What are people saying about Hiroshima

Siddharth_S, Jun 2026

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.

An excellent tour from...

An excellent tour from Sakura, with support from her lovely sidekick Marin. Really great tour, taking you on a journey from the very sobering and unforgettable Hiroshima experience, around to the lighter experience of Miyajima island and it's local delights. Both Sakura and Marin are an absolute delight to be guided by, possess an excellent level of English, and are a credit to your company. Would not hesitate to attend another tour!

Storytelling brought Hiroshima to life

Our guide, Gordon, made this experience so much more meaningful with his storytelling. He brought us back to 1945 as if we had been residents living through this horrific time. Whether on the bridge, at the dome, museum, the Peace Park, the other historic sites, he totally enriched our experience. Seeing groups of students honoring those gone and advocating for peace was wonderful. History came to life on this tour. The museum, though, is not for the faint of heart. Be prepared….

A Powerful Look at Hiroshima’s Past and Resilience

This walking tour was very informative! Our tour guide “Nisa” was excellent in explaining the history of the relationship between US and Japan. She explained the events leading to the A-bomb, the effects, the resiliency and the restoration efforts of the people in Hiroshima. If you’re visiting in June be aware of the heat. Bring water and a sun umbrella. There’s a cafe within the region to get drinks and snacks/lunch. There lots of restaurants in the area for after the tour. Loved this tour and a must do!

Fabulous tour from a local guide that went above & beyond

Mari was an outstanding guide. Not only did she give us an educational tour that benefited from her local knowledge, she included a visit to an excellent okonomiyaki restaurant for a tasty, local lunch, taught us origami, gave us a 5.5hr tour that should only have lasted 4hrs to ensure we saw all the principal sights of Hiroshima as well as guiding us back to our hotel so we didn’t get lost. She took lots of photos that she sent to us after our trip. Plus, ensured we knew exactly where we needed to be the following morning to join our next trip. Our thanks to the perfect guide. Mari made our trip to Hiroshima truly unforgettable.

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.

Hiroshima Peace (Heiwa) Walking Tour at World Heritage Sites

Debra_K, May 2026

This tour is special!

Out guide, Hika, is a second generation survivor of the A Bomb. This tour ended up being a private tour and Hika made sure we saw all of the important landmarks and monuments. He was able to connect the events with his own experiences and family history as well. This tour was a good blend of walking tour of monuments with some unstructured time in the museum. We also went to a rooftop observation deck and learned how to make an origami crane, a symbol of peace. We were able to drop our cranes into a community art exhibit you can see on the outside of the building. The theme was Peace and passing on the important story of Hiroshima to others so it is not repeated. Hika then accompanied us for a delicious lunch where he told us more about his lived experience. Don’t miss this!

Hiroshima Peace & History Tour: Why the Atomic Bomb Was Dropped

Paul_K, May 2026

Very Worthwhile

This was a very comprehensive and thorough overview of Hiroshima starting with what came before WW2, the war itself, and the aftermath as a result of the dropping of the A Bomb. Our guide Kevin provided excellent historical context to the subject matter. He is very passionate about the information he is providing. Since we ended up being a very small group ( just my wife and I ), we also had the benefit of a little more perspective on how the people have moved on since WW2, specifically concerning how the local baseball team fits in. Overall a very wonderful experience dealing with a very difficult subject.

Great guide, Cesar, for a great tour.

This tour had all the sights and sounds and smells anyone would need on that special island and then to come back to Hiroshima City Center for the monuments tour was exceptional. Cesar, our guide, was efficient in his knowledgeable explanations and his guiding of us. Hiroshima and its nearby island will forever be in our hearts and mind's eyes.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial and Atomic Bomb Dome Private Tour

Troy_L, Apr 2026

Essential Hiroshima experience.

We had the absolute privilege of experiencing the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park through Khan’s private tour, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Khan brought history to life with a level of clarity that you can’t get from guidebooks or self-guided walks. Every stop felt meaningful—each story thoughtfully shared, balancing historical context with personal humanity in a way that was both deeply moving and respectful. Khan was attentive to our own reasons for visiting this very special site. He created space for reflection while gently guiding us through the park’s most powerful sites, ensuring we not only understood what happened, but felt the importance of remembering it. His knowledge was exceptional, but it was his sincerity and empathy that made the experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting Hiroshima, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Khan. It will profoundly shape your understanding of the city’s history and leave a lasting impression long after you’ve left. Highly, highly recommended.

Jorge was the highlight

Let’s start with the negatives, we did not get our tickets until 12hours before the bullet train, but that was the only bad thing.

The information he provided for both sites plus life as a Japanese man was very useful, he gave history and then stories on how that history was forged, Ok and for the trip, Miyajima And the floating Tori gate was great, The shrines and temples, and the food all great. Hiroshima and peace park, Jorge had so much historical knowledge and really opened my eyes, Overall for anyone who is interested In Hiroshima book this tour but ask for Jorge.
