I am a tour guide
Hi, I’m Aya! I find such peace and beauty in Hiroshima, especially on the serene Miyajima Island and during quiet walks through Hiroshima Peace Park. I love uncovering hidden stories of our city and learning about our history, particularly the enduring message of peace that Hiroshima represents. I know the ins and outs of Miyajima, Hiroshima Peace Park, and Kure city, and I’m passionate about sharing these special places with you. As a supporter of Hibakusha (survivors of the atomic bombing), I can offer you a unique and heartfelt perspective on our city's past and present. And, of course, I’d love to introduce you to Hiroshima’s delicious local cuisine, from Okonomiyaki to grilled oysters!

Our guide Aya was amazing, she made the trip very plesant. This was one of the best experiences so far on our trip in Japan. Aya is very caring, helpful and very god company and she was very knowledgeable about the history.
