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.

We had a wonderful time with our guide Ken. Ken knew all the right sports and viewpoints. Despite the rain and clouds blocking the views Ken made the cable car ride up Mount Misen a memorable experience. He was a terrific guide and explained everything making the visit enjoyable and memorable.

Ken our tour guide was absolutely amazing and we loved every minute of our 6 hour personised tour of Miyajima and Hiroshima. He took us to a great restaurant too for some delicious local cuisine. 10 stars!!
