I am a Self-Employed.
Hello! I'm Yuka, your local Hiroshima host, and I’m here to share the beauty and charm of my city with you. Hiroshima, with its rich history and beautiful coastal location along the Seto Inland Sea, holds a special place in my heart. I have a deep love for exploring scenic spots around the city and nearby islands, and I’m always on the lookout for new restaurants with great atmospheres and views. Fukuyama Ramen, fresh seafood, and of course, Hiroshima's signature okonomiyaki, are just a few of the local delicacies I can't get enough of. My adventures often take me to Fukuyama city and along the Shimanami-kaido, where I’ve discovered so many hidden gems. Sharing my city, from its mouthwatering cuisine to its picturesque landscapes, is what I love doing most. Let's explore Hiroshima together, and I’ll show you all the places that make it truly remarkable.

Yuka was the perfect guide for me! She was very easy to talk with, and we had a lot of personal tastes in common! Tasty okonomiyaki, beautiful gardens, and a fun standing bar made for a perfect tour.

I had a wonderful time with Yuka, who took my insane schedule and still made the tour fun, exciting and fulfilling. I was able to see all the sites I wanted to see and get wonderful guidance as well as cultural information and history at each step. Truly made my trip.

I went to Miyajima on a Monday. I wish we had more time but nonetheless, Yuka was able to show me a lot of places and I learned a lot from her. It was definitely better having her with me. It made the trip more memorable by having Yuka around. Thanks again! :)
