5.00We had a great tour with Tomoko Nakayama. She was well prepared and provided detailed information at each attraction. She was very accommodating and flexible with our request to see Tori gate at Miyajima Island during lowest tide. Our group of 5 enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend this tour to all.
Extremely recommended!

5.00The tour exceeded our expectations from The moment we booked, Maki got in touch with us and made sure we got plenty of information and recommendation for our Japan visit. Then for the Hiroshima and Miyajima tour we got amazing Joe as our tour guide, he gave us his recommended highlights took in to account our input and created a detailed itinerary with the times and stops, we were able to accommodate an additional spot which made our day one of the most memorable times of our visit to Japan. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, gave us valuable information while visiting such a moving place like the peace memorial museum, there is no words to describe the mixed feelings you get when being on the spot where a human history tragedy occurred but we are very grateful we had the opportunity of visiting this historical place that is now inspiration for world peace with the guidance of someone born and raised in the beautiful city of Hiroshima, a family member of a victim with a peaceful soul who now radiates love. The memorial museum, the park, the children’s peace memorial, the A-Bomb dome are must see. . We also asked him to take us to the Shukkeien garden which is beatiful. Joe also took multiple nice pictures of us. The Shrine at Mijayima is Breath taking, walking in between ancient architecture Full of values along with nature as the wild deer is a lifetime experience. Joe also gave us a great recommendation for lunch and made sure we were right on schedule not to miss anything. The time we spent with Joe was so joyful that we were sad by the time we said good bye! Thank you so much for showing us your city, your culture and your kindness. Being on this city today showed us how forgiveness and love turns in to beauty even the most atrocious acts.

5.00Mickie was amazing! The tour was well-organized, fun (in the parts that should be fun) and informative (in both the fun parts and the parts that are hard). She puts her school teacher training to use and made us feel well cared for and smarter for spending the day with her. She was right on point with the day that we wanted. Thank you, Mickie!!
Fantastic day at Hiroshima and Miyajima with Kazuko!

5.00Excellent day in Hiroshima and Miyajima! We had Kazuko as our guide and she was fantastic. My mother and I truly enjoyed visiting the Peace Memorial and the Atom Bomb Dome followed by our trip to Miyajima. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and was flexible when we asked her to take us to matcha and anime store spots! In addition to that, we had a great lunch in Miyajima and she then accompanied us back to our hotel at the end of the tour. I'm happy to recommend this tour and Kazuko as your guide! Thank you so much for the positive experience!

5.00Excellent guide, really informative and gave us plenty of time to visit the different areas. We were lucky it's a quieter season and without Harry would have missed lots of amazing opportunities. Harry even made sure we to point us in the right direction for a supermarket when the tour finished to make sure we were OK Our favorite was to eat in a local restaurant and try local food. Thank you Harry so much we really enjoyed our day with you. Couldn't speak high enough!
The Best Day Ever!

5.00We had an unforgettable day exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima, and it was all thanks to our incredible guide, Kazumi. She was warm, personable, and genuinely invested in making our experience exceptional. Kazumi thoughtfully checked the tides to ensure we had the best possible view of the iconic torii gate on Miyajima. She also encouraged us to visit Daishoin Temple—an unexpected addition to our itinerary that turned out to be one of the most stunning and memorable stops of the day. We’re so grateful she insisted! In Hiroshima, we visited Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, where Kazumi’s depth of knowledge truly stood out. She shared the history with such care and insight, making the experience powerful, humbling, and deeply moving. We walked away with a far greater understanding of the impact of that day. Kazumi immediately understood our interests and tailored the tour perfectly to suit us. She went above and beyond in every way—even hand-folding origami cranes for us to donate at the Children’s Peace Monument, a gesture we’ll never forget. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. If you’re fortunate enough to have Kazumi as your guide, your experience will be all the more meaningful and special

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.
