Hiroshima Private Car Tours

“An unforgettable day in Hiroshima with Kate”

We were a group of four Canadian first time travellers to Hiroshima who wanted to optimize our time in this remarkable area. From beginning to end, Kate was a five star professional. We started communicating well before our trip and Kate provided exact instructions for how to get from Osaka to Hiroshima for the day tour right down to the times of trains. We were met at the station, driven around in a very comfortable van, and completed the itinerary like clockwork. Kate focused us on all the beautiful details at each site of Miyajima and also pointed out the ideal photo spots. We thoroughly appreciated Kate introducing us to delicious, local snacks and foods at each spot including grilled oysters, momiji manju, an exceptional okonomiyaki lunch at her favourite food counter and a first class lemon sorbet! Most importantly, Kate presented the history of Hiroshima with the perfect blend of compassionate historical knowledge and thought-provoking insight. This was an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Kate for your Hiroshima tour.

Thank you so much, Brigid! It was such a pleasure spending the day with all four of you. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed every part of the tour! Food is such a big part of the experience in Hiroshima, and I always love sharing the local flavors with my guests. It means so much to me that you all enjoyed it! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your trip and make many more amazing memories along the way! Kind regards, Kate

“Nice day in Hiroshima!”

We had a wonderful experience touring Hiroshima and Miyajima with Kate. She was very professional, friendly, and accommodating throughout the day. Communication before the tour was excellent, making everything easy and well organized from the start. We especially appreciated her kindness and willingness to go the extra mile. At the end of the tour, she even accompanied our group into the train station to make sure we knew exactly where to go. That personal touch meant a lot to us! My only suggestion for improvement would be to provide a little more proactive commentary and historical background about the places we were visiting. At times, we found ourselves asking questions to better understand what we were seeing, and a more engaging narrative would have made the experience even more enriching. That said, Kate was a pleasure to spend the day with, and we truly appreciated her professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to making our visit enjoyable. Overall, a great experience, and we would happily recommend Kate to anyone visiting Hiroshima and Miyajima!

Thank you so much for your kind words and your thoughtful feedback, Fernando! I really enjoyed spending the day with you all in Hiroshima and Miyajima, and I’m so glad the communication and the train station send-off made things easy for you. Thank you also for your honest suggestion about the commentary. Every group is different, and I sometimes hold back to give guests space to take things in, but I’ll make sure to share more of the history and stories along the way. I hope you had a wonderful rest of your trip! Kind regards, Kate

“Hiroshima Peace Park”

Kate was an excellent guide. Her planned 4 hour itinerary was just right. She had volumes of knowledge and was open to any suggestions. She even took the time to teach us oldsters how to fold an Origami paper crane. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Sharon! I really enjoyed spending time with you all. Folding paper cranes together after walking through the Peace Park and visiting the museum was a meaningful way to end the tour. I’m so glad the 4 hours felt just right. I hope you had a wonderful rest of your trip, and I’d love to welcome you back to Hiroshima someday! Kind regards, Kate
