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.

Overview of your Hiroshima tour

Hiroshima is best known as the first city to be destroyed by a nuclear weapon. Just after the day of A-bombing, it was said that no plants would grow up for 75 years in future. However, the city recovered to be the largest city in the Chūgoku region of western Honshu. Visiting some monuments and museum in the park shows us how precious our peaceful daily life and the world peace are. We can learn what happend at that day and think about what we can do for the future generations. You can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere in a lot of green as well.

Mie, our tour guide, was certainly knowledgeable on the history of Hiroshima and catered to out timing requirements to a tee. She was very responsive to all our enquiries and given the time we had available, Mie exceeded all our expectations. If visiting Hiroshima, we encourage you to avail yourselves of her services.

Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful corners of Japan. The guide is very knowledgeable and made it very easy for us to learn during the trip. He adjusted to our pace, so thank you again. It was a pleasure to explore with her

Our guide Mie communicated with us before the tour, offering her thoughts on places to stay, the tour was done as described, and included the garden tour, view of the castle (closed in April 2026), visit to the shrine and on to the peace park before finishing at the peace museum. We saw a lot, though we did not feel rushed. The peace museum can be crowded but is definitely worth seeing. The warmth of the people of Hiroshima who suffered such a tragedy is amazing and their determination to promote world peace without expressing embitterment is truly humbling.

Mie gave us good explications about Hiroshima history and took time to answer to our questions. It was a real sensitive and emotional afternoon

Mie efficiently showed us around Hiroshima including spending a lot of time in the gardens and at the Peace Memorial and museum. She was so helpful in the planning of our day, as we were doing this as a day trip from Kyoto as our youngest teenage son was wanting to see this important historical site. She helped us choose a less busy day for our visit and gave me advice on travel and food since it would be such a quick trip. She took great photos of our family and was an extremely knowledgeable and organized guide, making sure we were back to the train station on time. Despite it being such a quick trip, we never felt rushed and had plenty of time at each place. Thank you Mie!
