“Big Day Out in Hiroshima ”

From the moment we met Miyu at the cruise terminal we knew we were in for a special day. She gave us plenty of options for transportation and lunch choices. First stop was Miyajima Island. She timed this stop because the tide was high which gave us the best view of the Tori Gate. Her knowledge of the shrine and temple enhanced our visit tenfold. After lunch we made our way to the Peace Park. Her knowledge of the atomic bomb site and her work with survivors of the blast helped us to empathise with what happened that day on 6th August 1945. Miyu even presented us with paper cranes that she and her grandson had made. The museum was closed so we took the option to visit a beautiful Japanese garden which was excellent. Miyu stayed with us until we were safely in a taxi heading back to our Cruise Ship Well done and many thanks Miyu.

Thank you very much for your kind and generous message. It truly means a lot to me. I am very happy to know that you and your group enjoyed your time in Hiroshima. I sincerely appreciate that you took a moment to reflect on what happened here 81 years ago and on how the people of Hiroshima have lived and rebuilt their lives since then. I wish you continued good health and a wonderful journey ahead.

“A fuller picture and understanding of Hiroshima as a city than you would get on your own”

Our group of four women visited the Peace Museum on our own and met Miyu-san afterward. The Peace Museum is a powerful place and walking through it is a very personal experience. The afternoon with Miyu-san afterward provided us with a fuller picture of Hiroshima residents before the war and after the bombing. After a leisurely but emotionally moving walk through the Peace Park, we walked through side streets, read plaques and learned their significance. We made a short trip to Hiroshima Castle but instead of touring interior opted to visit Mitaki-dera, a tranquil Buddhist Temple with three waterfalls. A perfect soul-filling experience to round out our day in Hiroshima. Miyu-san planned an excellent experience.

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. I truly admire the care and sincerity with which you visited the Peace Memorial Museum and engaged with Hiroshima’s history. I’m happy you enjoyed the peaceful walk at Mitaki-dera. It was a joy for me to spend two days with four wonderful women. I hope you made it home safely, and I hope to welcome you back to Japan and Hiroshima again someday.

“Informative, enjoyable, and efficient afternoon”

Miyu-san welcomed us warmly and led us through an afternoon with efficiently planned transportation, just the right amount of walking, informative stops along the way, and plenty of photo opportunities. We saw aspects of Itsukishima Shrine that we would have missed on our own and was grateful for the time spent at Daishoin Temple.
