I am a national licensed guide – interpreter and was born and raised in Hiroshima and have lived in Hiroshima for over 60 years. I worked as an engine engineering engineer for an automobile company for 42 years. During that period, I worked on the joint engine development program with Ford Motor Company for six years and spent 3 years in Germany and acquired English communication skills.
While communicating with people from many countries both work and privately. I also learned the difficulties and joys of communicating with people from different countries. This prompted me to start working as an interpreter-guide after retiring from the automobile company.
I think that the best way to know the local culture, food and history is to meet and talk with the locals. That’s why I’m here. In my tour, as a descendant of a survivor of the atomic bomb, I talk about my family history. I myself love ramen and okonomiyaki, so I often go around trying delicious okonomiyaki and ramen restaurants. Why don’t you join me in trying them?

Tripadvisor review: Hiroshima / Miyajima Full-day Private Tour with Government Licensed Guide
Thanks, Hide for showing us around your beautiful hometown and sharing your knowledge and personal stories with us. You made us all feel very welcome, and nothing was a bother. The lunch you organised was sensational and the order of the tour allowed us plenty of time in Miyajima and Hiroshima to get a feel for the area and deepen our understanding of the events that took place in 1945. Thanks again - Blake, Chris and Paul
