Hiroshima Tour Reviews
Brenda B.
“Very Informative Tour of Miyajiima”
We met Miyu on the island for an afternoon tour. The tour was very well paced and she showed us many sites on the Island and gave a lot of history which we did not know. She is patient and let us take pictures. She answered all our questions and it was great that it was just us and not a 20 person tour. I highly recommend Miyu and here Half-Day Island tour.

Miyu F.
Thank you very much for your kind review. Although it was crowded due to the cherry blossom season, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed Miyajima. I hope you continue to have good weather and fully enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan.

“An amazing day!”
What an amazing guide! Kazumi met us promptly and with a smile. Her stories about Nagasaki from her own life really brought the city to life. She was attentive to us and kept things fun for our small child. She made sure we made it back to the cruise ship on time and with amazing stories to tell.

“Did It All!!!!”
We’re a family of four with two adult sons, and Keiko was exceptional in every way. She was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtfully organized the day, helping us make the most of every moment during a very busy season. We covered a lot, which is exactly how our family loves to travel, while still having the flexibility to adapt, pause, and explore at our own pace. Keiko struck the perfect balance between efficiency and enjoyment, and thanks to her, we truly felt like we experienced it all.

Keiko K.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review so soon. I truly appreciated every single word!! Above all, hiking all the way to the top of Mount Misen together with all of you is a wonderful memory for me. I believe it’s one of the best ways to fully enjoy Miyajima. I’m sure you will continue traveling to many places across Japan, and I hope you enjoy the unique charm of each region. Please also give my best regards to your friendly, very Canadian husband, and your two handsome boys!! Hugs, Kay
