While the sights we saw were wonderful and worth visiting we were very disappointed in the guide we were assigned. While he was very nice he spoke very little English and was not able to enhance the experience with “guidance”. We were provided almost no information about what we were seeing. In addition I was surprised we had to pay all fees for the guide as well as ourselves. We did not get the value of a “private” tour
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent tour did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the English communication and the guiding experience.
We will review this matter carefully with the guide and us to ensure improvements are made.
Regarding the guide’s fees, we understand your concern and will also look into how we can make this clearer for future guests.
Once again, we deeply apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our services.

Definitely book Noriko. She met us at the cruise passenger terminal and was extremely knowledgeable about Hiroshima as she lives here. We went to my Miyajima Island via the ferry. She not only knew every detail about the island, she thought ahead and made us reservations for lunch to eat okonomiyaki. And as crowded as the island was, we were very pleased that she did so. She was a true pleasure.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
It is profoundly gratifying to receive your remarkably detailed and heartfelt account of your recent experience.
We are absolutely thrilled that Noriko proved to be such an exceptional guide, making your excursion truly outstanding. It brings us immense satisfaction to know that her profound local knowledge of Hiroshima, where she resides, was so evident, particularly during your visit to Miyajima Island via ferry. Her meticulous foresight in securing lunch reservations for okonomiyaki, despite the island's bustling atmosphere, clearly demonstrated her dedication to your comfort and enjoyment. It truly warms us to know that her presence was such a genuine delight throughout your day. Your strong recommendation is profoundly appreciated.
We will certainly convey your magnificent comments directly to Noriko; she will be absolutely thrilled to learn of her significant positive impact.
We deeply appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you back to Japan in the future.

Seeing the Hiroshima site and museum was a somber and educational experience. The guide took us to some of the memorials around the city and explained the significance.

Winderful tour with the Miyijima Island and the Peace Memorial Park - especially also the red Tori Gate, floating in the water

We probably could have figured out how to see the same sights on our own without a guide but it definitely helps reduce the stress of having to figure it out on your own. It was also very special that she shared her own personal family story of the A-bomb - made the history lesson very personal and genuine. She asked us about lunch preferences and I had done some research ahead of time and knew something to ask for. She did awesome with picking the restaurant as it was my favorite meal on my whole trip to Japan. She gave us adequate space and time at the museum so it didn't feel like we were being rushed. Since Hiroshima was just a day trip for us she met us at the train station with all our luggage and was kind enough to help us figure out how to use the lockers at the train station. I thought it was also a very special touch when she gave us a paper crane that she had personally made - nice personal token to bring home. I didn't know anything about Miyajima when I booked the tour but couldn't figure out how to get a tour of the Hiroshima Peace Park without Miyajima added so just went with it. I was pleasantly surprised and am very glad we did the island. It actually snowed on us while we were walking through the temple, which is rare for us and she said extremely rare for them. So that was also a special memory. The island was extremely packed as they were having an Oyster Festival that holiday weekend so I'm glad we had her to maneuver through the busy, crowded streets.
