Experience Hiroshima with a small, heartfelt tour (max 3 guests) that feels like spending the day with a local friend. We will visit Hiroshima’s two UNESCO sites—the Peace Memorial Museum and Itsukushima Shrine—with a schedule tailored to you.
Your Guide:
I am a U.S. university graduate and a Hiroshima government‑licensed guide who has led over 170 tours. I have also welcomed guests from around the world as a host mother. This tour is designed and guided by me from start to finish.
Travel by Car:
Avoid crowded trains, slow streetcars, and the extra expense of high‑speed boats. I will pick you up anywhere in Hiroshima City.
About Cash:
You won’t need to take out your wallet to pay transportation and entrance fees in Japanese yen. All necessary tour costs are included, so you only need to bring enough for your lunch, drinks, and any souvenirs.
My goal is simple: I want you to enjoy Hiroshima. Let’s have fun!

What To Expect
Hiroshima
We will meet at your preferred location in Hiroshima City. Details will be arranged through email before the tour. The order of visiting Miyajima (Hatsukaichi City) and the Hiroshima city center will be adjusted flexibly based on your schedule, the weather, and any conditions on the day.
After a 40–50 minute drive, we will park near the ferry terminal and take a short 10‑minute ferry ride to Miyajima. Since the island has very limited parking and the roads are not ideal for cars, we do not cross to the island by vehicle.

Best Tour in Hiroshima

5.00This was the best tour that we took on our trip to Japan! Our tour guide, Tomoyo was amazing and very knowledgeable about the history of Hiroshima. She spent time explaining all the different monuments and even took us up to the temples on Miyajima when we asked. The weather was not the best the day of our tour, but Tomoyo made sure that we still had a great time. She adjusted when we went where to make sure that we had the most enjoyable experience. Also, it was so nice to be taken from location to location in her car instead of need to catch trains during busy times. At the end of the tour she even gave us a paper crane to take home. If you want a great tour with a fantastic guide in Hiroshima, book with Tomoyo!!
Miyajima is a must visit and this tour was amazing!

5.00I’ve taken many private tours and this ranks up there as one of the best. Tomoyo-san was knowledgeable, engaging and thoughtful to tailor the tour to our interests. It was also so helpful to be picked up at our hotel and driven around in her clean and comfortable car. She timed everything so well and took care of all the logistics giving us maximum time to enjoy the sights. Miyajima Island is a must visit spot in Japan - it is not only beautiful with Itsukushima Shrine and its floating torii gate, but also has picturesque shopping streets with amazing food stalls. Tomoyo-san was very flexible and fit in everything we wanted to see even though we stopped at almost every food stall! As we took so long at Miyajima she suggested we do the Peace Museum early the next morning which worked well for us. It was a great suggestion also to avoid the large crowds and she was able to modify our tickets to accommodate this change. On the way back to our hotel she described what we would see and she even made sure to drop us for a few minutes by the Atomic Dome for pictures. It’s wonderful to have such a delightful local guide and I highly recommend this tour with Tomoyo-san.
The Best Day Ever in Hiroshima!

5.00For our time in Hiroshima, we were looking for an opportunity to experience this city with someone who lived here and the "Hiroshima City Center Pickup: Miyajima & Peace Park Tour with Car" exceeded our expectations. From the moment we made our initial booking we were made to feel like family. This experience offered was exactly what we were looking for, right down to being driven from Hiroshima to Miyajima Island in the most spacious and comfortable kei car that we have ever had the honour to ride in. Our day on the island created memories which we will treasure and share (brag) about when our friends ask us about what we did in Hiroshima. Thank you Tomoyo, for a glorious day! (especially the weather!)
