I am Teaching
am Maruf, a Bangladeshi. I have been living in Hiroshima for the last seven years. I got my master's and doctoral degrees from Hiroshima University, and now I am working for some elementary schools here in Hiroshima. I love living in Hiroshima. The people here are very friendly and welcoming. The city is very clean and safe. I have made many friends here, and I enjoy exploring the city and its surroundings. Hiroshima has a lot of interesting places to visit, such as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome. I also enjoy the local cuisine, especially okonomiyaki. I am very thankful for the opportunity to experience a different culture and to learn more about the world. I am also very proud to be part of the Hiroshima community and to be able to contribute to its development. I am also very passionate about helping the local community. I volunteer at a local charity organization, and I am also involved in various activities that promote peace and understanding between different cultures. I am very grateful for the opportunity to live in Hiroshima and to be part of this wonderful city. I am looking forward to continuing to explore and learn more about this amazing place. The Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima are two popular tourist destinations in Hiroshima. Except for those, Hiroshima has a lot of places to visit. I like mountains and the sea. I hope that you can spend a nice time with me. I am looking forward to meeting you and showing you around Hiroshima.

Maroof was very knowledgeable and fun guide. He was also very helpful in terms of recommendations overall was really good experience and they’re useful on my first day in Tokyo in terms of food. It was also superior we tried different kind of foods in different places and he always had really good recommendations.

We had a wonderful day with Maruf. He took great care of my family and took us to some amazing spots in and around Tokyo. We talked before hand and made a plan for the day together - we decided to focus on the west side of Tokyo in order to allow us to see things more indepth than just flying around and seeing it all too quickly. Plus our timing was perfect for the Sakura and we spent time up in Ueno park seeing some beautiful cherry trees.....A wonderful and all thanks to our great guide Maruf...If you have the chance to work with him, I highly recommend it.
