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 tour and visit to Hiroshima. Our guide, Toshi, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The Peace Memorial and museum was a harrowing experience, but very powerful. And the island of Miyajima was beautiful.

5.00My family of 4 (2 adults and 2 adult kids ages 25 and 22) had an amazing day in Hiroshima! Our tour guide Eri was great! She took us to Miyajima Island, the Peace Park, the Atomic Dome and the Museum! She also took us to the best Hiroshima Okonomiyaki lunch! It was a 2nd generation owned establishment so the experience felt so authentic! Eri’s passion about teaching the history of this city was evident and made this tour unforgettable. Thank you Eri!!
Be sure to visit the Hiroshima Peace Museum!
