Yuta

Konnichiwa! I'm Yuta, the guide and founder of IKIGAI.

I created IKIGAI because I wanted to share the essence of IKIGAI with people from all over the world. My passion lies in exploring Shinto, Japanese shrines, and the deep spirituality of the Japanese people.

I currently live in Yuki Town, a beautiful countryside area in Hiroshima, known for its natural hot springs.

I can’t wait to explore Japan’s deep culture with you and help you experience its hidden wonders firsthand!

    Kana

    Hi, I’m Kana!
    I’m from Kagoshima and now live in Hiroshima.
    I love good food, yoga, listening to classical music, and going to music festivals. Lately, I’ve also been into world history.
    If you’re visiting Hiroshima, I’d love to welcome you like a friend! I’ll share not only warm, personal stories but also help you understand the deeper history behind this city.
    Looking forward to guiding you!

      Tommy

      I am originally from Osaka and moved to Etajima, an island in Hiroshima Prefecture, and now work as a videographer and a history tour guide in Hiroshima.

      My grandfather was originally from Etajima, which inspired me to move here in search of my roots and lifestyle in the countryside. I have been captivated by the breathtaking Seto Inland Sea views from Etajima and truly enjoy island life. I hope to share Japan’s natural beauty and local way of life with more people.
