“What a day! Unforgettable experience.”
We had an amazing day with Rika during our cruise stop in Hiroshima. Rika communicated regularly before our tour and arranged a visit to a school teaching "The way of the Tea" direct from the port. It was something we will never forget. We then visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and surrounding area which was incredibly moving, Rika imparted all the information in perfect English. We also experienced the local delicacy Okinomiyaki at an authentic local cafe, it was delicious. We really enjoyed our time with Rika and would highly recommend using her at this special city. We only wish we had more time here to see more. Thank you Rika
Rika F.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly enjoyed spending time with both of you, and I was deeply moved by the way you listened so sincerely and showed such a genuine interest in learning about our history and culture—both during the tea ceremony and at the Peace Park. I would be delighted to welcome you back to Hiroshima one day, and I very much look forward to seeing you two again. Rika

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.
