Thank you so much for your kind comment and 5 stars!! I am happy that your trip turned out to be memorable. I enjoyed chatting with you all and answering your questions. The most unforgettable moment for me was the fact that the deer on the island really liked you. I hope that you can enjoy yourself to the fullest while you are in Japan.

Yuko was amazing from start to finish! She arrived on time and was so patient with me all day! I take a lot of pictures, but never felt rushed...even with it being a little cold outside. We toured the Peace Museum and went to Miyajima Island. We traveled by train, tram and bus. It was an eventful day so be prepared to be engaged and moving. The museum was very moving. The Island was beautiful and would be a great visit for couples! Will definitely return to Hiroshima hands down! Thank you Yuko!

Thank you for your nice comment. Your words are the biggest Christmas present for me. I am glad you took a lot of pictures and I also enjoyed taking our selfies! I am sure that our lunch time turned out to be even more enjoyable with the serving robot at the okonomiyaki restaurant. There are more fun places to visit in Hiroshima, so please come again! -Yuko

YAMASAKI San came with Plan A (by taxi) and Plan B (by public transport). For the almost 7 hours, he described the sights, sounds, history of Miyajima and Atomic Peace Park. Every minute was filled with wonders. His English is excellent. I have been to Japan many many times and he is the best guide. 👍👍👍👍👍

We felt we made the most of our day in Hiroshima visiting Miyojima and the Peace Park with Tom as a very knowledgeable guide with very good English. He fitted in very well with pace and needs, told us a lot about local traditions and way of life and we found him a delightful person.

worst tour guide. Book another!
Gayle_r
, Nov 2019
We just finished our Tour last week. I feel bad because the guide was very nice but acted more as a chaperone to tell what boat to get on than provide knowledge and information about Hiroshima and Miyajima. This is not what we had in mind when we say private tour. I never write reviews,  but this time I had to. -Our guide could not understand everything we were saying - He did not provide many details of what we saw, and in fact was quiet most of the time. - I asked him to explain the history of Hiroshima, and he could not. My husband had to tell our children. We could have just read the signage that was provided next to the sights to get the amount of information we received. You get a private guide so they can make an impact and provide an interesting time. I feel bad, but I just couldn’t wait for it to be over. I tried very hard to get him to engage us, but in the end- it was a flop. We want our money back for sure. On top of everything, as in other tours- they mention cost up front so that we have enough cash to get through the tour- nothing was said. We had no idea we were going to spend $77 to get on a boat. Never was ever discussed - it was assumed we could afford it. Book another! Not worth it. I also called and email the travel agency and I have not heard back!

Thank you for your lovely comment. I had an amazing time with you. I was glad you liked Okonomiyaki at the restaurant where we happened to find on the way to Miyajima Island. That was really exciting, wasn’t it? I enjoyed our conversation and was lucky enough to know new things about your country. I look forward to seeing you again. Yuko

Great tour with great local guide
Jenny_B

We enjoyed this tour, our guide Miyuki was very nice and told us everything there is to know. We chose to visit Hiroshima Castle, Miyajima Island and the peace museum and atomic dome. Please bear in mind that the torii gate on Miyajima island is under construction at the moment, so the gate is not really visible, but the shrine itself is interesting and worth to see as well, especially during high tide. Miyuki was a great guide who told us many stories about life in Hiroshima and Japan in general, and she was prepared for anything, we can completely recommend this tour!

Dear customers, It was a beautiful day for walking to Hiroshima castle. We visited to Miyajima island when the water was almost full. We had to wait for the high-speed boat to depart more than we expected due to the high tide. However, both of you were very patient and waited for the boat to operate. I was touched. The floating shrine was very beautiful and I really like the photo of you inside of Itsukushima shrine. Fixing the torii gate started in June this year (2019). It might take a while to finish fixing. You have a good excuse to come back here in the future. Thank you very much for your kind comment. Until next time! (Miyuki)

Hiroshima?Miyajima
robertm-NY

Excellent tour and tour guide (Noriko)! First part fun and second part sobering. We started first with Miyajima which is a very interesting island with the floating tori gate (though under repairs Aug 2019). Lots of interesting shops and restaurants and deer everywhere. The deer are very fond of anything you have in your hands (plastic bags, food, etc.) or are wearing and will chew on it so keep an eye on them but they are very tame. For lunch, try the okonomiyaki which is a local dishi. Beautiful island and you could easily spend a day there but we spent half a day and then took the fast ferry to Hiroshima port (2000 yen/person but worth it as it saves you time). Hiroshima is a modern city with a lot of reminders of the past including the Abomb Dome which is preserved ruins of a building nearly completely destroyed by the atomic bomb. The Peace museum is nearby and is sobering and in some cases gruesome so I wouldn't recommend younger children going through the entire museum but worth it for teens and older to get a view of the event.. Noriko our guide was excellent and a native of the area and could really give us good insights. Also, she was very helpful with my mother who couldn't walk quite as far and found good places for her to rest at various points.

Great guide but.........
Susanna_W

Our guide Yuko was fantastic and she was very willing to accommodate our requests regarding the itinerary. She also took us to a great place for lunch to try Okonomiyaki. We did, indeed, have a nice day but as far as value for money goes I think this tour was way overpriced. It cost us around $US330 ($AUD480) and then we had to pay for all our transport costs (AND our guides) and entry fees. I think we could have done this tour on our own for a lot less.
