Outstanding Hiroshima Day Tour with Tomo

5.00Tomo made our Hiroshima day tour truly unforgettable. Her depth of knowledge about Hiroshima’s history — especially the events surrounding the Peace Memorial and Atomic Bomb Dome — was both powerful and thoughtfully delivered. She explained complex historical details with clarity, sensitivity, and balance. What stood out most was Tomo’s ability to connect history with real human stories. The visit to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park felt meaningful rather than rushed, and her insights gave us a much deeper understanding than we could have gained on our own. Beyond history, she shared local perspectives, cultural context, and great food recommendations. Her pacing was excellent — organized but relaxed — allowing time for reflection and questions. She was punctual, professional, and genuinely passionate about her city. If you’re visiting Hiroshima and want more than just sightseeing — if you want context, depth, and a guide who truly cares — Tomo is the person to book.
