Miyajima’s deer are wild animals that roam freely around the island. We can enjoy seeing them respectfully when they appear, while the route and pace remain flexible to suit your interests, mobility, and travel plans.

Hiroshima, shared with care.
At your own pace.

I’m a Hiroshima-based interpreter guide, and I would be happy to help international visitors explore the city with ease and curiosity.

From Hiroshima’s difficult history to its everyday culture, I try to share not only the words, but also the background behind them—so each place feels a little easier to understand and conversations can unfold naturally.

Akie, our guide was simply AMAZING! My family and I enjoyed it and learned a lot about the places we visited… We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Hiroshima and hope to visit again, thanks to Akie’s welcoming hospitality and deep local knowledge.

The most important thing about this tour is to have Akie as your tour guide. She is the perfect person to lead you through the beauty of Miyajima and the tragic past turned hopeful future… She is incredibly knowledgeable, fun, funny, and honest.

★★★★★
Aki was an outstanding guide. She was knowledgeable, organized, and very easy to talk to. Her explanations were clear and full of interesting details, but never felt overwhelming… The tour felt very personal rather than scripted.
