Dear Adam. The 80th Peace Memorial Ceremony is being held in Hiroshima today, starting this morning on August 6th. I am grateful to have spent time with you and your family at the Peace Park, where the sound of cicadas echoes through the dense camphor wood grove. Peace be with you and all. Mayumi

“A patient and flexible guide”

Miyu made everything about our day, easy and perfect. She arrived at our hotel early, guided us to the museum and waited patiently while we meandered, offered thoughtful commentary on the history of Hiroshima, found a wonderful place for us to have udon for lunch, and patiently waited as we took dozens of pictures.

“Like having a friend show you around”

We had the absolute pleasure of being guided by Rika during our visit to Hiroshima and Okunoshima, and I can’t speak highly enough of her exceptional service. From start to finish, Rika made our experience unforgettable with her warmth, knowledge, and genuine passion for sharing the history and culture of the region. During our tour of Fukuro-machi Elementary School and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, she engaged everyone in our group—adults & kids alike—with fascinating insights and thoughtful explanations, making the exhibits come alive in a way that was both educational and heartfelt. Her ability to connect with people of all ages gave our whole family a new appreciation for the history and recovery of Hiroshima. Our trip to Okunoshima, the famous “Rabbit Island,” was an absolute delight, thanks to Rika’s meticulous planning and cheerful demeanor. She ensured every detail of the journey was seamless, from transportation to sharing fun facts about the island’s history and its adorable inhabitants. She guided us along with care made the day feel like an adventure with a close friend. Rika’s professionalism, fluency in English, and deep knowledge of the area made every moment meaningful. She went above and beyond, answering questions with patience and tailoring the tour to our interests. Her passion for Hiroshima and its stories shone through, leaving us with memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for an outstanding guide, Rika is simply the best—her tours are a perfect blend of heart, history, and joy!
