“2 Days w/ Hideo: Naoshima and Hiroshima ”

We just finished two great days with Hideo. He met us at our hotel in Kyoto, and from then on the trip was seamless. I had wanted to visit the "art islands" but couldn't imagine navigating getting there myself for my husband and I. We only really had a day to spend on Naoshima bec we also wanted to visit Hiroshima. Hideo took us on the train, to another train (or 2?) to a ferry to the bus all the way to Naoshima. He had the time schedules all worked out and managed our tickets. After being largely on our own in Tokyo, Hakone and Kyoto, it was so nice not to have to think! Although I might have liked more time on Naoshima, our overall trip time didn't allow for it but Hideo made the most of our time by scheduling things, including lunch. He gave us some good info on the museums we visited. He helped us find dinner when we arrived in Hiroshima after a long day. Then, when we wanted to change our plans the next day in Hiroshima, Hideo was amenable, and woke up early the next day to change our tickets. Even though we wanted to shorten our plans and not visit Miyajima (which most people would want to do, and HIdeo had originally planned) he didn't make us feel badly for shortening the day, and reduced his fee accordingly. He was very informative about Hiroshima, had great maps (even tho he was with us, this helped orient us to the main sites and history of what happened there). He then went with us to Osaka and took us right to our hotel. Hideo was informative, helpful and a very sweet and organized guide. We never could have managed to get to Naoshima and Hiroshima (navigating all the transportation) and been so relaxed to just focus on the sites if it weren't for Hideo! Thank you Hideo for being our guide.

“Wonderful Hiroshima Tour with Miyu!”

We had such a meaningful and memorable day in Hiroshima with Miyu. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the city with great care and sensitivity. Her explanations about Hiroshima’s history, culture, and local life added so much depth to our visit, and she always made sure the pace was comfortable for everyone. The tour was perfectly organized, and she ensured we were on time for every part of the day. We truly appreciated her kindness, her calm energy, and the personal touches she added throughout the tour. Thank you, Miyu, for a beautiful and unforgettable experience in Hiroshima. We highly recommend her!
