5.00You have to come to Hiroshima and do this tour to appreciate what happened on 6 August 1945. Tommy was the perfect host and I would like to thank him for a very interesting tour of Hiroshima and explaining the history of the city. Lunch was provided in a local restaurant which was delicious.
A deeply moving and unforgettable tour. Thank you Etsko

5.00I had the privilege of joining this tour in Hiroshima with our wonderful guide, Etsko, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. She was incredibly kind and caring, making sure that we not only saw the important sites but also understood the deep history, suffering, and emotions that Hiroshima has gone through – and still carries in many ways. Etsko shared many stories and personal fates with us, connecting each stop on the tour with the human side of history. It was both heart-wrenching and eye-opening. While the tour was very enjoyable, it also left me deeply thoughtful. Her warmth as a local woman, her empathy, and her dedication to making us feel and understand were simply overwhelming in the best way. What touched me most was her genuine care for us as visitors. She wanted to know more about us, and at the end of the tour, she even gave us a beautiful card with a paper crane and a handwritten message – a gesture that was as moving as the tour itself. Words cannot describe the infinite suffering the people of Hiroshima endured, but Etsko managed to convey this in a way that was both powerful and deeply personal. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hiroshima. Thank you, Etsko, for this moving and meaningful experience.
Do yourself a favour and book this tour.
