Memorable Hiroshima

5.00I highly recommend this tour. Shimizu, our guide, was exceptional — friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. During the day, we visited Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Atomic Bomb Dome, and Itsukushima Shrine. We also stopped for a delicious okonomiyaki lunch, which was a highlight of the day. Shimizu made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour and even suggested an extra stop for photos at Shukkeien Garden. A truly memorable experience!

5.00We had a full-day private Hiroshima tour with Yamada, including a visit to Miyajima Island, and it was fantastic. Yamada explained Hiroshima’s history with great knowledge and sensitivity, making everything easy to understand and deeply meaningful. Miyajima was beautiful, and his insights made the experience even more special

5.00We had a wonderful day with Akiko, despite the rainy weather. She guided us to beautiful sites such as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and museum. When the rain prompted us to skip Miyajima, Akiko expertly suggested perfect alternatives that kept our day both memorable and special. She also gave us helpful local shopping tips and took some great photos of us to remember the visit. Highly recommend booking a private guide and especially Akiko!

5.00The company hired a car for us and we were lucky to avoid moving in the rain. Atsushi was an excellent guide. He brought along a thoughtful, hand-made booklet with the history of each place we visited, which made the tour feel very personal and informative. He was patient, friendly, and kept us thoroughly informed about every destination on the itinerary. The experience was highly recommended and truly personalized. PS: transportation cost is not included in the tour fee charged here.

5.00What an incredible day in Hiroshima! Oki was such a thoughtful and patient guide, making sure we got the most out of every stop. We explored Peace Memorial Park, visited the Atomic Bomb Dome, and strolled through Shukkeien Garden, all of which were beautiful and moving. We omitted Miyajima due to the cruise ship leave time. Private car is a must to be time-efficient.
Excellent guide

5.00Shiori (sorry forgot the first name of her) was personal and professional in all aspects of her tour! In our time with her we were able to visit all the key sights she presented to us in advance, from the Peace Memorial Park and Atomic Bomb Dome to beautiful Shukkeien Garden and Miyajima with its iconic floating torii gate. Even with plenty of walking, a tour with Shiori is one I highly recommend.

5.00I had an excellent private shore excursion in Hiroshima that was perfectly paced for our cruise schedule and very well organized from port pickup to return. Our guide Atsushi was friendly, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable, guiding us through the Peace Park, museum, Miyajima Island, and Itsukushima Shrine while also arranging tickets in advance to save time. With a comfortable private vehicle and smooth planning, the tour made exploring Hiroshima both meaningful and stress-free.
