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!

Our guide Kaku was amazing. He took us to the local hotspots that tend to not where the tourists go including this incredible curry restaurant. Both my partner and myself don't like curry all the much but decided to give it a try as it had been a while and walked away from the meal being easily one of the best meals we had. He was very knowledge and easy to talk too.

We did a hidden gems tour of Hiroshima on our last full day and it the perfect way to end our first trip to Japan. Our guide Kaku showed us some of the local hotspots and great advice on where we should have our last dinner. Highly recommend!
