5.00This tour gives you an overview of what hapen in hiroshima during the war, and the amoint of distruction the Nuk-bom caused. It also takes you to a land where you will see beautiful dears "similar to Nara" and a unique shrine. Off-course these type of trips depends on yoir tour guide in explaining and detailing what happens. Our Tourguide "Kensuke Ohguchi" was one of the best tour guide i had, well knowledged, super friendly and kind, and took rally good care of us. And one of the things I mostly enjoyed about this trip is the culture exchange I had with Kensuke between my country and japan I highly recommend this trip
Haunting and rewarding
