“What a day! Unforgettable experience.”
We had an amazing day with Rika during our cruise stop in Hiroshima. Rika communicated regularly before our tour and arranged a visit to a school teaching "The way of the Tea" direct from the port. It was something we will never forget. We then visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and surrounding area which was incredibly moving, Rika imparted all the information in perfect English. We also experienced the local delicacy Okinomiyaki at an authentic local cafe, it was delicious. We really enjoyed our time with Rika and would highly recommend using her at this special city. We only wish we had more time here to see more. Thank you Rika

Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly enjoyed spending time with both of you, and I was deeply moved by the way you listened so sincerely and showed such a genuine interest in learning about our history and culture—both during the tea ceremony and at the Peace Park. I would be delighted to welcome you back to Hiroshima one day, and I very much look forward to seeing you two again. Rika

“A meaningful and memorable day with Kazumi”
We spent the day with our guide, Kazumi, visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum, followed by a ferry trip to Miyajima Island. Kazumi was not only very knowledgeable but also personable and engaging. Her excellent grasp of English meant we were able to enjoy some truly fascinating conversations throughout the day. At the Peace Museum and Park, she guided us with great sensitivity, giving us time to reflect on the tragic events while sharing thoughtful insights that deepened our understanding. In the afternoon, she lightened the tone as we took the ferry to Miyajima Island, making sure we experienced the highlights, from the floating torii gate to the deer wandering the streets. It was a perfectly balanced day of history, culture, and natural beauty. Kazumi made the experience memorable, and we would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Hiroshima.

“Exceptional Tour with Mayumi - A Day to Remember”
Mayumi made our day in Hiroshima absolutely unforgettable. Her incredible knowledge and flawless English allowed us to truly understand the profound history and significance of each location we visited. At Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, Mayumi's respectful storytelling brought the history to life while maintaining the appropriate reverence for this sacred space. Her guidance through the Hiroshima Peace Museum was particularly impactful - she shared unique perspectives and pointed out details we never would have noticed on our own, making the experience deeply meaningful and educational. The transition to Miyajima Shrine and Daishoin Temple showcased another side of her expertise. Mayumi seamlessly wove together the spiritual and cultural significance of these beautiful sites, explaining traditions and architectural details that enriched our understanding of Japanese culture. What sets Mayumi apart is her genuine kindness and ability to create a perfect balance between education and emotional connection. She has an intuitive sense of when to share information and when to allow for quiet reflection. Her personal insights and stories added layers of meaning that no guidebook could provide. If you're visiting Hiroshima, Mayumi is absolutely essential. She doesn't just show you the sites - she helps you truly understand and feel their significance. Highest recommendation possible!
