Did the Cycle Hiroshima...

Did the Cycle Hiroshima bike tour and it was a highlight of my time in Japan. Our guide James was an absolute stud of knowledge, and our group soaked it up like sponges. If you like bike tours, look no further. This is the one to book. Easy to recommend. Thanks for a great morning.

Great tour. A must to do in Hiroshima!

Great tour. You will get to see the Peace Park to include the Atomic Bomb Dome. Rino was the guide - awesome! Enthusiastic, friendly, and funny. Allowed enough time to see the sites. Never felt rushed. Miyajima Island was fascinating. Opt for visiting the temple and the shrine versus shopping! Bring your walking shoes. You will get your steps in!

Amazing Tour for Hiroshima

After our cruise stops were changed due to a typhoon, we found ourselves needing to plan what to do in Hiroshima. This tour was PERFECT! It hits the highlights of the city and still shows you so much more than I even realized was there. If you happen to get so lucky to have Minori be your tour guide, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT!! She is the kindest and most thorough tour guide who spent the entire day being flexible and understanding when we had some of our group go back to the boat unexpectedly. She handled all the conversations in Japanese and even asked for permissions for us to skip lines and have extra room. She took us to the most AMAZING lunch place which was a local spot with DELICIOUS food!! The entire group agreed this was the best meal then entire 2 week trip. Minori was an excellent tour guide; but even more than that, she made us feel like her own family. Our day in Hiroshima was exceptional because of her. HIGHLY recommend!! And if you can request her, you are in for a REMARKABLE day. Hands down!!

Kimberly_T, Jun 2026

Great Intro to the Island!

Our guide Kaori met us at Miyajima. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. She was also very flexible with our schedule and took lots of photos of us! Highlights were the Torii Gate and the shrine, and also the Daishoin Buddhist Temple. And we also had free time on the main shopping street. It was just the right amount of tour time for us and I appreciate Kaori customizing to our likes and schedule.

Hiroshima 2hr Peace Cycling Tour with Local Guide

Sarah_T, May 2026

Great tour with e-bikes

We did a cycling tour in Hiroshima with Sokoiko, guided by Shin, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We were quite limited on time as we were heading on to Miyajima afterwards, but the electric bikes and Shin’s excellent local knowledge meant we were able to make the absolute most of the time we had. The pace was relaxed and enjoyable, and Shin gave us a great insight into Hiroshima’s history and modern-day culture in a way that felt personal and engaging rather than rushed or scripted. The e-bikes made getting around effortless, even in the heat, and allowed us to cover much more than we could have on foot. A really enjoyable experience and a fantastic way to see Hiroshima efficiently if you’re short on time. Highly recommended.

Best tour on our trip

Tomoe was absolutely a fantastic guide. She was so knowledgeable and kept us interested the entire day. Weeks before we arrived Tomoe sent us three options for sites to see and worked very hard to personalize the tour to our interests. When we got done our three kids told us that was the best tour on our trip. If you can request Tomoe you won’t be disappointed.

Miyajima Experience

Excellent tour. Hiroshi Tsuji is a wonderful guide. He walked us through the Miyajima shrine explaining what we saw and what it meant. Thanks to Hiroshi, we got to try the local "fast food", Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki for lunch. Amazing! Wonderful day in Miyajima. Thanks, Hiroshi.

Local cuisine and guide made for a unique experience!

This was truly a food and drinking tour focusing on local spots and local cuisine. Yoko was a wonderful guide and has lived in the area most of her life. She joyfully shared some personal stories and by the end we felt like we had known her a long time. This was special. We got to a Saki tasting at the end too!

Terrific tour of Hiroshima

Communication was excellent. Operator was very responsive to communications about our cruise ship arrival and Japanese customs. Our guide Kaz was extremely knowledgeable about the entire Hiroshima history/peace park/atomic dome/ etc. Really a bucket list item for me. Very sobering and disturbing at times but an absolute must see

Japanese Archery Experience HIROSHIMA CASTLE SHARAKU

Robert_B, Apr 2026

Enjoyable Experience

It's a fairly straightforward experience: you're shown how to notch and fire an arrow using a traditional Japanese bow and then have the opportunity to shoot arrows at a target in a friendly mini-competition. I enjoyed dressing up in the traditional garb and would have loved to spent the entire day just doing that. The instructor primarily communicated through a translation app and demonstrated the proper technique. I strongly recommend this experience if you've never done this before and curious about it.
