Following our tour of Peace Park, we took a second tour with Mayumi, to Saijo - Sake Town, Mayumi took any stress out of the journey as she guided us via tram and train to Saijo, then through the streets where the sake factories sit, recognisable at a distance from their tall chimneys. We gained an understanding of the local history of sake in Saijo, one of Japan's premier sake regions, as well as the process of its production. Although many shops were closed in the lead up to their annual sake festival (which we unfortunately will miss), we still saw many displays regarding the history, and tasted sake at two historic producers, experiencing a fascinating variety of flavours. We found this tour both interesting and relaxing, and enjoyed Mayumi's delightful company as well. Thank you so much, Mayumi!

Hi Fiona again, I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to serve you both as your guide. Indeed, most of the sake breweries were closed as they were busy preparing for the large-scale Sake Festival taking place next week. However, when I watched you both carefully and thoughtfully tasting the different kinds of sake, almost as if you were sommeliers, and sharing your impressions with each other, I was deeply moved by the respect you kindly showed for Japanese food culture. I only wish you could come back again next week for the festival! LoL. I also truly appreciate the wonderful conversations we had on the train, where you kindly shared so much information and your perspectives with me. It made our time together even more meaningful and enjoyable. You had only just arrived in Japan and were still dealing with jet lag, on top of that, experiencing the pain in your ankle, yet you still came all the way to Japan and Hiroshima, and spent these precious two days with me. I cannot thank you enough for that. I sincerely hope you both will have a wonderful time in Miyajima tomorrow as well! Thank you again for these two memorable days. It was truly a pleasure and an honor to spend them with you. Warmest regards, Mayumi

“An informative and meaningful tour, and an excellent introduction to Hiroshima”

We had an excellent guided tour with Mayumi from the moment she met us in our hotel lobby. She is an intelligent, knowledgeable, and considerate guide. Visiting Peace Park and the Peace Memorial Museum is a sombre and moving experience, and Mayumi guided us through all the sites clearly and informatively, navigating more efficiently than we could have done alone, ensuring we missed nothing. As a local, her knowledge of Hiroshima added depth to our tour, and emphasised that Hiroshima is now a city that actively strives for worldwide peace. Finishing our tour with Okonomiyaki was an excellent choice. Thank you Mayumi for an engrossing start to our journey through Japan.

Dear Fiona, I truly appreciate your incredibly prompt review, which surely makes my day. The day you kindly shared with me was so delightful. You both are very thoughtful and intelligent, and you certainly inspired me to see world history from a new perspective as well. Your sincere attitude to try to understand the experiences and history of HIroshima really touched me. WIsh you two and all the people around the world, good health, happiness and peace! With heartfelt gratitude, Mayumi

“Informative and enjoyable day!”

Keiko was a terrific guide from the second we connected with her. She freely gave her time online to assist us with the booking process and was incredibly accomodating of our needs. In person, her warmth, kindness and knowledge ensured such an educational day for my family of four and we will remember it fondly. We can’t thank her enough and would recommend her and this day to anyone looking for an incredible insight into Hiroshima and a wonderful afternoon on Miyajima Island.

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. I was actually wondering how you enjoyed your USJ experience! It was such a pleasure meeting your wonderful and close-knit family in Hiroshima. I’m also hoping that, during the rest of your stay in Japan, you’ll have more opportunities to enjoy the sake you tried for the first time here in Hiroshima and perhaps become even more familiar with it! I hope you continue to enjoy your wonderful family trip in Japan! Kind regards, Keiko (Kay)
