While the sights we saw were wonderful and worth visiting we were very disappointed in the guide we were assigned. While he was very nice he spoke very little English and was not able to enhance the experience with “guidance”. We were provided almost no information about what we were seeing. In addition I was surprised we had to pay all fees for the guide as well as ourselves. We did not get the value of a “private” tour
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent tour did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the English communication and the guiding experience. We will review this matter carefully with the guide and us to ensure improvements are made. Regarding the guide’s fees, we understand your concern and will also look into how we can make this clearer for future guests. Once again, we deeply apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our services.
Definitely book Noriko. She met us at the cruise passenger terminal and was extremely knowledgeable about Hiroshima as she lives here. We went to my Miyajima Island via the ferry. She not only knew every detail about the island, she thought ahead and made us reservations for lunch to eat okonomiyaki. And as crowded as the island was, we were very pleased that she did so. She was a true pleasure.
It is profoundly gratifying to receive your remarkably detailed and heartfelt account of your recent experience. We are absolutely thrilled that Noriko proved to be such an exceptional guide, making your excursion truly outstanding. It brings us immense satisfaction to know that her profound local knowledge of Hiroshima, where she resides, was so evident, particularly during your visit to Miyajima Island via ferry. Her meticulous foresight in securing lunch reservations for okonomiyaki, despite the island's bustling atmosphere, clearly demonstrated her dedication to your comfort and enjoyment. It truly warms us to know that her presence was such a genuine delight throughout your day. Your strong recommendation is profoundly appreciated. We will certainly convey your magnificent comments directly to Noriko; she will be absolutely thrilled to learn of her significant positive impact. We deeply appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you back to Japan in the future.
Great tour, moving experience. Our tour guide was most knowledgeable, a subject matter expert. He led us to several hidden gems of the city. He was very accommodating with special requests.

The tour was amazing... Joe emailed us in advance to ask our preferences and came up with a carefully crafted tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we got more out of our short time in Hiroshima than we could have possibly done on our own. He lent a very personal perspective to Hiroshima's history guiding us through the peace memorials and museum before we visited Miyajima. From meeting us at the train station on our arrival to making sure we got back to our Osaka train he was the perfect host and we enjoyed every minute with him.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are very happy that you had an amazing tour experience. It’s great to hear that Joe took the time to understand what you liked and planned the Hiroshima tour just for you. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to see you back in Japan in the future!
Seeing the Hiroshima site and museum was a somber and educational experience. The guide took us to some of the memorials around the city and explained the significance.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are glad to hear that your visit to the Hiroshima site and museum was a meaningful and educational experience. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back to Japan in the future!
Winderful tour with the Miyijima Island and the Peace Memorial Park - especially also the red Tori Gate, floating in the water
Had a very good day with my guide Azusa - and both the Miyajima Island with the floating Toti gate and the shrine was impressing, but also indeed the Peace Memorial Park and the museum
