    Excellent tour of Hiroshima with Ms. Okura as guide.

    Marvin_H, May 2025
    Memorable. Every one should see it to know the horrors that took place. Guide was a second generation survivor of the bombing. Brought up similar feelings of my visit to the Holocaust museum in DC. Very informative and hope you get Ms. Okura as your guide.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you very much for sharing your heartfelt impressions. We truly appreciate your thoughtful words and are grateful that the experience left a meaningful impact. Having a second-generation survivor like Ms. Okura as your guide adds a deeply personal and important perspective, and we’re glad her insights resonated with you. Your comparison to other solemn places of remembrance reflects the seriousness of the history here, and we’re thankful that you approached the tour with such empathy and respect. Thank you again for visiting Hiroshima and for recommending Ms. Okura. We hope the experience stays with you in a meaningful way. Warm regards, Minami

    A Profoundly Impactful Experience with an Amazing Guid

    Takeshi met us on-time at the exit gates for the Shinkansen and was super helpful in quickly finding a place to store our bags before we departed to begin our tour. We took the street car to the Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park and Museum (including the Children’s Peace Monument) where he shared thoughtful personal insight and background that amplified the impact. Takeshi has spent his career focused on helping Hiroshima survivors before taking a new career as a tour guide. His family’s personal connection, including his mother and grandparents as survivors, added depth to the experience. We had okonomiyaki for lunch across the street from the prefecture office where he used to work. It was delicious and can be tailored to your taste. We then walked by the hypocenter (directly below where the blast occurred) next to the hospital, rebuilt in the same place, on the way to Hiroshima Castle where we also saw a Chrysanthemum exhibit and food festival that happened to be scheduled that weekend. We saw a K-Pop group performing and the castle tower before returning to the station to pick up our luggage. Takeshi provided great directions for us to get to our hotel on Miyajima taking a local train and ferry.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly grateful to hear how meaningful your tour with Takeshi was. His personal connection to Hiroshima’s history, along with his decades of work supporting survivors, brings a unique depth and authenticity that we are honored to share with our guests. We’re glad his insights, guidance, and care helped enrich your visit to the Peace Memorial Park and Museum. It sounds like you enjoyed a wonderful variety of experiences—from okonomiyaki lunch to the Chrysanthemum exhibit, festival, and Hiroshima Castle—and we’re happy Takeshi could help you navigate everything smoothly, including your journey to Miyajima. Thank you again for choosing our tour. We hope your time in Hiroshima leaves lasting memories, and we’d be honored to welcome you back anytime. Warm regards, Minami

    Best tour in Hiroshima!

    Sel_B, Mar 2024
    Naoko Koh's tour of Hiroshima was absolutely incredible! She was extremely kind and her English was great! We could immediately feel her passion for Hiroshima and the importance of what happened there. She wasn’t just a tour guide because she genuinely cares about what took place. She completely tailored the trip to our unique time constraints and made sure we got the best experience possible. She even sped walked with us the whole time to see all the sights. She was very knowledgeable about all the details of the happenings and events and could explain them to us in a very positive way. She consistently spoke about learning for the tragedy and about peace. She made the experience extremely memorable for us. Don't miss out on this amazing experience with Naoko.
