Hiroshima Tour Reviews
“Excellent Day”
Kazumi San looked after me and my Father during the tour. We spent time at the peace park/ museum and Miyajima Island. Throughout the day Kazumi san provided historical facts and explanation in clear spoken English. We also tried Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki which was delicious. We had a great day and would strongly recommend Kazumi san’s tour. ありがとうございます
“Lovely Guiding Experience”
Kazumi was an excellent guide and great company. She provided lots of context and historical facts during the tour, which in parts is a challenging experience given the historical significance of the place. We enjoyed the ferry trip across to Myajima Island after experiencing the Okonomiyaki pancake in a local restaurant. The Hiroshima Okonomiyaki prides itself as being better than the Osaka equivalent and we would agree! Thank you Kazumi for making our day special and we would highly recommend her to others considering a guided tour in this area.

(80 reviews)Thank you for your lovely review. Yes, I also really enjoyed being your guide and the conversation with you. I hope you had a great time rest of your staying in Japan and safe back to your home. Thank you Kazumi
“Perfect day”
Kazumi charted out a fantastic tour of the tough-to-take history of Hiroshima and the atomic bomb, filling us in on history, the origin of the memorials, buildings besides the dome and the museum. A very meaningful time. Then a fantastic lunch and trip to Miyajima Island. She had everything planned so we had a full but not rushed day. Thank you!
