“Miyajima & Hiroshima with Mayumi: 10/10!”
Rain couldn’t dampen this incredible experience with Mayumi! It poured the entire day during our tour of Miyajima Island and Hiroshima, but thanks to Mayumi, we barely noticed the weather. Despite being wet and cold, Mayumi’s cheerful energy and deep knowledge kept our spirits high. She orchestrated every detail beautifully, constantly checking in on our needs and ensuring there was never a dull moment. Since it was a jam-packed itinerary, she expertly helped us prioritize the most important sights so we didn't feel overwhelmed. From the seamless pickup at the train station to the final drop-off, she looked after us completely. Mayumi is an incredibly knowledgeable guide, and even with the relentless rain, we never felt like we missed out on anything. She truly made our day special! Thank you Mayumi.

Dear Savitha. Your generous words have touched me very deeply. The time I shared with you was just wonderful. There is something truly beautiful in the way you embrace each moment with positivity, transforming the ordinary into something joyful and full of light. It is a gift, and one I deeply admire. May your journey ahead be filled with the same warmth and brilliance you bring to others effortlessly. I have no doubt that many more wonderful moments await you. With heartfelt thanks, Mayumi

“Wonderful time with Mayumi I”
We had a wonderful time with Mayumi I. She is very nice and knowledgeable. she also took us to a local eatery where they served amazing local food. Thank you M.

Dear Heidi Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback. I am also very grateful that we were able to spend such a beautiful day together, blessed with perfect weather. The cherry blossoms are blooming everywhere, and it seems they will be at their peak over the next few days. Your timing couldn’t be better. In Japan, cherry blossoms are often called the flowers of Samurai, they bloom brilliantly for a short time and then fall gracefully. Hoping you will take good care and continue to enjoy the rest of your stay. Best. Mayumi

“Miyajima was beautiful, Hiroshima painful and the peace Park - full of Hope and Love ”
Mayumi received us at the station. She made us feel comfortable right away. Extremely helpful, her knowledge of Miyajima, Hiroshima’s history and Peace Park was a great help in understanding the situation. We enjoyed her company. She came all the way and dropped us back at the station. Thank you Mayumi for a wonderful insight into Japan.
Mayumi I.
Dear CHandurson. I appreciate your kind review. The time I spent with both of you was truly special and memorable for me as well. The plum blossoms in Japan are now in full bloom, quietly announcing the arrival of spring. As you know, Japan offers wonderful scenery throughout the year, and each season has its own charm. Hoping you will have another opportunity to visit Japan during another beautiful season. Best, Mayumi

Central Hiroshima and Okonomiyaki (Local Food) Tour
First up, I bring you to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Hiroshima is well known as the first atomic bombed city in the world history. You walk and drop by at many spots built to commemorate the victims and learn more at the Peace Memorial Museum. After that study tour, we roam around Central area and finally arrive at Okonomiyaki restaurant for early supper. Okonomiyaki is Hiroshima's soul food; a savory pancake filled with chopped vegetables, meat, sea food, noodle, egg... Just give it a try.

Rabbit Island
Rabbit Island is home to hundreds of friendly bunnies who approach tourists for food. Once this island was secluded as a secret base of the Imperial Japanese Army to produce lethal gas during WW II. And because of the poison gas development, it is thought that the test subjects included rabbits. After the war, the island restored peace and got well overrun by bunnies to become a Heaven of rabbits. Please enjoy being mobbed by adorable creatures and the beautiful nature there.

Saijo....Sake Town
After 30 min. train ride from Hiroshima, you arrive at this tiny town, SAIJO. Just follow chimneys and you find SAKE here.

Good rice and quality water are indispensable for making good sake, though. This town has both of them. In 2025, the Sake festival will be held on October 11&12. Come and join us!!
