Perfect tour in Hiroshima with Akiko
sarahbZ2315MX,,Dec 25, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Akiko our guide was great. We had a wonderful experience with her in Hiroshima. She was incredibly knowledgeable and customized the tour to enable us to visit the garden and the castle instead of the museum. The okonomyaki shop she recommended was among the best places we had food in during our visit to Japan.
Fantastic day in Hiroshima

5.00We booked this tour at the last minute. Iseki our guide from the company, made the tour just great. We went to Miyajima island which unfortunately was very crowded! We asked to move to the peace park earlier than scheduled and our guide was very flexible. Iseki speaks English well and is very knowledgeable. He also knows good food places, we had the famous friend pancake there.

5.00King Arthur, our guide who introduced us to Busan, South Korea, was organized,, professional, knowledgeable, fun, enthusiastic, and inspiring. Simply a beautiful city, an excellent experience enhanced by our special guide, King Arthur. Also introduced us to an authentic Korean Bar B Q. which he arranged to be ready for us when we arrived which made the experience efficient as wee as delicious.
Oko san was a great guide

5.00Oko san met us at the cruise ship port and head together to Hiroshima peace park. She was very informative, friendly and spoke English very well. She then led us to an Okonomiyaki restaurant and was fabulous. We then moved to Miyajima Island and unfortunately we just had 2 hours there since we had to be back to the port. Oko san is highly recommended guide but spending few more hours in Miyajima would have had made the tour perfect.

5.00This was an enjoyable and informative tour. Akiko (sp?) was an outstanding guide, full of energy, enthusiasm and information. We enjoyed both sites and found Hiroshima to be one of the highlights of our 10 days in Japan. I cannot say enough positive things about our guide, who took great interest in our family, helped us navigate public transportation, and had a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of the region. I would highly recommend this tour if you are planning a day trip to the area.
