5.00We had an amazing tour with Marin. She was very knowledgeable about the Hiroshima history and made sure she had time for everyone. We could not have had a better tour guide! The history of the bombing of Hiroshima was very emotional but valuable experience. Miyajima was very beautiful and interesting. The temple at the end was the most interesting temple I have seen while in Japan, especially being “reborn” after the walk through the dark. I would 10/10 recommend. She even had tips on where to sit on the ferry for the best view! It was worth the trip from Osaka for this day. Thanks for a great day Marin!
