“Hiroshima City Sightseeing Tour with Hideo”

Thank you Hideo, absolute pleasure to have met you. This was a great tour, pity the castle was closed but the samurai standing guard and taking photos with them made up for it. Hideo is kind and caring making sure everything worked out for us. Lunch was Okonomiyaki, and was the best in a little local spot only Hideo knew. Definitely better than cruise ship tours. Would do this again in a heartbeat. Arigato Hideo

I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. I was very surprised to see your guest offering a big paper crane and a set of 1,000 paper cranes at Peace memorial Park. This is the first time I've ever seen foreign tourist bringing paper cranes. I'll never forget her kindness and thoughtfulness. We could enjoy having Okonomiyaki, a popular local food, at the restaurant with the common touch. I hope to see you again. I wish you all the best for your good health and continued success.

“Miyajima & Hiroshima with Mayumi: 10/10!”

Rain couldn’t dampen this incredible experience with Mayumi! It poured the entire day during our tour of Miyajima Island and Hiroshima, but thanks to Mayumi, we barely noticed the weather. Despite being wet and cold, Mayumi’s cheerful energy and deep knowledge kept our spirits high. She orchestrated every detail beautifully, constantly checking in on our needs and ensuring there was never a dull moment. Since it was a jam-packed itinerary, she expertly helped us prioritize the most important sights so we didn't feel overwhelmed. From the seamless pickup at the train station to the final drop-off, she looked after us completely. Mayumi is an incredibly knowledgeable guide, and even with the relentless rain, we never felt like we missed out on anything. She truly made our day special! Thank you Mayumi.

“A deeply human story of Hiroshima — quietly reminding us of who we are, and who we may choose to become.”

Memorable tour. His experience as the son of a survivor gave everything a deeply personal dimension. It wasn’t just history, it was something lived, something felt. Through him, we didn’t only learn about Hiroshima, but also about Japanese culture, resilience, and the quiet strength with which memories are preserved at a family level. What touched us most is how such a profound human tragedy is not only remembered, but transformed into a meaningful message, present every day — one that speaks about peace, responsibility, and the importance of learning from our past. Beyond everything, it is a reminder of our shared humanity of what we are capable of, both in loss and in compassion, and of why it matters to carry these stories forward.

Dear Kata, I don't even know how to properly thank you for these words. This review means more to me than I can express. You understood exactly what I hoped to share - not just the history, but the human story behind it. My grandparent's experience, our family's journey, and Hiroshima's transformation into a city of peace... these are deeply personal, and I'm honored you felt that connection. What you wrote about 'shared humanity' and 'who we may choose to become' - that's the heart of why I do this work. And I'm equally glad we could also enjoy the everyday joys of Hiroshima together - the okonomiyaki, the local flavors, the simple pleasures that make this city alive today. To me, that's also part of the story: Hiroshima is not only about remembering the past, but about celebrating life and moving forward with hope. Thank you for your openness, your compassion, and for taking the time to write something so thoughtful. This is a review I'll treasure. I hope Hiroshima stays with you, as you've clearly stayed with its story. Thank you again, Pancho
