Hi, This is Pancho(Tetsuo Hamano). Please call me Pancho that only my best friend dubbed me and I love that!
I'm the son of a A-bomb survivor whose father and my grandparents were a couple of miles away from the hypocenter when the Bomb exploded. However, all of them survived and told me some stories about what happened to them. I can share my family stories during my tour.
Another stop of the tour In Miyajima island,Guests able to see/know the secret why these shrine and Great-Torii gate standing on the shore and seeming like floating on water. We will stop some of local place and tips during the tour that makes you wonder and more comfortable your Hiroshima/Miyajima visit. I have food tour experience, so I have some secret recommendation restaurant for you! I have been a tour guide for 2 years since during Covid-situation that I jumped into the tourism industry to make my dream come true. I have more than 400 tours since Oct 2022, hope those experience makes your visit memorable!

5.00A must book tour!!! Pancho is an amazing guide and speaks great English. He answers any questions you may have. The tour goes to one of the most famous temples in Japan. Then you go to peace park, see the A-bomb dome, and the epicenter. Thank you so much Pancho for the great day we had together!!! Best tour in Japan!!!

5.00Excellent tour! Pancho met us at our hotel. We first toured ground zero, hotel was near, then travelled to Miyajima island. He knew the island well, took us to, and explained well, the religous and historical aspects of the temples very well. We were going to see it on our own. If we had, we would have missed 90% of the experience. Then good sushi lunch and a comprehensive tour of Peace Park. He put in very good perspective the effects of the bombing from a Japanese perspective without any editorialising. He was knowledgible, very pleasant, and fun to be with. The tour was well worth the price and we strongly recommend both taking the tour and recommend Pancho. Very good day!
Wonderful Hiroshima experience

5.00Absolutely excellent! Pancho is a Hiroshima native who has a deep knowledge of all the sites we visited. He is an excellent communicator who responds to emails and texts in a very timely fashion. A member of our party had a knee injury and Pancho went to extra lengths to ensure a wheelchair was available for parts of the tour ( be prepared to do a good 12-15 k steps on this tour!) He listened carefully to our interests and planned a flawless tour. Be sure to ask him to take you to a Hiroshima Okonomiyaki restaurant: you won't regret it. Overall we felt very lucky to have this really nice guy as our tour guide who really strived to ensure that our tour was enjoyable.. Highly recommend without reservations.
Enriching Experience!

5.00Our family took Pancho’s tour - ages from the 20’s to 60’s - we all found it incredibly enriching and entertaining (when appropriate). Pancho is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, gave us options yet seemingly effortlessly kept us on a schedule - providing direction along the way for the best experience. Many thanks to Pancho for a profound experience and sharing your family’s stories. We hope to see you again on future tours!
