Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Coco, and I come from Hiroshima. I have a deep connection to Hiroshima, as I was born and raised here. My parents and grandparents were actively involved in rebuilding this city after World War II. Their efforts have made me proud of this place, and I would be delighted to introduce it to you. I have been working as a guide for the past 6 years, initially as a volunteer and later as a professional guide. Meeting new people has always been a joy for me. When I'm not guiding, I enjoy cooking, dining out, and spending time with my dogs. I hold an official certificate for vegetables and fruits, which allows me to share information about Japanese food with you. During our tour, you can expect to see the beautiful sights of Hiroshima, indulge in delicious local cuisine, and engage in meaningful conversations with the locals. I will arrange the itinerary according to your preference. Whether you have specific places you'd like to visit or certain activities you'd like to experience, I will tailor the tour to suit your needs. I'm also available to exchange messages with you to prepare for the tours. If you have any questions or if there's anything specific you'd like to know or discuss before the tour, feel free to reach out to me. I'm here to ensure that your experience is enjoyable and personalized. Through training with my respected mentor, I have learned to adopt more sustainable travel practices. I want to offer you a relaxed and meaningful experience, providing opportunities to support local businesses by enjoying their food and purchasing their products. I would be more than happy to take you to local places. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. 2021 Hiroshima Prefectural Government Licensed Guide Interpreter 2022 Domestic trip duties itinerary management qualification I am not a driver.

Overview of your Hiroshima tour

Our destination includes two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Hiroshima: the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Itsukushima Shrine. The dome is situated in the city center at the Peace Memorial Park, while the shrine is located on Miyajima Island, approximately one hour away from the city. Although they're quite far apart, the journey itself offers some interesting options, such as taking a small cargo boat along the river and inland sea, or riding a tram to immerse oneself in the local atmosphere. On Miyajima Island, we'll explore historical shrines and temples while enjoying Hiroshima's local food. In the Peace Memorial Park, we'll visit the Peace Memorial Museum and some memorial monuments. This tour is specifically designed for first-time visitors to Hiroshima, aiming to provide insights into peace and Japanese history. Private car transportation available (up to 6 people) (advance booking required)

Coco was the perfect guide to introduce us to Hiroshima. We toured both Miyajima Island and the key historic sites of Hiroshima in a busy day. We enjoyed the contrast between the two vastly different locations. The Peace Memorial Park and Museum were an important part of our visit, and Coco was willing to share her family connection. She also showed us some lesser known sites that should be on every tour. Coco was a delightful tour guide. She speaks English well, is highly informative and was patient with our wandering group.

Excellent Hiroshima and Miyajima Tour with Coco! We had a wonderful experience touring Hiroshima and Miyajima with Coco! She was punctual, knowledgeable, well-prepared, and a pleasure to spend the day with. During our visit to Miyajima, Coco guided us through Itsukushima Shrine and showed us some quieter, less crowded areas around the shrine, which made the experience especially enjoyable. She knew her way around extremely well and made everything feel easy and relaxed. Coco’s kindness, great sense of humor, and engaging personality made the day both fun and informative. She shared interesting historical and cultural insights throughout the tour while keeping the atmosphere lighthearted and enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Coco and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Hiroshima and Miyajima!

Coco was amazing. She knew what to spend more time on and what we could do on our own to maximize our time with her. We learned a lot and had fun.
