Seeking an authentic young guide for Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Museum and Peace Park? I’m Momo, a Hiroshima native who began guiding peace tours in high school. Since 2020, I’ve worked with an NPO as a Peace Education Program Director, primarily guiding Japanese students and facilitating peace workshops—work now featured in Japanese middle school textbooks. My journey to understand peace from diverse perspectives has taken me to Hawaii (2023) to study Japanese immigrant history, to Nagasaki (2024) where I now also guide tours, and to Korea (2025) where I studied the language and visited atomic bomb museums to gain cross-cultural insights. I’ve represented Japan at UN peace events and contributed to the G7 Hiroshima Youth Summit as the only Hiroshima-born participant. Join me to explore Hiroshima’s history and reflect together on world peace. Can’t wait to meet you!
