Originally a post-town during the Edo Period, Saijo has grown into one of the main “Sake Capitals” of Japan. The climate and water of this area allow for the production of excellent sake of the highest quality. Seven breweries in the town continue to producing sake using traditional techniques, providing many insights into Japanese culture. A bit further east of Saijo, one can find the picturesque city of Onomichi. The temples, hills and stone paths around the city create the beautiful scenery which has bestowed Onomichi the title of “miniature garden.” This location is not only beautiful, but also rich in history and culture. Within, one can visit temples such as Senkoji and Saikokuji, both Buddhist temples which provide some insight into Japanese religion and the city’s past. One of these temples is located at the top of a mountain and can be accessed via ropeway, providing a stunning view of the city landscape.

Hiroshima in a Nutshell: Morning Bike Adventure

Michael_S, Jun 2026

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!

Powerful Journey Through History, Resilience & Beauty

What a surreal experience this was. Our guide was outstanding and truly went above and beyond to make it a memorable day for us. Visiting Hiroshima was a genuine bucket-list experience. Being there in person makes you realize the true scale of the events that took place. What we read in history books as children or watch in documentaries can never compare to standing at the Peace Memorial and experiencing it firsthand. The city carries a deep and painful history, and there is certainly much that world leaders can learn from its past. At the same time, Hiroshima is a remarkable example of resilience—rising from the ashes to become the vibrant and thriving city it is today. Miyajima was equally beautiful, with the deer freely roaming around and the stunning scenery all around. Our guide’s knowledge, insights, and understanding of the area made the experience even more special. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

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!

Hiroshima Peace (Heiwa) Walking Tour at World Heritage Sites

Greg_C, May 2026

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.

Hiroshima Peace Park & A-Bomb Dome Private Walking Tour (4 Hours)

Woodinville_W, Apr 2026

A customizable tour that was great for 2 older couples seeing the sights.

We are 2 couples in our 70's. We don't walk fast, we don't hear well, we are not adept at figuring out the buses in a strange town in a foreign language. So - a professional guide is a great help. Added to that is that we get to meet a local person and hear more about the area than we ever would traveling on our own. And the price, compared to a big HAL bus tour, is quite competitive. We went to the garden - which was beautiful - and Kazuko explained the history and significance of the layout (like climbing Mt. Fuji and the survivor tree) - things I might never have known if I were on my own reading the signs. She then walked us to a bus stop with an incomprehensible to me schedule sign, and told us our bus would be there in 10 minutes, and it was. We went to the Atomic Bomb Dome memorial and she walked us around there. She found a great place for the old folks (us) to rest and get some ice cream. She then led us through the museum, having prepped us about 3 special exhibits she highlighted. The museum had a bigger crush of people than we are used to, it was worse than visiting the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel. Kazuko guided us through the crush and showed us some key exhibits, and got us out of there in one piece. She was great. She got us into a cab headed back to the correct dock for our ship. It made for a perfect day for us. I'm sure younger folks could cover more ground. The tour can be customized to fit the fitness and ambition level of the group you are with.
