“Fantastic tour with Kazumi”
We had a wonderful customised tour with Kazumi. As a group of 7 with kids under 10 and adults she was very kind, friendly and easy to talk to. She customised a tour for us that was perfect to see the sights of Hiroshima as well as Miyajima Island. Our kids warmed to her quickly and we all enjoyed her historical knowledge and she answered all of our many questions about Hiroshima and Japanese culture. Thank you Kazumi for a great day!!

“Fantastic day in Hiroshima with Kazumi”
Kazumi was a fantastic guide. We had a lovely time with her. She was flexible and accommodating in terms of what we wanted to see and do. She was very easy to chat with and very knowledgeable about the past history, the events leading up to the bombing, and subsequent rebuilding of the city. She had many stories to tell of the inpact at an individual level - even how it affected her grandparents. We spent the morning at the museum, Peace Park and the Atonic Dome; then went by ferry across to Miyajima Island where she showed us around the shrine and temple . It was exactly what we wanted, very personal, and Kazumi was great with communication and arrangements leading up to the day. I highly recommend her.
