5.00We were so grateful for Masahiko and really enjoyed this tour. From start to finish, he organized everything beautifully, communicated rapidly and professionally, and made the day everything we'd hoped. He also has such an authentic working knowledge and lived experience with the sites and areas on the tour, that it made everything all the more meaningful.

5.00We had an excellent day touring Hiroshima and Miyajima with a wonderful guide.Eri. We really enjoyed visiting the Peace Park, seeing the deer at Miyajima, and doing the walking tour of ground zero. The monument and museum were confronting and very emotional, but absolutely worth visiting. Our guide Eri was knowledgeable, respectful, and explained everything clearly, which made the experience even more meaningful. It was a very well organised and unforgettable day. Highly recommended.
A memorable mixture of the stunning and the sobering.

5.00We had a wonderful day, exploring the Peace Park and surrounds in the morning, then visiting the Miyajima Island attractions - Otorii gate shrine and DaishoinTemple everything was beautifully curated by our thoughtful English speaking guide, Tomoe. We really benefited from having a guide who had extensive historical and location knowledge. Thank you Tomoe!
