Konnichiwa (Hello) from Hiroshima!
This tour covers all the must-see spots in Hiroshima in just one day, running from around 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
We basically use public transportations (trains and ferry / NO private car), because we want you to enjoy the local lifestyle here.
Led by a local guide with deep knowledge of Hiroshima’s history during the war, you’ll experience the authentic story firsthand.
A highlight of the tour is Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its stunning torii gate that appears to float on the sea at high tide. This iconic shrine, deeply tied to Japan's Shinto tradition, is one of the country's most beautiful and renowned landmarks.
In addition to visiting Hiroshima’s famous sites, we’ll take you to hidden local spots related to the atomic bombing that are known only to locals—places you won’t find on the internet.
The tour is flexible and can be tailored to your preferences. If there are any other places you'd like to visit, just let us know at any time!

Yuta - san is amazing. Communication via the app was excellent on the days leading up to the trip. We met up in my hotel lobby. From the start I said lets just make it like he showing one of his college friends around - which removed a lot of the formalities. Although he is completely fluent in English, he allowed a blend of Japanese and English for me to get some practice in. I was amazed with breadth of knowledge he had about MiyaJima Island. From historical facts to current events. We got the rare experience of watching a sort of child blessing ceremony ( he provided the name, but I forget). He allowed me to ask as many questions as I liked. Never felt rushed. He coyly asked me about foods (vegetables, meats, allergies) during our tour; which ended up with us at this slamming Okonomiyaki restaurant in Hiroshima. He gave very detailed explanations about key historical locations. We ended up at the Peace Memorial Park/Museum - which was moving. I thought we would start there, but I am glad he had foresight not to. Overall Yuta san i professional, knowledgeable, and super respectful young man. And I would absolutely go with him again. Lastly, I was impressed that he paid attention to details of my Japanese learning journey as I mentioned i was reneweing my dedication to learning Kanji. At our parting he handed me Polaroid picture with some personnel writing on it with lots of Kanji. I don’t know what it says (yet), but I thought it a nice touch to remember this detail

This was an amazing private tour with an amazing guide (Yuta). It was a rainy day, but Yuta made the best out of it and time just flew by so fast. We went to Miyajima Island and visited the Atomic Bomb museum/memorial and he took us to a great Okonomiyaki place for lunch. Everything (transportation, tickets) was prepared. No waiting in lines. The best part was that he is very easy to go along with, very flexible, helpful, pays attention to your needs. His English is excellent and he has great communication skills. We had great conversations and shared many travel experiences and talked about culture differences between Japan and western countries. He is the type of guide you look for when you truly want to learn about a country. We wish we had him as our guide in other tours. He was one of our highlights if not The highlight of our trip in Japan. Would recommend it to anyone who really wants to learn about a culture and share experiences. What a day...

The private tour was amazing! Definitely a five-star! Not only for the visits to the A-bomb memorial and Miyajima, but also for Yuta-san (the tour guide). The places are amazingly beautiful, informative and full of history, and Yuta-san made us feel very comfortable during the entire experience. He was very flexible in meeting us at our hotel, gave us many information not only from Hiroshima, but from Japan in general, and took great photos along the way. We highly recommend it!

Everything was very memorable from meeting Yuta, our tour guide to walking around the city and island, eating lunch, shopping, going with a ferry, visiting places and taking public transportations. Amazing experience and pleasant time to have! We were blessed to have Yuta.
