Frequently Asked Questions

I want to go and see as much as possible....

I will arrange the tour as you like. Central Hiroshima and Miyajima may be covered in one day. Takehara tour needs a whole day if you start from your Hotel in Hiroshima. So you cannot get everything at the same time. If you want to experience more, you had better extend your stay here in Hiroshima. It is worthwhile. I am sure my plan lives up to its promise of offering something memorable to everyone.

I want to know how much our transportation expenses will cost.

It depends on your plan or the transportation mode, though. Let me give you some idea.

*For HIROSHIMA/MIYAJIMA tour, it will cost about 2000 JPY

Break down = Central Hiroshima -via Hiroshima Sta.- Miyajima Sta. < 220JPY by tram/ 420 JPY by JR for 30 min. ride>,

Miyajima Sta. - Miyajima Is., <180 JPY by Boat>,

And the Admission fee to Miyajima Shrine <300JPY>...... One suggestion…if you have enough time, I really recommend a tram-ride from central Hiroshima to Miyajima Sta.. It takes time (about 50 min.) to get there. But it will cost you only 270 JPY. Additionally, from a window of the streetcar, you may enjoy the charming townscape of Hiroshima/nearby local towns and the serene Seto inland sea.

Pleasure boat also operates directly from central Hiroshima to Miyajima Island. (2200JPY. Round trip: 4000JPY)

“ Journey of Peace ”

I had mixed feelings about this tour too powerful emotional moment to encountered facts of war but Mayumi was the perfect person to walked us through We had a very interesting half day in Hiroshima and a wonderful afternoon in Miyajima. Mayumi is a great person she shares here excellent knowledge. with us. We have made a wonderful tour with her and she is incredibly knowledgeable about all the history and sites. With the little time we had we enjoyed every minute of the tour with Mayumi . We can’t express our gratitude enough but make sure to BOOK HER !!! Ines Freddie Eric Joebeth from Puerto Rico

“ Hiroshima Day Trip ”

It was a pleasure to spend the day with Mayumi. She looked after us very well and shared some wonderful insights into the history of Hiroshima. We do not often take guided tours, however the time spent with Mayumi has made us consider doing this more regularly.

“ Powerful experience ”

Mayumi is excellent and I recommend everyone joining her for a tour. My mother and I are the crazy travelers that try to fit as much in as possible while we are visiting a country. As a result, we were hoping to fit Hiroshima and Miyajima all in one day, but it seemed it would probably be too much. Luckily we found Mayumi. She was able map out an efficient tour that allowed us to see everything on our list. It was extremely calculated. In addition, and more importantly, the details, insight, and perspective she provided during the tour really separated the experience from anything else my mother and I did in Japan. Worth every penny and I couldnt recommend here enough.

Mayumi I.

Dear Kevin. I highly appreciate your excellent review and rating. I recall the marvelous day I spent with you and your mother over here. Family love is a treasure. Wish you and your family happiness and health. All the best, Mayumi.
