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.

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!!

Absolutely 5 stars! Ken was an exceptional guide for our walking tour through Hiroshima. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the city’s history, but what really stood out was his patience and kindness with our children—he made sure they felt included and engaged the entire time. He tailored the pace to suit our family and answered all our questions with warmth and insight. To top it off, he brought us to a local restaurant that served one of the most delicious meals we had on our trip. A memorable and meaningful experience—we couldn’t recommend Ken more highly!

The places that we visited and the patience of Ken, our guide, to keep everything great notwithstanding the rain and my daughters stopping every 10 steps to take another picture. We loved the places and our guide.
