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)
