“ Very Informative and Fun! ”

Kazumi provided us with exactly what we were hoping for......an informative host for a day of touring in Hiroshima. She helped us to understand the history of the area and answered our many questions about everyday life in Japan today. She was a wonderful host from the moment she met us at our hotel until she ensured we were safely back. Thank you Kazumi!

“ Wonderful very informative 1 day world Heritage tour Hiroshima ”

Best experience ever with our guide Kazumi! She took us to Hiroshima war museum & Miyajima island. We arranged to meet her at our hotel, and she arrived 15 mins earlier then arranged - which was so great. She was so informative and gave us a lot of history about what we were seeing. She was very patient , answered all our questions and never rush us through any of the exhibits. The experience would not have been the same without her and all her knowledge! She was very sweet and had a great sense of humour. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to visit Hiroshima. Thanks Kazumi! Carol/Liz/Lori

Kazumi M.

“ Great tour in Hiroshina - a dream came through ”

Kazumi realized thedream of both of us : visiting Hiroshima and having a private guided tour. She did a great job! Informed us in front how to travel from Osaka to Hiroshina, which hotel to book etc. It was a great adventure for us and Kazumi has a great experiences and information about Hiroshima and WW2. She explained everything very clear and was very helpful. Thanks to her our dream came through. We really recommend Kazumi as being your private guide!
