Privat Hiroshima Peace Memorial & stadsrundtur med lokal Guide

Our guide Aya was amazing. She spoke fantastic English. Was beyond accommodating to our group. It was a rainy day and she still continued with us despite the rain. We started at the museum because the rain. Her personal stories we poignant. I am very glad we choose a guide as it really truly enhanced the experience. On a side note my father fell and actually broke his hip while walking through the museum and she was beyond helpful in so many ways. Truly a wonderful human. I would absolutely recommend 1000 times yes.

This was a fantastic tour, I would highly recommend. Aya is a terrific guide, incredibly knowledgeable, personable and passionate about peace. We opted to do a tour in Hiroshima so that we could connect with someone locally and get a deeper understanding of the incredible impact that the A-Bomb had on countless people and their families. We greatly enjoyed our visit including the A-Bomb Dome, Peace Museum as well as Shukeien Garden which was absolutely stunning. Aya also went out of her way in the weeks and days ahead of meeting to help with logistics and provide a host of other suggestions for things to do during our brief visit. Truly above and beyond, next level service!

I wasn't sure what to expect from a walking tour of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. I found out about Masa through YouTube, which made her laugh when I told her, but this experience completely surpassed anything I could have anticipated. The tour takes you through the Peace Memorial Museum, the A-Bomb Dome and the Peace Park, but it was the museum that stayed with me most. The exhibits are powerful and deeply personal and they stay with you long after you leave. It is not an easy place to walk through, nor should it be. What truly elevates the tour beyond the exhibits is Masa herself. At certain points along the walk, she shares her own family's story and the direct impact the bombing had on them. Hearing that account, told with quiet dignity and no drama, while surrounded by the evidence of that day, adds a layer of meaning that no book could ever provide. It was a genuine education and a reminder of how little we truly know about this history in our own corner of the world. It leaves you in no doubt about the devastating and lasting impacts of nuclear war, on people, on families, on generations that followed, and you go home with a very different perspective. Our whole group left quietly moved and, honestly, humbled. Masa's generosity didn't stop at the tour either. She was kind enough to offer suggestions on things to do in and around Hiroshima, all of which were wonderful. Our only regret was not getting a group photo with her. Thank you, Masa. You made Hiroshima unforgettable in every sense. Absolutely unmissable.

Yuka was really great and so patient about a late arrival from the train. We spent 2 days with her and it felt like traveling with a friend. For this tour, she knew the exact order to take us around, starting with beautiful Japanese gardens and then to the A-bomb dome, through peace park ending with the Hiroshima peace museum. She shared details you can't get in your own. We even had dinner together at a popular restaurant with locals and enjoyed okonomikaki, which is a regional dish of Hiroshima. I highly recommend her tours!

We had a truly wonderful experience on this Private Guided Tour in Hiroshima. Our guide, Yuca, was warm, sincere, knowledgeable, and very thoughtful throughout the entire tour. The tour gave us many meaningful insights into Hiroshima’s history, and hearing the voices and testimony of an 2nd generation A-bomb survivors was especially moving. Yuca’s guidance helped us understand the history not only factually, but also on a much more personal and emotional level. Her sincerity and dedication made the experience feel very special. Especially visiting an elementary school located within 500 meters of the hypocenter (now a museum) was deeply moving. At the end of the tour, we visited the Peace Memorial Museum on our own. While the museum is undoubtedly important, it was very crowded and felt a little overwhelming after such an emotional experience. For us, the guided tour itself was by far the most powerful and memorable part of the day. This was much more than a typical sightseeing tour. It was respectful, insightful, and deeply meaningful. I would highly recommend this Private Guided Tour to anyone visiting Hiroshima who wants to gain a deeper understanding of the city, its history, and its message of peace. Thank you Yuca🩷

Masayo was an excellent guide. She was a descendant of a survivor and able to share an intimate history of what occurred in Hiroshima. Highly recommend her for a private tour as her knowledge was vast and very friendly.

Masa was a great guide! She does a great job conveying the importance of the events that took place in Hiroshima, and she is very passionate about the history of this city. I recommend her 100%.

Naomi was an excellent tour guide. Super knowledgeable, has direct family connection to the bombing, and probably one of the sweetest and kindest people we have ever met.

Masa has given us a very informative and varied tour of Hiroshima. Her great knowledge and family history fascinated us. Due to their open and accessible nature we could enjoy a great tour. We were allowed the Memorial Museum, Memorial Park, the Cathedral, the Castle and the beautiful Shukkein Garden.

A really top and very interesting visit. Our guide was super, passionate and very attentive. We learned a lot and had a great time. An experience we highly recommend.
