Beautiful Hiroshima half day tour

We booked a half day tour of Hiroshima that included a number of the peace exhibits, museum and historical landmarks. Our guide, Emiko-San, was absolutely fantastic, blending precise historical information with family history and stories. We were surprised to learn so much beyond what we had learned in advance from simple google searches, as Emiko gave us an understanding of life in Hiroshima before and after the A-Bomb, from the residents perspective. Another really nice aspect was Emiko asked if we were interested in any souvenir items and took us to a wonderful, authentic and affordable pottery shop that locals shop at as well as a charming paper store that you entered thru the back of a sunglasses store that also was authentic and not touristy. Then we had the most delicious lunch at an off-the-beaten path sushi restaurant. We have taken many similar tours in countries around the world, and both felt this was our absolute favourite based on how well thought out and presented the tour was by both Emiko and our driver. If you are able to book Emiko I would strongly recommend you do, although our mistake was booking a half day tour, if we could do it again we would do a full day.
