“Exceptional Tour with Mayumi - A Day to Remember”
Mayumi made our day in Hiroshima absolutely unforgettable. Her incredible knowledge and flawless English allowed us to truly understand the profound history and significance of each location we visited. At Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, Mayumi's respectful storytelling brought the history to life while maintaining the appropriate reverence for this sacred space. Her guidance through the Hiroshima Peace Museum was particularly impactful - she shared unique perspectives and pointed out details we never would have noticed on our own, making the experience deeply meaningful and educational. The transition to Miyajima Shrine and Daishoin Temple showcased another side of her expertise. Mayumi seamlessly wove together the spiritual and cultural significance of these beautiful sites, explaining traditions and architectural details that enriched our understanding of Japanese culture. What sets Mayumi apart is her genuine kindness and ability to create a perfect balance between education and emotional connection. She has an intuitive sense of when to share information and when to allow for quiet reflection. Her personal insights and stories added layers of meaning that no guidebook could provide. If you're visiting Hiroshima, Mayumi is absolutely essential. She doesn't just show you the sites - she helps you truly understand and feel their significance. Highest recommendation possible!

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.
