Hiroshima Private Tours

“Five Stars for Rika. She is a great guide & we had a great day.”

Rika is a fantastic guide. She is very professional and provided us with a very memorable tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. We also had a great lunch where we participated with the cooking. Rika also answered all of our questions and helped my daughter with her Japanese. I would highly recommend Rika for a tour if you are in Hiroshima. Thanks again Rika.

Thank you so much for your lovely message. Although the latter half of our trip was a bit rushed, I’m so glad we were able to enjoy some relaxing time in Miyajima together. It also makes me happy to hear that you had fun trying okonomiyaki as a part of the experience. Spending time with your wonderful family truly warmed my heart, and it was a very special time for me as well. Thank you again. Rika

“Historical Tour”

Hugh was nothing short of exceptional during this tour. We had asked for a historical tour and that is exactly what we received. We have been traveling in Japan for a month visiting several regions and partaking in several tours. This tour was the best we have experienced in Japan as well as world wide. Hugh was well spoken, knowledgeable and easy to be with. He went over and beyond our expectations. Not only did he give us an exceptional tour he also made a recommendation for dinner as well as made the reservation for us. It was one of the best meals we had in Japan. He is fluent in Japan and clearly respected by the locals. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him. Thank you Hugh!

“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.
