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!

My reviews

Kaku was very warm and welcoming and ensured the tour met our needs. It was our first time and I really wanted my daughter to get a good understanding of what happened at Hiroshima. Kaku was able to enhance what we saw at museums and significant sights. He took us to a great place for lunch and we had fun playing at the Origami centre finishing it off with all of us taking the slide down. Kaku was also very interested in us/Australia and we had a lovely time exchanging differences. I would certainly reccommend him to anyone.

Great effort from him. He made sure we saw everything we could see with the limited time we had (our cruise arrived late due to weather).

We had the most amazing experience thanks to our tour guide, Kaku. He went above and beyond in every possible way — from his deep knowledge of the local culture and history to his warm and friendly personality. Kaku made the tour feel personal, exciting, and incredibly informative. He paid attention to every detail and made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged throughout. I’ve been on many tours before, and I can honestly say that Kaku is the best tour guide I’ve ever had. If you get the chance to tour with him, don’t miss it. Thank you, Kaku, for making this trip unforgettable!
