Thanks to reaching my profile page and Im glad to introduce myself to you. I am Dario, from the beatiful city of LOVE, VENICE, ITALY 🇮🇹, and I have traveled around Japan at least once a year from 2011 to 2016 when The fate decided that i had to meet my actual wife , who is Japanese, in Italy and I took the decision to move to Japan to be able to stay together with her in 2018 , after 1 year of relationship in Italy, and 1 year long distance relationship ( very long and far ). When I was living in Italy, I worked for 12 years as a sales man for different international companies in the air conditioning market , so I had the opportunity to travel around the world and meeting many people. I arrived in Japan in 2018 as a student of the japanese language. In the meanwhile I started studying the history of Hiroshima and in 2019 i decided to promoting myself as a tourist assistant, at the beginning for Hiroshima and Miyajima island, but after a while, all around the most famous spots in Japan. So far I guided single travellers, couples, families but also groups up to 40 persons. I will not be only your guide in Hiroshima, but I will be like a friend to you willing to share with you all of my knowledge about Hiroshima, Japan and its culture , and i can share with you all my experiences as a foreigner living in this country with its highs and lows. You will see me always with a smile on my face because I really love this job and you will see it through my passion. My mission also is to show you the beauty of Hiroshima and try to make you forget the sad side of this city. I really hope to see you soon here. また ね ("mata ne " it means "see you" in japanese) if you need , i can adjust my tours , according to your needs and preferences, just send me a request and i will be happy to answer you in the best way possible. Ciao Dario

Explore the enchanted Miyajima Island
Overview of your Hiroshima tour
I bring visitors in Miyajima to discover the most famous and interesting places, telling them about the history, culture and curiosities of Japanese people. This is a fully customized tour based on guest needs and requests. Journey to discover the best places in the magical island of Miyajima, characterized by the majestic Torii and the friendly deer that live freely and in contact with human beings. We are going to visit of course one of the most famous shrine in all Japan, but also some hidden gems, that only the local people like me, can show you.

Dario has lived in Japan for many years. His English is near perfect and he is fluent in Japanese. He was a terrific guide for a half-day tour from our cruise ship to Miyajima. Dario took care of all the transportation details so we could focus on the sights. He knows the island like a local. His explanations were interesting. He knows all the best vantage points for photos of the Torii Gate. After seeing the sights, Dario took us to a local restaurant for a tasty and authentic Japanese meal. Afterwards we went for coffee, then he led us to the ferry and escorted us back to the ship. We were very pleased and can recommend Dario for anyone traveling to Hiroshima!

Dario was very helpful, not only guiding the tour but supporting in any organisation details. We had fun with him on wonderful Miyajima Island and in Hiroshima.
Denise H.United States
Our group of 4 had a great half day tour of Miyajima island with Dario. He explained the history and culture of the island, made sure we were in the perfect spot to get a picture of the floating Tori gate from the ferry and even took us to an out of the way spot to escape the crowds and get amazing photos of cherry blossoms and the bay. He booked dinner for us in Hiroshima that evening. Dario was flexible with our group allowing us to have the tour that fit us perfectly.
Aric D.United States
Our time spent with Dario ranked as a definite highlight of our trip! His knowledge of Hiroshima and Miyajima fascinated us, and his perspective as an Italian who has adopted Japan as his home was very informative. We drank water boiled over the eternal flame on Mt. Misen, ate some great food, took a lot of pictures, and laughed a lot. Thanks, Dario, for a time our family will never forget!
Dora C.United States
Our family took a 1/2 day Miyajima tour with Dario. He was super knowledgeable about the culture of the Japanese people and the history which for being in Japan for 5 years was juat amazing. He is patient and offered lots of information not only about our tour, gave us further recommendations for other cities we were going to visit in the upcoming days. He also told us to feel free to message him anytime if we had any questions or needed help. He speaks, English, Japanese and Italian 5 stars all the way!
