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.

With my background in local government and years of experience supporting atomic bomb survivors, I offer thoughtful, personalized tours exploring Hiroshima’s tragic past, recovery, resilience, and hopes for peace. Discover the traces left by the atomic bombing at the A-Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Park and Museum, as well as the former Army Clothing Depot and the ruins of a military air defense room—important sites that reveal lesser-known aspects of Hiroshima’s wartime history.
