Tomo-chan !! & Overall Review
sophiakO5147OE,Jul 2, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Tomo is very very nice and such a good soul to be around. As a half Japanese girl, she made me feel included. Even outside being a tour guide, she’s an amazing person. Tomo-chan is very sweet. Unlike some tours I have been on, Tomo-chan seems like she does actually want to be there. The view was incredible. I was aware of the Hiroshima bombing before, but I had no idea it was that horrible; I cried for all the pain the victims went through. The pictures were very graphic, and it really hit me. I want to spread awareness of this. Not just this, but war, weapons, nuclear weapons. I am glad I came on today’s tour (7/2/2026) with Tomo-chan.
Highly recommend

5.00We enjoyed the tour with Tomo! She was kind, helpful and knowledgeable about the areas we visited. The tour was split up between her taking us to specific areas and then giving us free time to explore on our own. Overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend.

5.00Wow! Tomo rocked it. Your English is great and you were very clear. I learned so much about Japan and Hiroshima museum because you emphasized easy to learn tricks. I enjoyed your multiple choice quiz. I only got 1 of 3 right, but I remember them now. Interesting way to learn. I also appreciated learning some Japanese. Arigoto gazaimazu. I may not know how to spell it but can say it now. The island trip was nice. Especially that you went with us. You were gracious with your time. On the bus you were patient and on the island you explained the temple exceptionally well. Overall it was an amazing experience. Btw: the dark room purified my soul. Thank you for your time, tomo. See you soon.
Excellent guide for an 8 hour tour

5.00We had a wonderful full day experience with Tomo our guide for the day. She was engaging and easy to talk to. As she said, talk to her like she’s your friend. Beautiful sites and I liked the balance of walking together as a group and having time to ourselves. We had reserved lunch in advance w/Hiroshima style okonomiyaki and it was delicious. We were a family of 4 with a 15 yo and 19 yo. All of us had a good time.
