A friend and I were lucky enough to book a private tour of Hiroshima with Rika. She took us on a thoughtfully planned tour of some incredible historical sites and gave us unique information at every stop. Rika has spent most of her life in the Hiroshima area so she is full of interesting bits of trivia and showed us places we never would have found on our own. She even took us to an amazing hole in the wall restaurant with a food specific to the area. It was such a great meal and gave us a super local feel which was really cool. I can't recommend Rika enough, this tour was definitely one of the highlights of my Japan trip! She was even nice enough to take photos for us along the way and added so many little touches that made the tour feel personal and special. Despite the difficult and tragic subject matter, this tour was a lot of fun and I certainly learned a lot about Japanese culture and history! 5 stars :)

Thank you for the lovely review. Although it was only half a day, I really enjoyed the time with both of you. Your interesting stories and warm smiles made it special. Hiroshima has a tragic history, but I’m glad you were able to experience more than just that and feel its true charm. Please come visit Japan and Hiroshima again someday! Rika

Half- Day Hiroshima Highlight Tour

Jan 20, 2026

Hiroshima

3 hours 10 mins

“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.

“Informative, enjoyable, and efficient afternoon”

Miyu-san welcomed us warmly and led us through an afternoon with efficiently planned transportation, just the right amount of walking, informative stops along the way, and plenty of photo opportunities. We saw aspects of Itsukishima Shrine that we would have missed on our own and was grateful for the time spent at Daishoin Temple.

Thank you very much for your detailed review. It was a pleasure spending half a day with you on beautiful, sacred Miyajima in such lovely weather. I hope the memories from your last stop in Japan will remain in your heart forever.
