Once I send a requested tour offer I hold that date for 36 hours. Please note that I supply tours for several companies and I will close that date to enquiries via other providers for that period; if a booking is not made I reopen my availability. I am contractually obliged to accept bookings made for dates open on a provider site calendar; as such, I cannot guarantee availability until a booking is set. Thanks for your understanding.
** the tour is not available December 29 - 31 (venues closed)
I am very familiar with leading tours throughout Japan so on occasion, I would be happy to create a bigger experience in other parts of the country if you would like to discuss directly with me.
***Please note that this is a three-stage process: We would agree on destinations and activities to be included. 2. I would compile an overview. 3. If that is accepted, the guest agrees to receive a detailed itinerary including information about attractions, activities and transit details.
**Depending on the guest's length of stay and the time required to produce the tour itinerary document the guest may be quoted a fee of my hourly rate up to a maximum charge of (8) eight hours and if satisfied, to agree to accept that (subject to some reasonable amendments), the agreement to receive the itinerary would be a binding contract to agree to pay for the itinerary with no further obligation to accept it as a tour offer.
**Please note that once step three has been started the guest agrees to the payment of the discussed fee.
“A well rounded tour of Hiroshima. ”
Hugh was helpful, talkative and willing to answer questions during his walking tour. He went out of his way to give us food suggestions and even helped us set a reservation for one of the local restaurants. Hugh was knowledgeable as a local resident of the area.If you’re looking for a timely and concise tour, I would recommend.

“Very interesting insights on Japan, japanese and the history of Hiroshima”
We had a most interesting afternoon with Hugh who gave us a enormous amount of knowledge and interesting discussions about the war, japanese history and the japanese way of living. We had several contacts before our day of visit and the arrangement was perfect for our little group. Hugh has an enormous knowledge about Japan and without any problems with language as we all are fluent in english, it was a very inspiring day. Many thanks to Hugh!!

“Very informative tour!”
Hugh was on time and helped us around with coin lockers before starting the tour. Though the weather was really bad and we had to make a lot of adjustments to the itinerary, Hugh was very patient and accommodating to our requests. You can see the passion in his eyes when he talks about the local history. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended!
