A truly emotional, beautiful and positive experience

5.00This is a very unique experience. It’s incredibly sad and emotional, but also oddly positive. The visit to Mayijama was absolutely incredible. So beautiful and charming. Our guide “Joe” was so kind and helpful. We highly recommend this experience.
Unmissable tour

5.00Beautiful day; both stops of the tour are absolutely must-do and inevitable for a trip to Japan that is complete. The guided tour helps to include everything in a single day. Our guide Tomoko is a sweet lady, she told us so many things and always made sure that everything was fine. In the end, he even helped us change train tickets. You can see that she does this job with a lot of passion and we would recommend her as a guide.
Quick but thorough

4.00The trip was smooth and well-organized. A staff member was waiting for us at Shin-Osaka Station with our tickets and guided us to the bullet train, making sure everyone boarded safely. When we arrived in Hiroshima, Kane was there to meet us. The bus driver had prepared bottled water for us, and the air conditioning on the bus was a welcome relief on such a hot day. The itinerary covers all the key sights, but time at each stop is limited. It’s a fast-paced day, but everything runs efficiently. If you finish the tour early, there's even an option to catch an earlier train back to Osaka or Kyoto. Overall, I had a wonderful experience!
Tour was good, guide...

4.00Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, making it easy and stress-free to enjoy the day. The bullet train tickets were all arranged for us in advance, and there was always someone to help guide us at the right stations, which made the logistics really simple. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, offering meaningful insights into Hiroshima’s history with sensitivity and respect. Visiting the Peace Memorial Park and Museum was deeply moving — an emotional experience that everyone should have at least once. The pace gave us enough time to explore and reflect without feeling rushed. We were unsure about the Japanese pancake before the tour but after explaining what it was and of course tasting it, we were very glad to have included the lunch option. Miyajima was a beautiful contrast to the morning’s solemnity — peaceful and scenic, with the famous floating torii gate and charming little streets to wander. We appreciated the balance of guided time and free time, especially at Miyajima where we could explore the shops and try local snacks. If you’re looking for a day trip that combines cultural significance with stunning natural beauty, this tour is absolutely worth it. Everything is taken care of — all you have to do is show up and soak it in.
