In December 2024, I obtained the Hiroshima Prefecture Regional Guide-Interpreter in Hiroshima City, where I currently live. I am a Korean national and came to Japan after getting married and have been living in Japan for the longest time of my life. 27 years in Japan, 26 years in Korea, and 1 year in New Zealand. I would like to convey the wonderful history and culture of Japan that I have felt during my life in Japan, as well as the refined manufacturing and delicious Japanese food that have been born from it, in a more understandable way, sometimes from a foreigner’s perspective. I will guide you through the World Heritage Sites of Miyajima and Peace Memorial Park, as well as Hiroshima’s representative local foods, okonomiyaki and oysters. I will introduce you to the charming towns of nearby Onomichi, including the temples and Saijo’s traditional sake brewing, which is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
