Message
During my stay in Melbourne and Jakarta I was helped a lot by people there. So I’d like to pay their kindness forward by guiding and helping visitors from abroad. Hiroshima has two World Heritage Sites, A-bomb Dome and Itukushima Shrine. It provides you with an opportunity to think about world peace as well as feel Japanese culture. Come and join me to explore Hiroshima.
