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

    The entire trip seemed to be perfectly timed. We were able to see everything we wanted and our guide Ken was funny engaging and informative. It was really emotional to see the peace memorial and the information provided on the victims of the A bomb.

    Whirlwind 4hr tour of main sites of Hiroshima. Lots of quick walking and public transport: train, ferry and tram. Must have IC card and cash to pay for guide's transportation costs. Worthwhile tour but not for walking impaired.

    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.
