Hiroshima Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Truly amazing day with Kuzumi, Go with Guide tour!”

We had such an eventful and memorable day with Kuzumi on our Hiroshima World Heritage tour with GoWithGuide. From start to finish, everything was wonderfully organized, interesting, and enjoyable. A highlight was visiting beautiful Miyajima Island and exploring Daisho-in, a historic Shingon temple nestled at the base of Mt. Misen. It was absolutely spectacular — peaceful, filled with hundreds of statues and prayer wheels, and much less crowded than many of the larger tourist sites. Kuzumi shared so much history and cultural insight that we would never have appreciated on our own. Seeing the famous floating Torii Gate and visiting Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was unforgettable. The scenery was stunning and Kuzumi paced the day perfectly. Lunch was another fantastic experience. We enjoyed Hiroshima’s famous soul food — okonomiyaki — at a wonderful local eatery. The combination of cabbage, bean sprouts, pork, egg, and noodles layered on the thin crepe-like batter was absolutely delicious. The historical portion of the tour was deeply moving and incredibly meaningful. In the Peace Park, Kuzumi carefully guided us through the history of Hiroshima and the first atomic bomb used in human history. Visiting the hypocenter, the Atomic Bomb Dome, the monuments, and the museum gave us a far deeper understanding of the tragedy, resilience, and hope that define Hiroshima today. Kuzumi explained everything with knowledge, sensitivity, and compassion. Kuzumi was knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and spoke excellent English. We truly felt we experienced both the famous highlights and the deeper cultural and historical side of Hiroshima and Miyajima. Highly recommended!

“Unique, relaxing, off the beaten track experience ”

If you are looking for fresh air, warm hospitality, an opportunity to learn about family life in a small Japanese mountain village and to see how rice is grown, this is the tour for you. We loved learning how the rice fields are watered, walking in the family’s beautiful Japanese garden, visiting the beautiful and peaceful village shrine where harvest celebrations are held and walking in the quiet forest near their home. It was such a lovely antidote to the crowds in the city. Naomi and her family were so kind to us and she was so patient in answering our many questions about life and culture in Japan. Naomi speaks fluent English. I highly recommend this tour. It has been a clear highlight of our trip to Japan.

Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to me and my family. We were also so happy to welcome such wonderful guests into our home and village. Your curiosity, kindness, and respect for our lifestyle made the day very special for us too. I really enjoyed sharing our rice fields, local shrine, forest paths, and everyday family life with you. I’m especially glad that you felt the peaceful atmosphere of our mountain village after the busy cities in Japan. That balance between nature, family, and tradition is something I deeply treasure, so it made me very happy to share it with you. Thank you as well for your many thoughtful questions and warm conversations throughout the tour. Hosting you was honestly one of the highlights for me too. I hope the rest of your journey in Japan is filled with many more wonderful memories, and you are always welcome back to our village anytime.
