Hey there! I'm Kaori, your friendly local host here in beautiful Hiroshima. One of my favorite things to do is to stroll through the streets of Miyajima, indulging in delicious treats, and capturing the perfect pictures of this picturesque island. When I'm not exploring Miyajima, you can find me cruising to Sandankyo, enjoying the vibrant autumn leaves or the lush greenery of spring. As a Hiroshima guru, I know this city like the back of my hand. From the hidden gems of Miyajima to the serene beauty of the Hiroshima Botanic Garden, I've got you covered. Need recommendations for authentic eats or charming restaurants? I've got you covered! Whether you're craving adventure or seeking tranquility, let me show you the best of Hiroshima. Let's make unforgettable memories together in this gem of a city!

We had a great day on Miyajima. Kaori our private guide made our tour in Hiroshima and Miyajima flow smoothly, saving us time and trouble free. Our tour coincided with the Emperor’s visit which could have been complicated but thanks to Kaori, we had no problems. She communicated with us many times prior to the day and rearranged timing to suit us. Kaori was kind enough to book lunch at a Japanese French fusion restaurant we would not have found ourselves. Her general knowledge of history was impressive, as well as knowing where to get the freshest oyster and refill lemon beers!

Our Driver was great to work with. There were a couple of places that we did not want to go so our driver quickly adapted and moved on to the next location.
