Excellent informative trip to Hiroshima memorial and museum; an important trip for every person to do. Miyajima was wonderful! Tom, our tour guy, spoke an excellent English. He was friendly, funny, organized and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and the tour.

A solemn experience but difficult to understand tour guide.
Very stark contrast to our earlier tours to Mt. Fuji and Kyoto.

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.

Was very well organised and an enjoyable day.
Our guide Tomoe Ishihara was incredible, she gave us a lot of information about the sights and history. She was very engaging on the bus, shared interesting facts about Japan in general.
She was very thoughtful and came with us to the train station to make sure we managed to change our train departure time. We really appreciated it... arigatou gozaimasu

A very moving first part of the day. Peace Park was a very moving experience. Miyajima was also very interesting.
The guide was very informative. We had an issue finding the location but the company was very patient and spoke to us over the phone to ensure that we got on the bus.
It was an awesome experience. The Peace Memorial is a must for every visitor to Japan. The Miyajima island is also not to be missed. Our guide Takane was very good in managing our group and provided all the necessary historical information needed to understand the sites we visited. Our bus driver, Mr. Yamamoto, made the trip even more memorable by making each one of us a paper crane and a paper shurikin ; it was such a sweet gesture!
Hiroshima was our amazing tour guide. She was very informative and took her time explaining all of the historical sites and even kept us entertained on the tour bus. Would definitely recommend her.
Good trip for seeing Hiroshima and the shrine. Friendly staff and Kane is a great guide. Food stop was surprisingly good and different
Great transportation and communication from the organizers! We always knew the time limits and pickup points; plenty of time in each place. They were even able to accommodate our luggage and alternative dropoff!
Excellent informative trip to Hiroshima memorial and museum; an important trip for every person to do. Miyajima was wonderful! Tom, our tour guy, spoke an excellent English. He was friendly, funny, organized and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and the tour.
Hiro was an absolute gem, showed us lots on the bus rides and seemed to know a little bit about everything Hiroshima. Definitely recommend if you feel like having some good lunch and learning something new.
The two main places of interest in Hiroshima are covered with enough time for self exploration as well. The guide was awesome as well. The okonomiyaki experience was a let down for me as it was not fresh. It was served before I took the seat.
The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and very gentle.
Explained all the historical facts and informationed needed.
Guides where very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information that i wasn’t aware about, definitely recommend
The experience is fantastic. You will see the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park with the museum, and all tickets are included. Lunch is included. The ferry to Miyajima island tickets are included and everything is done by bus.
This is ideal if you are staying in Hiroshima. For other places (i.e.: Osaka or Kyoto) you need to add approximately U$S 200 per person for the Shinkansen train (bullet train).
The tour guide always makes or breaks a tour. Hiro did a super job for us. She is from Hiroshima, and the pride she had in her city was evident our entire trip.
Good day trip, the guide Hiro was very professional, informative and helpful. Alot was cover in this day trip, so it felt really worthwhile.
Well organised tour . Guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand . No hesitation in recommending this tour.
Good day out with friendly and helpful guides. Lovely local meal included before the ferry to Miyajima island. Seeing the peace park and the museum was sad and upsetting. One thing that could have been better - the quality of the hearing aid. It was hard to hear the guide as the sound was mumbled
A Deeply Moving and Educational Experience in Hiroshima. The tour left a profound impact. What made this tour truly exceptional was our guide, who shared the personal, first-hand story of her grandparents’ experience during the atomic bombing of the city. Hearing such a deeply personal account brought a human dimension to the history that no textbook ever could. She spoke with grace, emotion, and authenticity, recounting how her grandparents survived the bombing and how it affected their lives and the generations that followed. Her storytelling was not only respectful and sincere but also incredibly powerful—it helped connect the historical facts with the emotional reality of those who lived through it. Walking through the Peace Memorial Park and Museum with her insights gave each stop greater meaning. She answered our questions with patience and honesty, never shying away from the painful truths, but always emphasising the importance of peace and remembrance.
We left the tour not only more informed but also deeply moved. It was a humbling experience that we will never forget. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hiroshima who wants to gain a deeper understanding of its history through the lens of personal memory and resilience.
Toe and his assistant Yuki were amazing and so helpful. Their English was great and Toe shared knowledge and personal anecdotes abt the areas visited. Very happy with the experience. All the spots visited were exactly what we wanted to see and expected. Lunch place was cute and delish!
I felt more time was needed at the bomb museum and whilst we enjoyed Miyajima we would have sacrificed time there for the museum
A good mix of overwhelming Hiroshima disaster with the Miyajima island. Really well organised. The tour guide and the associated staff were great. The lunch experience was great too
The visit to the Peace Museum is very graphic and can be quite harrowing. In fairness, what do you expect, given the subject matter.
It was a very informative tour and Hiroshima is worth visiting in its own right, but it’s not for children, or the faint hearted.
Myajima is a pretty place and also worth the visit.
Well organised trip with lovely well-informed guide. We have liked a bit more time in the Peace Museum. But overall a good trip which I would recommend.
Great tour in Hiroshima. Yuka is an amazing tour guide. Very organised, kind and full of knowledge. She gave us alot of information about the city and the monuments visited. The whole team made sure that both large groups were looked after.
This was a highlight of our trip to Japan. Kaori was a marvelous travel guide. She was rich with details and history of the area. The museum was soul stirring. The okonomiyaki lunch was absolutely delicious!
Excellent guide and easy to navigate the meeting spot. The Hiroshima tour was great, along with the museum trip. I highly recommend the okonomiyaki lunch. The trip to Miyajima was also amazing. Great views and great tour.
