Hi, I’m Kaku
Hi, I’m Kaku
I’ve lived in Hiroshima for 1 years
I speak English, Japanese and some Spanish
I am an AI Sherpa
I'm Kaku, a Hiroshima local who loves the city's vibrant energy, from passionate soccer and baseball fans to its incredible food scene. Whether it's catching a match at a lively bar or soaking in a relaxing hot spring, I enjoy experiencing everything Hiroshima has to offer. I know the best local spots—hidden restaurants, cozy izakayas, and rejuvenating hot springs that many visitors miss. Strolling through Hondori Shopping Street or reflecting at the Peace Memorial Park, I can share insights that go beyond the surface. If you're looking for an adventure filled with great food, local culture, and maybe even a soccer chat, I'd love to show you around!

Kaku did great job in picking up different Locations where we could experience Hiroshimas local life. The four hours tour was enough to dive a bit in and see some nice neighbourhoods and shops. I can super recommend the tour with Kaku!
