    Masa san is an excellent guide. She made us feel like we were touring Hiroshima with a friend. My friend and I were fortunate to experience Hiroshima through Masa san’s knowledge and it made our visit very special. I highly recommend any tour with Masa san.

    Our tour to Miyajima Island was an unforgettable experience, made even better by our amazing guide. Not only was the island breathtaking, but our guide truly brought it to life with local stories, history, and deep knowledge — all shared in excellent English. They were warm, kind, and professional — clearly passionate about the area, having grown up in Hiroshima. Their insights made the tour personal and meaningful. We felt very lucky to have such a dedicated and thoughtful guide. Highly recommend this tour — and especially this guide — to anyone visiting the region!

    Yuka as an amazing tour guide. She took us to all the main sites, and learned a lot about Japanese culture. Her English was very good as well, so easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

    Our tour guide, Masayo Kobayashi, was utterly brilliant. She was kind, caring, knowledgeable and took care of us like we were the closest of friends. We couldn't have asked for better.

    We had a great family experience with our MASA guide. Extremely professional when doing your job, with the best attitude, patience and kindness. He speaks English perfectly so the tour is much more streamlined and the explanations of the places are more fluid. Unlike other tours we have taken this trip, where it is difficult to understand the English spoken by local guides. The times were perfectly coordinated and we knew the beautiful Island of Miyajima. And we were able to tour the island so special and the shocking temple. Thank you and we definitely recommend it. Don't hesitate to contact Masa.

    Masa was a wonderful tour guide for our half day visit to Miyajima island. She shared a wealth of knowledge about the area, the significance of this holy island, and the culture in general. She also shared personal stories about the history of her family in Hiroshima, from before WW2 and after. She kept us moving at a good pace, always found nice spots to see a special view or cool off and refresh from the heat. If you plan to visit Miyajima, Masa would be an excellent choice! (And make sure to plan yoir visit around high tide on your calendar date, so you can see the floating Tori gate in all its glory.)

  • A Great Private Walking Tour Experience!

    My experience with Masa was a great experience! Her knowledge of the history of Miyajima greatly enhanced my experience as I am a history teacher. The historical details she shared with me enhanced my appreciation of the importance of Hiroshima, historically. She also shared experiences that impacted my view of the use of the atomic bomb as well. Had I the chance to change one thing, is that I would have booked a longer tour and included the Hiroshima Peace Museum and Dome. I hope to return to Hiroshima in the future and take one of her other tours with Masa!

    We had a special trip from Hiroshima to Miyajima. Our guide , Yuka, had a very well-organized schedule. The afternoon walk was beautiful. The island is very vibrant and special. In addition to the floating torii gate, we visited pavilions, temples, and beautiful natural sites. We took some spectacular photos of this experience. Be sure to try the oysters and fried momiji manju! Yuka was very attentive and gave us many food recommendations.

    Masa was absolutely amazing. From the moment we started our tour until the very end. She was kind and friendly, very knowledgeable and she got along with everyone from my 13 year old son who absolutely adored her right through to me and my husband. Her warmth and experience was welcomed and made the experience so much more than a great experience. It was exceptional! If you are in Hiroshima, going on this tour, with Masa, is a must! Thank you xx
