Revealing Hiroshima’s One-of-a-Kind Story
As a nationally licensed guide-interpreter with extensive international experience in Europe and USA, I provide a curated, high-touch exploration of Hiroshima & Setouchi region designed for the discerning traveler.
My practice is built on a unique foundation: I am a 3rd-generation survivor. This allows me to offer an inherited perspective that bridges the historical tragedy of the atomic bombing with our modern, collective pursuit of global peace. I specialize in bespoke itineraries that go beyond the surface, facilitating personal reflection through deep historical context and family legacy stories. My goal is to provide a seamless, intellectually enriching experience in native-level English, ensuring that every guest gains a profound understanding of Hiroshima’s spirit of resilience and hope.

Guide Service in Hiroshima
“Hikari’s tour was the most meaningful experience of our time in Japan. As a third-generation atomic bomb survivor, he shared Hiroshima’s story with such grace, depth, and care that we were moved to silence. Every detail—from timing to privacy—was handled flawlessly. We left not only better informed, but truly inspired to think about peace in our own lives and work.”

“A truly unforgettable experience! I never expected to discover Hiroshima in such a profound, human, and authentic way. It wasn't just a visit; it was a real adventure. Hikari has a very special way of sharing his city, its history, and its culture. I learned so much while discovering places and details I never would have found on my own. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover Hiroshima with curiosity, openness, and emotion. Thank you again for this wonderful adventure.”

Corprorate Interpreter Service in Hiroshima
Matt Green, Corporate Executive, Sydney, Australia
"We brought Hikari on board to help our team connect with some key partners in Hiroshima, and honestly, he was fantastic. His English is perfect, but what really made the difference was how he picked up on the small, unsaid things in our business meetings. He has this global corporate background that helps him bridge the gap between our world and Japanese culture so naturally. He handled complex talks about finance and strategy with total ease, making everyone in the room feel comfortable. If you need someone who can keep up with executive-level discussions while keeping things smooth and professional, Hikari is your guy."
