Hey there! I'm Ken, your friendly neighborhood host here in Hiroshima! One of the things I adore most about Hiroshima is the infectious passion of its people. Their warmth makes this city truly special. And let's not forget about the mouthwatering local cuisine—Okonomiyaki is a personal favorite of mine! You'll often find me exploring Hiroshima's rich history. From strolling through ancient neighborhoods like Saijo and Takehara to reflecting on the exhibits at the Atomic Museum, there's always something new to discover. As a true Hiroshima guru, I enjoy showcasing the best sake breweries and hidden culinary gems. Whether you're craving a taste of tradition or seeking off-the-beaten-path adventures, count on me to show you the very best this vibrant city has to offer. Let's create unforgettable memories together in Hiroshima! See you soon.

My reviews

    Ken was an amazing and friendly guide. He showed me amazing spots on Miyajima and told me interesting things about Shintoism, post WW2 Hiroshima and other interesting facts about Japan. Would recommend this guide if you want a fun and chill day exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima.

    Ken was friendly and knowledgeable and went out of his way to customise our 4hr tour. It was very fast paced so wouldn't suit those with mobility issues. Need our IC card and bring cash to pay for guide's fares. Worthwhile tour for time poor travellers.

    Ken was thoughtful about planning a wonderful day for us and helping us continue on without him for the hours after our tour to get the most out of Hiroshima.
