Hiroshima Tour Reviews
“Kazumi is an outstanding thoughtful guide ”
Kazumi took my husband, our cousin and myself through Peace Park, the Atomic bomb dome and museum. As she was born and grew up in the area she spoke with great knowledge. She interspersed the history with personal stories she had gathered from the people she had met that had been affected and forever changed by the bombing of Hiroshima. It was a deeply moving experience and Kazumi gave us time to reflect on what we had seen and answered our many questions. She also explained some of the cultural nuances we had seen on our trip which was incredibly insightful. She then took us to a delicious Okonomiyaki restaurant for lunch. I highly recommend Kazumi as a guide. She’s wonderful!

“Wonderful Day with Kazumi-san!”
From meeting us at our ship, through our tour of the Peace Park and Memorial Museum, a great lunch and our tour of Miyajima Island, Kazumi-san was among the best guides we have experienced. She was knowledgeable, informative, considerate, flexible and a pleasure to spend time with. We learned a great deal about Japanese life just from her honest conversation. We could not have been happier to have met her and recommend her without reservation!
