This was an exceptional and deeply moving tour. Yasue was knowledgeable, courteous, and incredibly patient. She went the extra mile to answer every question clearly and thoughtfully, adding context you won’t get from the signs alone. The pacing was spot on from Peace Memorial Park and the Museum through the Cenotaph, Children’s Peace Monument, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and Orizuru Tower. Logistics were seamless (entries and lunch handled smoothly) so we could focus on learning and reflecting. A sensitive subject delivered with dignity and precision. Highly recommended — Yasue made Hiroshima’s history resonate.

Such a memorable day and tour. See and learn about the history of Hiroshima at a pace that allows you to absorb the enormity of its history. Everything is close by so you see a great deal over the course of the day. The museum is remarkable. Kaori was wonderful. Her personal knowledge was incredible and she was such a pleasure to spend the day with. Always available for a question and kept us moving at a comfortable pace. A very genuine person and a professional as well. Thank you for showing me you city .

Kaz was my tour guide. He was absolutely tremendous. Very knowledgeable of the history of Hiroshima. His English was perfect and easy to understand. I would not want to do this tour with anybody else. I highly recommend taking this tour! The food at the end of the tour was the best I had so far in Japan!
