This experience in Hiroshima makes you become an advocate of peace and if possible no to war. Miyajima is a combination of shrine and food tour. Marin explains all the details of the tour. She is fluent in English and very concern on her group.

I really enjoyed the tour. The first half was emotional, but Rino took time to acknowledge our feelings before moving on. I really appreciated that. The second half was fun and exciting. Walking around Miyajima Island and trying all the yummy food was a lot of fun. The oysters and lemon drinks were delicious.

Marin was a wonderful guide for my group’s tour in Hiroshima. The pace of the tour was excellent, as we got to experience both the cultural side with Miyajima and historical side with the Peace Memorial, with plenty of time for learning, experiencing, and enjoying. Marin was the perfect guide for this tour, and this was one of my favorite Panoramic Japan tours I’ve ever done (and I’ve done a few!). Arigato gozaimasu, Marin!!
