My name is Maria, and I’m currently living in the heart of Hiroshima — a city that carries the weight of history and the warmth of hope. I work as a tour guide, where I have the incredible opportunity to take visitors on a journey through time. I share the powerful stories of Hiroshima’s past, Miyajima Island, just a short trip from Hiroshima, is famous for its breathtaking floating Torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine. Wander through peaceful streets, taste fresh oysters and sweet momiji manju, and meet the friendly deer that roam freely. For adventure, hike up Mount Misen for stunning views of the sea. A magical mix of culture, history, and nature—Miyajima is truly one of Japan’s most unforgettable islands.
