Hiroshima Private Tours

“One of the best tours I’ve ever experienced!”

Kazumi is rated as one of the best English speaking Hiroshima guides. There’s a reason— she is that good. Despite it being a miserable weather day, we thoroughly enjoyed seeing Hiroshima with Kazumi. We started our tour at the Peace Museum and she added personal commentary and stories to what we learned at the museum. We spent some time learning about the buildings that remained standing after the atomic blast and even went to the site where the bomb exploded. Next we had a delicious lunch, okonomiyaki, and then went to Miyajima · Itsukushima Shrine where we learned about the differences between shrines and temples. In every aspect of the day, Kazumi catered to our preferences. We avoided big crowds and she was infinitely patient as we took tons of pictures. She even took us back to the train station and made sure we got on the right train! The day was fantastic in spite of the weather and Kazumi was the reason. If you are able to book her for a personal tour, consider yourself lucky! We loved spending the day with Kazumi and could not recommend her more. Thank you.

“An Unforgettable Day in Miyajima with Miyu”

Our day in Miyajima with Miyu was absolutely wonderful and became one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. She was so kind, patient, and attentive from beginning to end, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Her English is excellent, which made everything easy and enjoyable. Miyu shared fascinating stories and explanations throughout the day, and she made the island feel truly special. One of the best things she did was encourage us to hike up Mount Misen. she inspired us to climb for almost two hours, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our entire trip. You should go up this way hearing the noise of the river during the hike!!!.The views from the top were breathtaking, and we are so grateful she encouraged us to do it. She also guided us around the most beautiful parts of Miyajima, including the famous floating torii and peaceful corners of the island that we would never have found on our own. What made the day even more memorable was the food she introduced us to. She made sure we tried the very best local specialties: delicious grilled oysters, fried oysters, and conger eel, which was completely different from unagi and absolutely delicious. Miyu is such a sweet, energetic, and caring person. She made us feel like we were exploring Miyajima with a close friend, and we will always remember this wonderful day with her.

I’m very glad that the rain we were concerned about held off and that we were blessed with good weather, allowing us to fully enjoy the magnificent view from the summit. It was quite a challenging climb, but I’m happy we reached the top safely with smiles. Spending the whole day on Miyajima also allowed us to see the two different faces of the Grand Torii, which made the experience even more special. I truly had a wonderful time as well. I will always remember the two days I spent with you.

“Hiroshima with Miyu: The Guide Who Turned Hiroshima into a Deeply Personal Story”

If you are visiting Hiroshima and want more than just a typical sightseeing tour, you absolutely have to tour with Miyu. From the moment we met her, what stood out was her excellent English—honestly, much better than many guides we have met in Japan. She explained everything clearly, naturally, and with so much warmth that we always felt comfortable asking questions and talking with her. What made the experience truly special was Miyu’s background. She previously worked in a government office helping victims and families affected by the atomic bombing. Because of that, her explanations about Hiroshima were not just historical—they were deeply human, emotional, and personal. Every place we visited felt more meaningful because of the way she connected the history to the people who lived through it. Miyu took us to the Shukkeien Garden that was incredible!! Try to be there in spring everything has flowers!!! Miyu also suggested that we visit Mitaki-dera, a hidden temple outside the usual tourist route, and it became one of the most beautiful surprises of the day. Nestled in the forest, with waterfalls, stone paths, and many budas, it felt peaceful and magical. We would never have found this place on our own, and it ended up being one of our favorite memories from Hiroshima. Miyu was constantly making sure we had the best possible experience. She took us to eat an incredible Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and was always attentive to what we wanted and needed throughout the day. Miyu is truly one of the sweetest and most caring guides we have ever met. Hiroshima became much more than a sightseeing stop because of her, and it was one of the most memorable days of our trip.
