It was a very pleasant tour. My guide knew exactly where to go and where to get good pictures and had a lot of information to share about each spot. Thanks to that I understood a lot mor significance of the things i saw. We did the tour in japanese so it was very good practise but she also spoke very good english if we ever hit a snag in our communication. Overall a fantastic walking tour.
Absolutely amazing tour! 100% recommend going on the tour if you are in Hiroshima. Marin was a fantastic tour guide!

Loved the tour and the guide! Marin was very easy to talk to and was very knowledgable about Hiroshima history. A great way to spend 2-3 hours and learn about Shukkeien Garden and Hiroshima Castle!

After such an incredible experience the first time, I just had to join Marin for another tour. We explored the stunning Shukkeien Garden and Hiroshima Castle, and once again, Marin exceeded every expectation. What makes Marin so special is her ability to tailor the atmosphere to the setting and her unique energy. In the serene Shukkeien Garden, she shared fascinating insights into the 'miniature landscapes' with such poise, allowing us to truly soak in the tranquility. At Hiroshima Castle, she brought the samurai history to life with her trademark sharp intellect and vibrant storytelling. Even after another half day, her energy remained infectious. She has this rare gift of making history feel personal and present, never like a dry lecture. Wabi-Sabi! Sharing this experience in a smaller group felt like exploring the city with a deeply knowledgeable friend. If you are in Hiroshima, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Marin. Whether it's the heavy history of the memorials or the cultural beauty of the gardens, she makes every hour feel like a highlight of your trip. I’d join her for a third tour tomorrow if I could!

Mo picked us up from our hotel and gave us a fantastic, personalised tour of the atomic bomb sites, taking us places we never would have found on our own. Beyond the tour experience itself being 5 stars, Mo was a 5 star person and I loved getting to know her too on our tour. Highly recommend!
