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

Miyajima is one of the World Heritage Sites in Japan and a popular tourist destination. Located off the coast of Hiroshima, the serene beauty of the island is an essential spot. You will walk around the island, including the Great Red Torii Gate, Itsukushima Shrine, Daishoin Temple, and so on. *If the weather is good, we'll take the ropeway up to the Shishi-iwa Observation Deck near Mt. Misen. *Another option is the Miyajima Aquarium, where you can observe creatures of the Seto Inland Sea *During cherry blossom season, I'll take you to the hill overlooking the great torii gate, the cherry blossoms, and the Treasure Pagoda.

Mie provided us with an excellent tour of Miyajima. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the shrine and surrounding temples. Wish we had more time to explore the area and climb the mountain on the cable car.
