This 3 hour tour focused on the Peace Park and museum. It was interesting but we could have easily done it on our own. Plenty of available taxis waiting if needed. Our guide was young and very knowledgeable
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re glad you enjoyed learning more about the Peace Park and museum and appreciated the knowledge shared during the experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear the tour still added value to your visit.

Our local guide Rena was extremely accommodating in adjusting transportation needs to sites we visited. She was very knowledgeable and relayed interesting information about our various stops. Our lunch stop was a local okonomiyaki shop, which was delicious. We very much enjoyed Rena’s company and highly recommend her.

Whirlwind 4hr tour of main sites of Hiroshima. Lots of quick walking and public transport: train, ferry and tram. Must have IC card and cash to pay for guide's transportation costs. Worthwhile tour but not for walking impaired.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re glad to hear you found the tour worthwhile and enjoyed exploring the main sites of Hiroshima. We appreciate you highlighting the walking and transportation aspects, as this helps future guests plan accordingly. Your tips about having an IC card and cash for transportation are very helpful!

We did a Hiroshima tour with Ami and she was wonderful! She took us through Peace Memorial Park, Peace Memorial Museum, Gokoku Shrine, and Hiroshima, Castle. She was very tactful and even taught us a lot - even how to make crane origami. Knowing we were foodies, she even gave us local lunch recommendations for us to go to after the tour.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a meaningful experience with Ami in Hiroshima. Her tactful approach and deep knowledge truly help bring the history and culture to life, and we’re glad you enjoyed learning origami and exploring the city. We’re also happy her local food recommendations added to your day!

It was great experience and really learned a lot. My guide, Ken, was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I appreciated his insight and personal stories and eating like a local. He made sure I took lots of pictures to capture the moment. I had fun and would recommend.

Absolutely 5 stars! Ken was an exceptional guide for our walking tour through Hiroshima. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the city’s history, but what really stood out was his patience and kindness with our children—he made sure they felt included and engaged the entire time. He tailored the pace to suit our family and answered all our questions with warmth and insight. To top it off, he brought us to a local restaurant that served one of the most delicious meals we had on our trip. A memorable and meaningful experience—we couldn’t recommend Ken more highly!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled that Ken made your Hiroshima tour both memorable and meaningful. It's especially great to know the kids felt engaged and include. Ken will be so happy to hear your kind words. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Great tour! Just my husband i with our amazing tour guide Yuka! We walked around Hiroshima, got to see everything we wanted. Very personalized to our interests. She even walks us back to the train station and helped us to get the right train back to Osaka. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Yuka sounds like a fantastic host—so thoughtful to tailor the day to your interests and even make sure you got back to Osaka smoothly. It’s those extra touches that make an experience unforgettable. Thanks for the lovely recommendation!

What an incredible day in Hiroshima with Nozomi Kushida ( Nozz)! Nozz’s communication from the start was great. There were several spots I wanted to see in Hiroshima and Nozz also booked a great spot for lunch where we had the most delicious okonomiyaki.
Nozz took me to Shukkeien Garden, Hiroshima Castle, and of course, Peace Memorial Park and Museum. We saw each spot and Nozz explained the history and importance of each spot
The history of Hiroshima is right before your eyes in many spots and is obviously thought-provoking and emotional. Nozz explained with sensitivity at our time in the museum about the various exhibits. It was very emotional and I’m very glad that we stopped and saw this unforgettable museum
After our visit, Nozz had planned a visit to Miyajima so that we could see the stunning torii gates. The boat ride was relaxing and Nozz’s easy going manner made for great conversation then and throughout the day. I am so glad we could stop at Miyajima and end the day at such a beautiful site.
I am so glad I was able to have Nozz as my guide. His English is absolutely amazing and I learned so much from him. I so appreciate that he accommodated my itinerary and also added a couple of extras that I enjoyed. He also booked spots and activities in advance which saved us time.
I have a new friend in Japan! If you are looking for a guide to take you around Hiroshima or Miyajima, you must ask for Nozz. You will be happy you did!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
What a heartfelt and unforgettable day that sounds like! It’s clear Nozz went above and beyond to make every moment meaningful—from the powerful visit to the Peace Memorial Museum to the stunning beauty of Miyajima. His thoughtful planning, personal touches, and easygoing nature truly shine through in your story. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful experience—we’re so glad you had the chance to explore Hiroshima with someone who brought it all to life!

Our guide for the day was Maryam. She was easy to work with and we were able to finalize the itinerary over WhatsApp. She took us to the Hiroshima Atomic Dome, Peach Garden and Museum. Later we took a train to Miyajima station and finally a ferry ride to Miyajima.
Maryam spoke good English and shared important facts about each place.
