“Hiroshima highlighted with local insights ”
Kazumi’s local knowledge combined with her friendly easygoing personality made her the perfect guide. A sombre and reflective morning spent visiting the peace park and museum was followed by a wonderful lunch of crispy okonomiyaki. Our afternoon was a visit to the delightful Miyajima Island.
