We had a great day with our guide Koji who showed us around Hiroshima and Miyajima island. We had a great lunch and Koji showed us all his favourite spots. Would recommend getting to the Hiroshima peace museum early as it was unfortunately very busy and we didn’t get to spend as much time as we would have liked there (no fault of Koji who tried to give us as much time as possible.) Would definitely recommend.

Great tour, lots of walking but well worth it. Do the museum in morning as it gets crowded. The tour guide was excellent and gave great insight.

Akie was fantastic. In the shortened time we had because of our schedule she was able to get us to all of the places that were important to us. Knowledgeable and very likable she addressed everything in a prompt and professional manner. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing tour of Hiroshima with Kahori. We initially had planned to see the Peace Park & the island, but the weather wasn’t good that day & our cruise ship changed our “back on board” time. That left us with plenty of time to explore the park, museum, AND Orizuru Tower. We also stopped at a local restaurant for lunch. So amazing! We also needed the tour to be accessible because I use a wheelchair & it was!!! I highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, May 2025
Dear valued guest,
Thank you for sharing your experience in Hiroshima with Kahori! We are glad to hear that you could enjoy the tour even though the weather wasn't good. We have accessible tours for wheelchair users in other cities too, so hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!

Though the tickets say ferry included, we had to pay extra. Our guide Aki was nice and informative. We would have liked more time at peace park.
Response from Host, May 2025
Dear Michele,
Thank you for booking our Hiroshima tour and taking your time to write your frank opinion. We are pleased to hear that you were satisfied with our guide, Akie. As she mentioned on the day of the tour, the ferry you took is the World Heritage Cruise(Peace Memorial Park to Miyajima) which is not included in the tour and you need to pay extra on the spot. Since your legs seemed tired, she suggested taking this instead of the ferry which was originally included in the tour(Miyajimaguchi to Miyajima) so that you don't need to walk longer, and you agreed. Sorry to hear that you wanted more time at Peace Memorial Park. We appreciate your constructive feedback and would have it in mind to make our effort to provide a better tour in the future.
We hope to have the pleasure of guiding you on more adventures in the future.
Best regards,
Kyoko

Great guide! She was really informative and was able to fit in a lot in a short time despite all the crowds because of the cherry blossom season. We would recommend.

We met Nagako at the Shinkansen station for our day trip to Miyajima and Hiroshima. She was wonderful! She is so knowledgeable about the history of the areas and was very personal. We all remarked about how sensitive and caring she was, too, while in Hiroshima and visiting the various monuments and the peace museum. It was a very moving experience and we were so glad to have had Nagako there with us!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
