Hiroshima Private Tours

“Mijyajima, one of the highlights of our trip”

Miyu was fantastic! She customized the half-day in Miyajima to our interests and the weather. She did not mind getting a little bit of rain with us! Her knowledge of the area and the care she takes for her group are among her best assets as a guide.

Thank you so much for your kind and generous words. Although we weren't able to hike Mt. Misen because of the rain, I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time on Miyajima. Your thoughtful comments encourage me to continue sharing the beauty and charm of Hiroshima with visitors from around the world.

“Miyajima: The magic of the island and the momiji manju making that Kay made memorable through her translation help, with her warm, kid-friendly way shining through.”

Our day on Miyajima with Kay was pure magic. From the floating torii gate to wandering the island, she brought everything to life with her knowledge and warmth. The highlight was making momiji manju an experience that could have been lost in translation, but Kay was right there helping us communicate every step of the way, turning it into one of the most memorable and fun moments of our entire trip. Our son still talks about it. Once again, Kay's way with our son made all the difference. She has a natural ability to challenge and engage kids while making them feel completely comfortable, treating him with the same care she'd give her own child. She continued helping us hunt for the souvenir we were after and offered thoughtful recommendations throughout the day that we never would have found on our own. Kay is the kind of guide who makes you feel like you're exploring with a friend who happens to know absolutely everything.

The Momiji Manju baking experience was a lot of fun, wasn't it? It had actually been a while since my last visit, and I was pleasantly surprised to see how beautifully the facility had been renovated. It was wonderful to see your son enjoying the experience, and I was also impressed by how quickly you picked up the baking (or cooking) process. Freshly baked Momiji Manju that you've made yourself always tastes extra special. One of the most unforgettable moments for me was seeing your son's smile at the aquarium. The video he captured of a stingray catching and eating a fish was absolutely incredible! I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to spend such a fun-filled day with your wonderful family.　Warm regards, Kay

“Hiroshima: Kay's deep, sensitive telling of the Peace Park history, made accessible for your son, plus her attention to detail and starting the souvenir hunt.”

We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Hiroshima than our day with Kay at the Peace Memorial Park. She shared the history and culture with such depth and sensitivity, giving us the context that made the experience truly meaningful rather than just a walk through a park. She has a gift for explaining difficult history in a way that's honest, moving, and accessible — and she was especially thoughtful in how she helped our son understand it all at his level. What stood out most was how Kay treated our son like one of her own children. She kept him engaged by gently challenging him and drawing him into the story of the place, never talking over his head or leaving him behind. She also went out of her way throughout the day to help us track down a specific souvenir we'd been searching for. Her attention to detail and genuine care were obvious from the very first hour. An incredible start to our time together.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt reviews of our three-day tour. It truly means a lot to me. Our tour started with a small mix-up on the Shinkansen platform, so I was so relieved and happy the moment I finally saw all of your faces! It was also such a joy to discover right from the beginning that your son and I shared a love of dinosaurs. I was also delighted to find out right from the beginning that your son and I both love dinosaurs. Although Hiroshima is often associated with the heavy and painful history of war and the atomic bombing, I was deeply touched by your son's sincere curiosity. The fact that he asked honest questions and genuinely wanted to understand meant so much to me. His simple words, "That's so sad...", are exactly the kind of empathy that gives me hope for the future.　Warm regards, Kay
