    It was our first trip to Hiroshima and we wanted to learn as much as we could about the city and history. Our tour guide Ami was wonderful and so knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time with her and thankful she took such time and patience. Thank you Ami!!

    Naoka was truly remarkable- a second generation survivor of the bomb herself- she provided a wealth of information you can’t get on most tours. On top of which- she was a genuinely kind and hospitable person.

    Hiroshima Peace Memorial Tour

    Our guide, Gordon was incredible. He went above and beyond. The tour was amazing; he took us to several places around the peace memorial and was extremely knowledgeable about every place. He was able to answer all of our questions with ease. Even after the tour was over, he took us to one of his favorite spots for lunch and we had a traditional Hiroshima lunch, which was fabulous. He exceeded our expectations in every way. I would highly recommend this tour and Gordan to anyone who is traveling to Hiroshima.

    Peace Park Memorial

    This was a great tour. Gordon was a super knowledgeable and helpful guide!

    This was a lot more informative than just going through the museum. The peace park part of it was very interesting

    Had a great time!

    Ariana_K, Aug 2025

    Powerful Experience

    Touring with Takashi was a great pleasure. He was helpful, knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. His personal connection to the event added to the day’s significance. It was a powerful experience for all of us.

    Must Experience for Any Trip to Hiroshima

    Brooks_D, Jul 2025
    A deeply informative and moving day. Our host struck a brilliant balance between teaching and honoring those affected - now and historically - by this horrific event.

    Gordan is the amazing

    Peter_T, Jun 2025
    From the moment our tour began, Gordon proved to be more than just a guide—he was a storyteller, a historian, and a compassionate bridge between past and present. His deep knowledge of Hiroshima’s history, culture, and resilience transformed what could have been a simple sightseeing trip into a profoundly moving and enriching experience. Gordon masterfully balanced the solemnity of Hiroshima’s past with the beauty and hope of its present. At the Peace Memorial Park, his respectful and heartfelt narration brought the stories of survivors to life, honoring their memories while emphasizing the importance of peace and understanding. He didn’t just recite facts—he shared perspectives, asked thoughtful questions, and created space for reflection. If you’re visiting Hiroshima and want more than just a tour—if you want a meaningful, memorable journey—ask for Gordon. He doesn’t just show you the city; he helps you understand its soul.

    Historical event

    Isabel_V, May 2025
    Very informative historical place which affected Hiroshima city, culture and people during Atomic Bomb period

    The most incredible tour

    Hayley_R, Apr 2025
    This tour was the most amazing and humbling experience. Yumi was the most incredible guide, who made the tour a stand out moment of our trip. We will never forget this experience or Yumi. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

    Atomic Dome Tour

    Jeremy_H, Apr 2025
    Our guide Ami was very kind and knowledgeable. She took us around the Peace Park and through the musuem and also made a great suggestion for lunch. Thanks

    Wonderful experience

    Doreen_Z, Mar 2025
    Very succinctive overall educational and emotional experience. Hiroyuki, our guide, was excellent, as was his mother, who accompanied him. They were very friendly, informative and hospitable guides.

    We stayed on our hunger.

    Johanne_M, Jun 2025
    Our guide Friend was very kind but very reserved. We would have liked more information about the history and events in general. It took us to the different sites but unfortunately we didn’t feel like we learned much more than we saw at the museum. In addition, our guide arrived on time at the meeting place. We would have liked her to be there 5 or 10 minutes in advance because we were not sure we were in the right place.

We have forwarded your review to the guide so she can do better the next time. Anyway, we hope you had a great time in Hiroshima and wish you a wonderful journey ahead.
