Hi, I am Miyu, a Nationally Licensed Guide Interpreter. I began my career as a tourist guide after working as a public servant for nearly four decades. I mainly guide tours to Hiroshima’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites — the Atomic Bomb Dome (including Peace Park) and Miyajima Island. As a local government employee, I worked in a department supporting atomic bomb survivors for 12 years before my retirement, and I still keep in touch with some of them, so I am knowledgeable 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’m a passionate fan of my local baseball team. So I enjoy talking about baseball with guests from countries where it is popular. I am a volunteer medical interpreter and can support travelers in the event of sudden health problems. I hope you will enjoy discovering the many charms of Hiroshima. Not only the two World Heritage Sites, but also places such as Shukkeien Garden, a beautiful Japanese garden, and Mitaki Temple with its tranquil atmosphere. I am not a driver. I usually offer tours using public transportation.

Atomic-Bomb Dome, Peace Park, Museum, Miyajima Island
Overview of your Hiroshima tour
From Hiroshima Port, located in the Seto Inland Sea, we’ll take a taxi to the city center. As we walk through Peace Park, I can share stories about the atomic bombing that are not included in the museum exhibits. We will then head to Miyajima Island. Enjoy the unique Itsukushima Shrine and Otorii floating on the sea, and the majestic Daisho-in Temple. For lunch, I recommend okonomiyaki and oyster dishes, which are deeply loved by the people of Hiroshima.
