Hiroshima & Miyajima in 1 Day: Private Tour, Licensed Guide

Lyn_E, Oct 2026

A wonderful day in the Port of Hiroshima

Wow what a wonderful day we had in port with Akie to show our group of 8 friends around. We started the day meeting her at the station after clear communication where exactly to meet. Our 1st stop was across to the lovely Miyajima Island where Akie showed us the sights and explained what we were seeing and also allowed us to experience some flavours on the island… delicious!!! What a beautiful spot that we would happily return to. Back across to the mainland for a delicious okonomyaki lunch before the sobering sights of Hiroshima. Akie explained everything we were seeing so well to us all. We then finished the day at the museum able to walk around at our own pace. We all agreed what a wonderful day we had made even better with having Akie as our guide for the day. Her English was very good and her communication with me prior to the day was excellent. Do yourself a favour and book this wonderful tour and if you’re lucky to get Alie as your guide is an added bonus!!

Great overview of the memorial

Tour guide was Daniel, who was very knowledgeable. He is doing a PhD in Hiroshima and his ability to address complexities overall was good. We did not go in the museum, he left that to us later. My understanding is it gives more vivid accounts/ pictures of nuclear attacks and fallout. We did not have time for that. The tour was of the memorial and he did a great job explaining it's history and what each part represents. It is a sober tour, but that is expected given the topic at hand. Very good experience.

Although it was a rainy Saturday day, Rino did a very good job of leading us through the Atomic Bomb Memorial site and then on to Miyajiba island for a great lunch.

Good 2-part tour....

Good 2-part tour. Hiroshima Peace Park was a great place, though it was a little crowded, lots of school children. The Peace Museum has a large permanent exhibition of photos, artefacts and records, maybe take care deciding whether to bring kids here. But for us the real highlight was Miyajima, we would have loved to have spent more time there. Our guide was great, lots of information and interesting stories to share.
