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!

I had a great time exploring Miyajima Island and trying the good food and delicacies thanks to my awesome guide Kaori.

Kaorisan was very proactive in tailoring our ambitious itinerary to make the most of our time in Miyajima. We had a group of three (me 44 M and my aunt (79) and mom (77)) She was very kind and patient, especially with my mother who is not used to walk a ton and struggles with up hills and stairs. We would definitely recommend her as a guide to others.

Kaorisan was very proactive in asking what we would like to do. Was not shy to tell us that my goals were ambitious and recommended a very suitable alternative. She was very kind and patient with my elderly mother who doesn’t walk so fast and struggles with stairs. We had a fantastic time in Miyajima! Thank you, Kaorisan!

We had a very good day with our guide Kaori. The top of Miyajima, Mt . Misen was a specular view. The other shrines did not disappoint. The deer through out the town were adorable. Good day for sure.
