and tailored our time together perfectly.

November 2026Thank you so much for your kind words! The rain certainly didn't stop us from having an interesting day together. From the moving stories of Hiroshima to our delicious okonomiyaki lunch and unexpected art exhibition, we managed to fit in quite a bit! I'm especially glad the stories stayed with you and that you shared them with your friends. Thanks again, and happy...

Alex was the perfect host and guide to show us all around Hiroshima. He is extremely knowledgeable, and his love for this city was quite apparent. He was also very considerate when one of our party wasn't feeling well, and we had to slow down a bit. We all felt like we had made a friend in Hiroshima, and his name was Alex.

November 2026It was great meeting the four of you! I'm glad we managed to see Miyajima, catch the fast boat back to Hiroshima, and still have time for the little school museum and Peace Park, even though the walking became a bit much towards the end. I hope everyone is feeling better and that you enjoyed the rest of your trip. And you're always welcome back in Hiroshima! Thanks again...

Alex is one of the best guides we have had anywhere. We had a limited time to see Hiroshima and our four-hour private walking tour was a great introduction to this amazing city. We appreciated the attention Alex gave to personalizing the tour by carefully attending to our requests and making suggestions about other things we might want to see. He is clearly in love...
