Hiroshima Private Tour Guides

“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.

“Personal tour of generational rice farm”

Naomi was an accommodating guide, with fun, pleasant surprises along the way. The tour was very different from other city based ones. This is a great way to understand countryside farmers and see a small, off-the-beaten-path residential community. It was interesting, relaxing and very memorable to be shown a personal side of Japan. Our kids loved it too!

Hi! Your boys were so pure-hearted, energetic, and absolutely adorable. Their curiosity and excitement brought so much joy to the day, and it was a pleasure to share the experience with them. Meeting your and your friend’s’ family helped me make this tour even better. I genuinely enjoyed preparing for your visit, and spending the day together gave me new ideas and inspiration for future tours. Thank you again for choosing my tour. I hope the memories of our little countryside adventure stay with your family for many years. Wishing all of you safe travels and I hope our paths cross again someday!

“Kure: The naval history and her patience letting your son explore the museum at his own pace, closing with why Kay ranks among the most unforgettable guides you've had anywhere.”

Our final day with Kay in Kure was the perfect ending. She walked us through the history of the ships and naval heritage with real expertise, making it fascinating for all of us. What we appreciated most was how she let our son take his time she happily allowed him to stay and explore and play in the museum for as long as he wanted, never rushing him, understanding exactly what would make the day special for a curious kid. That kind of patience and attentiveness is rare. We've had guides in nearly every country we've traveled to, and only a few become truly unforgettable. Kay is one of those guides. Her attention to detail, her thoughtful recommendations, her help tracking down what we were looking for, and above all the way she treated our son like family made these three days something we'll always remember. We cannot recommend her highly enough — if you're lucky enough to book Kay, you're in for an experience you'll treasure.

Our third and final day was just as enjoyable as the first two. I had been a little worried that your son might not enjoy the Yamato Museum and the JMSDF Kure Museum, since both focus on the history of past wars, but my worries quickly disappeared. I was amazed to see him earn such a high score on the battleship navigation simulator, identify the subtle sonar sounds underwater, and even carefully copy Japanese characters during the quiz. He impressed me again and again throughout the day! Over these three days, spending time with your family made me feel as though I had gained a truly adorable grandson. It brought me so much joy, and I will always treasure the wonderful time we shared together. And finally, thank you so much for the many gifts you gave me at the end of the tour. I am the one who should be thanking you—I truly can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity. I am so grateful that our paths crossed here in Hiroshima, and I sincerely hope you'll come back and visit again someday. I'll be looking forward to seeing you all again. With warmest regards, Kay
