Beautiful day in Hiroshima with Naoko (Now)

Walking was very reasonable but we didn’t include the hike up to the rope bridge which would be challenging for some people. Miyajima was a great experience and Peace park and museum were moving experiences. Our guide Nao was absolutely terrific and is a special lady thank you so much for spending the day with us!!

Operator response

Full day in Hiroshima with an excellent guide!

Our guide, Maki, was amazing! During our time at the Peace Memorial she provided valuable insight on the people of Hiroshima, their resilience and determination to rebuild and prosper. Maki was very accommodating to our needs as my mother has difficulty walking long distances. She arranged taxis for us and customized our tour perfectly. Our visit to the temple was also interesting and fun as Maki explained to us about all of the different gods. I highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Maki as your guide you will not be disappointed.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that Maki made your time in Hiroshima meaningful, comfortable, and enjoyable. We are especially pleased that her explanations at the Peace Memorial gave you deeper insight into the resilience and determination of the people of Hiroshima. It is also wonderful to know that she was able to customize the tour for your mother, arrange taxis, and ensure that everyone could enjoy the day at a comfortable pace. Thank you as well for your kind comments about the temple visit. We will be sure to share your generous feedback with Maki. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we truly appreciate you choosing our tour.

Tour of Hiroshima

We had an excellent tour of Hiroshima Peace Park and the temple at Miyajima. Our guide, Nao, was the absolute best. Excellent English and her knowledge of the the area and organization was perfect. We used a combination of taxis, trains and trams to see the sights. It took eight hours to see Miyajima, have lunch and see the peace park and museum. Well worth the time.

Operator response

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so glad to hear that Nao provided such an organized and insightful experience. Navigating the taxis, trains, and trams is part of the local adventure, and we’re happy her coordination made the transition between the tranquility of Miyajima and the history of the Peace Park seamless for you. Eight hours is a full day, but as you said, it is well worth it to see the best of Hiroshima. We’ll be sure to pass your 'absolute best' compliment along to Nao!

Peace Museum tour

This is an essential necessary tour that should be done or necessary for any political aspirants for political office. It’s amazing man’s inhumanity to one another and how this atrocity happened. It’s very painful but a necessary restorative review of our history and very well done by the tour guide we had “Noa” she was knowledgeable and very sensitive to our need from when we first visited miyajima island by ferry and then the peace museum. She was very gracious and knowledgeable and Credit to your company. we enthusiastically endorse the store if there is any curiosity about our shared history this is an essential reflective part of our history that fortunately via Tor has made available to all of us as museums go of the park and the museum are excellent put together.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your powerful reflections. We are deeply moved by your words and truly grateful that you chose to experience this important history with us. Your description captures exactly why these sites matter—because they remind us of our shared humanity and the need for empathy, reflection, and responsibility. We’re delighted to hear that Noa guided you with sensitivity, knowledge, and grace throughout your visit to both Miyajima and the Peace Memorial Museum. She cares deeply about sharing Hiroshima’s history with honesty and compassion, and your kind words will mean so much to her. Thank you as well for your generous endorsement. It is an honor to help visitors engage with such meaningful places, and we hope your experience in Hiroshima will stay with you in a meaningful way. Warm regards, Minami

A wonderful way to see an important city

Our guide, Maki was wonderful. Knowledgeable and kind she also gave us a lot of guidance on transport. My husband uses a rolling walker and she suggested that rather than hire a driver for the whole day at a cost of over $350, she suggested just getting a taxi when needed which saved a bundle! We saw the Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Park and then took the ferry to Setonaikai National Park on an island off the coast with an impressive Shinto Shrine and Tori gate that is in the water since that was the original entrance to the shrine. The tame deer there were cute (but can become pesky) and through luck were able to see a traditional Shinto wedding ceremony while in the shrine itself. All in all a safe, comfortable and fun way to experience Hiroshima.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a comfortable and enjoyable day with Maki. Her kindness, local knowledge, and practical guidance—especially regarding transportation—are exactly the kind of support we hope every guest can experience, and we’re glad it helped make your day smoother and more affordable. It sounds like you had a beautiful combination of history and culture, from the Peace Park and Museum to the serene island in Setonaikai National Park. Seeing the shrine, the iconic Torii gate, the deer, and even a traditional Shinto wedding must have made the day especially memorable. We truly appreciate you choosing our tour and are so happy to hear that it was a safe, comfortable, and fun way for your family to experience Hiroshima. We hope to welcome you back again in the future! Warm regards, Minami
