Why don’t we spend an unforgettable time together in Hiroshima?

I spent most of my school years in Kure which used to be a flourishing naval port town in Hiroshima. After finishing an undergraduate degree in Japan, I went to Boston to study linguistics at a graduate school. I taught English for nearly 10 years in Japan. Some opportunities to work as a volunteer interpreter made me want more people to know about how beautifully Hiroshima was reconstructed from the ashes. Since 2019, I have been working as a tour guide mainly in Miyajima Island and Peace Memorial Park. The island and the park are not the only highlights in Hiroshima. There are more places to have fun here. For instance, you can enjoy the famous food stalls and the delicious curry and rice in Kure. I really want to enjoy them with my guests. I also love to learn about different cultures. Let’s chat and enjoy Hiroshima, its people, and its culture together!

Let's enjoy the nature of the islands of Hiroshima by trekking or cycling!

Born in Hiroshima in 1953, I studied shipbuilding at university. After graduating, I joined the Japanese Navy, worked nationwide as an officer and retired in 1990. After that, I worked at an automobile parts company in Hiroshima and retired in 2018.

In the same year, I acquired Hiroshima Prefecture Interpreter Guide License and started interpreting guide in 2019.

Especially recommended is the beauty of the archipelago in the Seto Inland Sea. You can experience the beauty of the archipelago by climbing the summit of each island or riding a bicycle along the island. In cycling, you can enjoy many cycling roads that go around the islands, in addition to the Shimanami-Kaido. Whether you like bicycles or not, it's definitely a great experience.

Postscript: If you are interested in the Navy, I will guide you to the former Navy city of Kure. I can provide deep topics as a retired officer.

Let's experience your new world in Hiroshima.

Hi, I'm Holly, your guide for people from all over the world. After having backpacked in nearly 100 countries and lived abroad 20 years, I decided to come back to Re-discover my beloved country Japan, especially my hometown Hiroshima and Setouchi areas.

With my traveling skills and working experiences in tourism industry, I'm very flexible and patient for any situations and any requests.

For travelers, one of the most important things I believe is to have " EXPERIENCES ", such as tasting new food & drinks, spending time with locals and strolling little alleys to encounter something you've never seen before. I'd love to enjoy being your buddy to do things together. So please feel free to contact me anytime, if you have any questions. I'm really looking forward to seeing YOU soon.
