Guide #25555

Hi. I'm Michi. I'm a National Licensed tour guide in English. I would like to introduce many faces and charms of Japan and make your stay in Japan more fascinating and satisfying. I was born and raised in Hiroshima. My first English tour was as a volunteer guide for visitors to my school when I was a junior high school student. It gave me a great opportunity to study about the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. I spent my life in Hiroshima except for 6 years; 1 year in the UK when I was a student and 5 years working in Singapore and Malaysia. During this period I have enjoyed meeting and talking with people from different cultural backgrounds. These experiences encouraged me to be a licensed tour guide. In Hiroshima, there are two famous World Heritage Sites: the Atomic Bomb Dome in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima. I have experienced many tours of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum & Park since I was a junior high school student. I would like to introduce you to the a-bomb legacies that are still existing in the city and the stories under the mushroom cloud. I also would like to share time with you on a historic island, Miyajima. There is one of the most famous Shinto shrines, the Itsukushima Shrine. There we can share an enjoyable time by exploring a sacred atmosphere, tradition, nature, food, etc... I am also an official 'A-bomb legacy successor' designated by the City of Hiroshima. An A-bomb Legacy Successor is a memory keeper of the A-bomb survivors. To ensure that the A-bomb survivors' experiences and desires for peace are faithfully inherited and shared with as many people as possible, the City has started a three-year training program for official 'A-bomb Legacy Successors.' It is possible to include my lecture in my tour. It would be appreciated if you could let me know BEFORE your booking. Let me support your stay in Japan and I look forward to showing you the best of Japan! Hope to see you soon!

I can accompany you in your vehicle or arrange a vehicle and driver. At least 10 days advance notice is requested to arrange a vehicle before the tour. *Please avoid a direct booking if you come by a cruise ship.

    Michiru was an amazing guide! She was very knowledgeable about Hiroshima and all of the history. She also went above and beyond to help us with planning before the trip (where to stay and logistics for what we had plans to do after our time in Hiroshima). She even walked us to our next activity after our tour was done. She was also very accommodating for adjusting the...

    Michiru is a great tour guide! She is very knowledgeable about Hiroshima and the surrounding sites, was very informative about Japanese customs and practices, and is a very pleasant person with whom to spend the day. If you are looking for a Hiroshima-area tour guide, I highly recommend her!

    We had a great tour by Michi (Michiru) around the Hiroshima area. We were able to coordinate a unique trip to visit a small town where a parent had previously lived near Hiroshima. Michi was very helpful in creating and coordinating the trip/transportation and integrating it with our cruise timing. She was very responsive and gave me confidence that the day would work...
