Hiroshima Private Tours

“A fuller picture and understanding of Hiroshima as a city than you would get on your own”

Our group of four women visited the Peace Museum on our own and met Miyu-san afterward. The Peace Museum is a powerful place and walking through it is a very personal experience. The afternoon with Miyu-san afterward provided us with a fuller picture of Hiroshima residents before the war and after the bombing. After a leisurely but emotionally moving walk through the Peace Park, we walked through side streets, read plaques and learned their significance. We made a short trip to Hiroshima Castle but instead of touring interior opted to visit Mitaki-dera, a tranquil Buddhist Temple with three waterfalls. A perfect soul-filling experience to round out our day in Hiroshima. Miyu-san planned an excellent experience.

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. I truly admire the care and sincerity with which you visited the Peace Memorial Museum and engaged with Hiroshima’s history. I’m happy you enjoyed the peaceful walk at Mitaki-dera. It was a joy for me to spend two days with four wonderful women. I hope you made it home safely, and I hope to welcome you back to Japan and Hiroshima again someday.

“Informative, enjoyable, and efficient afternoon”

Miyu-san welcomed us warmly and led us through an afternoon with efficiently planned transportation, just the right amount of walking, informative stops along the way, and plenty of photo opportunities. We saw aspects of Itsukishima Shrine that we would have missed on our own and was grateful for the time spent at Daishoin Temple.

“The Most Beautiful and Meaningful Experience of Our Entire Trip to Japan”

This experience with Rika was absolutely spectacular and, without any doubt, the most memorable and special thing we did in all of Japan. From beginning to end, it was deeply moving, beautifully organized, and incredibly authentic. The day started with a ferry ride to Ninoshima, surrounded by peaceful scenery and views of oyster farms, which immediately set a calm and reflective tone. At her home, Rika guided us through the onigiri-making experience with warmth and patience. Learning to prepare onigiri by hand and sharing them with miso soup was simple, intimate, and profoundly meaningful. This moment alone became the highlight of our entire trip—it was a true cultural connection, not something you can experience as a typical tourist. Afterward, we learned how to fold a paper crane while Rika shared the powerful story of Sadako Sasaki. This was an emotional and unforgettable moment that gave deep context to Hiroshima’s message of peace and hope. The experience continued back in Hiroshima with a visit to Ground Zero and Peace Memorial Park. Dedicating the paper crane we had folded earlier made the visit incredibly personal and moving. Rika guided us with sensitivity, respect, and deep knowledge, allowing us to fully understand the history while honoring its emotional weight. Rika is an exceptional guide and a truly special person. Her ability to blend culture, history, food, and human connection into one seamless experience is remarkable. This was not just a tour—it was a life-enriching experience that we will carry with us forever. We recommend this experience without hesitation; it is truly unforgettable.

Thank you so much for this incredibly beautiful and heartfelt review. I am truly touched by your words and have read them many times with deep gratitude. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed the onigiri-making experience on Ninoshima. Spending that relaxed and joyful day with your family was also very special for me. Sharing such simple moments—making food together, talking, and enjoying the quiet island atmosphere—is something I truly value, and I’m grateful that it became a meaningful part of your journey in Japan. Knowing that this day has become one of your cherished memories from Japan makes me genuinely happy. Your warm and thoughtful words mean more to me than I can express, and they give me great encouragement as I continue to guide and share Hiroshima with others. Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. I hope we may meet again someday, here in Hiroshima or elsewhere. Rika
