The contrast of the green of Mt. Misen behind the lacquered shrine pavilion and the blue of the Seto Sea is beautiful and evocative of the underwater palace of Ryugujo.

Great Day in Hiroshima

5.00It rained the entire day but that didn’t ruin our day with our fabulous guide Kay! Her English was wonderful and she gave us so much information on the bus and throughout the tour. Our train ran late but everything ran smoothly we didn’t miss anything which was much appreciated. My favourite part of the day was the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. The only fault was it wasn’t enough time and we didn’t want to leave. would highly recommend and would do another tour with Kay or Sunshine Tours.
Very informative and an amazing tour guide led to the tour being very fun and productive

Engaging, Insightful, and Family-Friendly Tour with Takeshi

5.00We had an incredible experience with our tour guide, Takeshi, a Hiroshima local who brought both Miyajima and the Peace Memorial Park to life for our family. His knowledge was outstanding. He shared history, stories, and local insights in a way that was both meaningful and easy to understand. What really stood out was how well he connected with my two boys (aged 15 and 10). Keeping teenagers engaged for a full-day tour is no easy feat, but Takeshi managed it effortlessly with his friendly personality and interactive approach. The balance between education and enjoyment was perfect, and we walked away with a much deeper appreciation of Hiroshima’s history and culture. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you can book it with Takeshi. He truly made our day unforgettable.
A interesting experience in Hiroshima

5.00It was a day well spent. Mijajima was absolutely beautiful. The deer were a fun surprise and I highly recommend the oysters. Hiroshima was certainly a more sobering experience, but Takeshi, our very informative guide, handled it with care and respect. Really enjoyed this tour and I suggest that you consider it yourself.
