Hi, I am Mie. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter with deep knowledge of Japanese history, religions, and culture. Since I was born, raised, and finished college (majored in Japanese literature and history) in Hiroshima, I have a lot of stories as a local guide that you cannot read in any guidebooks. I love to guide you around my homeland and share ideas with you all. I love walking, traveling, climbing mountains, camping, and meeting people from all over the world. I have traveled around Japan climbing mountains for over 40 years and traveled to Canada, Switzerland, France, Spain, Nepal, Korea, Hong Kong, U. S, and so on mostly for climbing, trekking, and skiing. So if you want to travel both in cities or in nature, I will be your best guide. I have been enjoying being a guide. I am really happy and lucky to see and guide a lot of wonderful people from all over the world and it is my pleasure to share the time because I can learn a lot from my clients. I am looking forward to seeing you soon. National certified tour guide Interpreter. License No.EN00241 since 2011. Coordinator for Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA) *The Travel Agency Act prohibits including travel costs (meals, transportation and admission fees) in guide-interpreting fees. *Insurance is not included.

We had a great experience with Mie, who shared thoughtful insights into the temples and shrines we visited. She also joined us on a beautiful, challenging hike down the mountain, which added a special, adventurous touch to the day. Her knowledge and warmth made the experience memorable.

I highly recommend Mie as a guide for the Hiroshima area. A lovely guide and companion with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Hiroshima and it's environs.

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mie for touring in Hiroshima.....her English was superb and her introduction to Hiroshima and Japanese culture was enlightening. Miyajama is an island off Hiroshima and before our trip we obviously had no idea about it.....but Mie was a fantastic tour guide and made our full day such a pleasure with her knowledge of all things Hiroshima and knowing exactly where and when to go to Miyajama to experience all it had to offer. Our Okonomiyaki lunch was a highlight too!

Mie had excellent English. She was very knowledgeable, had an itinerary that had the key areas to see but was flexible to match what I wanted to see and do as well as . Since it was raining we got to see some areas that were not on her initial itinerary but were really great finds. Had a great personality and was a very good companion for the day

This was an amazing tour around the island of Miyajima. The organisation of this tour was first class as Mie-San prepared a full day of activity, excercises and some wonderful experiences around the island of Miyajima. We were picked up from our hotel lobby and the tour ran smoothly from beginning right through to end of day back at our hotel. Thanks very kindly Mie-san!
