I’ve lived in Hiroshima for 5 years
I speak English, Japanese and some Spanish
I am a travel designer
Hi, I’m Kota, and I’ve lived in Hiroshima long enough to know its perfect balance between city life and nature. One of my favorite things about Hiroshima is how close we are to both the sea and the mountains—there’s a calmness in seeing the sunset over the Seto Inland Sea from my home. I love peaceful walks around Peace Memorial Park, especially at night when the quiet really sinks in. I know the neighborhoods around Miyajima and Peace Memorial Park well, and as a Shinrin-yoku (forest-bathing) facilitator, I can help you experience Hiroshima with all five senses. Having traveled to over 70 countries, I understand the thrill of discovery, and I’m here to help you explore Hiroshima as both a traveler and a local.
