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.

    Our host , Ken was fantastic. He had asked us days before the tour what we wanted to see and then he prepared a detailed itinerary for the day. He was well prepared and we saw everything we wanted to. Thank you Ken

    Ken guided us with ease and we will highly recommend him to others travelling here. Very comfortable to be around and so personal like being with a family member. Many thanks for going the extra extra mile.

    This tour is worth the cost if you want a personalized guide to navigate getting to the beautiful island of Miyajima. Our guide, Ken, was wonderful. A fluent English speaker who is also a native of Hiroshima, we got the best of both worlds! Ken was courteous, patient, and informative. I highly recommend requesting him as a guide for your trip to Hiroshima/Miyajima. We were able to avoid the crowds because we started early and he knew exactly where to go before the throngs of people started pouring in. Additionally, he added on a visit to the Grand Prince Hotel where the 2023 G7 Summit was held. Overall, thumbs up!
