Hiroshima Private Tour Guides

“Big Day Out in Hiroshima ”

From the moment we met Miyu at the cruise terminal we knew we were in for a special day. She gave us plenty of options for transportation and lunch choices. First stop was Miyajima Island. She timed this stop because the tide was high which gave us the best view of the Tori Gate. Her knowledge of the shrine and temple enhanced our visit tenfold. After lunch we made our way to the Peace Park. Her knowledge of the atomic bomb site and her work with survivors of the blast helped us to empathise with what happened that day on 6th August 1945. Miyu even presented us with paper cranes that she and her grandson had made. The museum was closed so we took the option to visit a beautiful Japanese garden which was excellent. Miyu stayed with us until we were safely in a taxi heading back to our Cruise Ship Well done and many thanks Miyu.

Thank you very much for your kind and generous message. It truly means a lot to me. I am very happy to know that you and your group enjoyed your time in Hiroshima. I sincerely appreciate that you took a moment to reflect on what happened here 81 years ago and on how the people of Hiroshima have lived and rebuilt their lives since then. I wish you continued good health and a wonderful journey ahead.

“A Fabulous Day with a Fabulous Guide!”

Today we spent the day in Hiroshima with our fabulous guide, Hugh Cann. Hugh met us promptly on time at the terminal building at 8:30 am. He took us by a car to the peace memorial Park where the atomic bomb was dropped. Hugh is Australian living in Japan; he speaks Japanese fluently and is incredibly knowledgeable about both the culture and his subject which is tourism. We spent several hours exploring the park and trying to come to terms with the horror of what that represented. Next Hugh took us to lunch in one of his favourite restaurants. It was great fun and we enjoyed a delicious Hiroshima specialty called Okonomiyaki. After lunch we went to a very beautiful & (lesser known) temple called Miyaki - Dara. The gardens (even in winter) were spectacular We thoroughly recommend Hugh for a truly enjoyable, informative and different experience of the delightful city of Hiroshima.
