Shin was our guide and did a great job in poor weather. We were supposed to e-bike but because of rain couldn’t. Shin gave a great walking tour that was informative, filled with family anecdotes (as someone who’s family lived during the bomb) and entertaining and respectful at the same time. It was a very well done tour.
Any tourist can use a map and locate the many locations that remind the world of August 1945, but to have guide like Shin takes this to a new level. The many personal experiences from his parents and grand parents left me more inspired than saddened.
We enjoyed a very interesting and informative cycling tour with Shin. He explained the events and aftermaths of the A-bomb in Hiroshima and how it affected his family. He is a great guide and really lives to tell his stories and spread the message of peace.
Karl Was great. Bikes were minimally doable for the price. Seat height could not be adjusted high enough for comfort. Handlebars short and uncomfortable.
I really enjoyed the tour with Shin! He is a very talkative and cheerful person, and I learned a lot from him not only about the history of Hiroshima, but also about the city as it is today. His great sense of humor, funny comments, and personal anecdotes made the whole tour feel relaxed and entertaining while still being very informative. His personal connections to survivors of the atomic bombing added an especially meaningful and personal touch to the experience. The tour lasted around 3–3.5 hours, and thanks to the e-bikes, it was hardly tiring at all. Luckily, I had Shin all to myself, which created a very pleasant and personal face-to-face atmosphere throughout the tour. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Hiroshima’s history while also getting the chance to explore and see some of the city by bike.
Brilliant was to learn about Hiroshima and its resilience, recovery and humanity. Our guide was passionate about the people of the city and their stories.
The e-bike tour was such a great experience. Shin was knowledgeable, very friendly and his personal stories and anecdotes made the tour so special. Everyone should book with him!
Thank you. The story told re: the history was incredible. Nice pace! Very enjoyable
Karl was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and professional. We would highly recommended this bike tour.
Such an important place, I would definitely recommend this tour. Brings you outside the Peace Park as well which tells you real stories of people that passed & the survivors of this disaster. Bring the history to life.
