Atomic Bomb Dome is a symbol of Hiroshima, city of peace. It stands out in Hiroshima Peace Park which is now filled with lush greenery and various plants. This is the place we would like people all over the world to visit. Here you'll see the regeneration power of nature and humans.

A picture is worth a thousand words. When I was an elementary school student, I visited Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum as a part of our peace education curriculum. I was terribly shocked at the pictures and personal items of atomic bomb victims. They were much more horrible than I had imagined. I realized that there is a thin line between peace and hell. We shouldn't overlook the preciousness and blessing of peace. People in HIroshima and Nagasaki wish our cities should be the first and last sites of atomic bombing in the world.
n Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, we should refrain from guiding. Audio guide service in English is available for 300 JPY, or you will read explanations using panels placed in front of exhibits.

“Great tour of Miyajima Island!”
Azusa guided my son and I on a day tour of Miyajima Island, and she was excellent. All the logistics were smooth and exactly as planned, and her detailed knowledge of the area allowed us to move from point to point efficiently. On Miyajima itself Azusa took exactly as much time for each attraction/observation that we desired. I highly recommend taking a day trip to Miyajima if you are in the Hiroshima area, and would recommend Azusa to anyone!

(44 reviews)Dear Keith-san, I really appreciate the wonderful review. You both may be surprised to learn that Japanese summer is very humid. You may have been tired, moving from spot to spot under that hot weather. But you are very lucky to have visited Miyajima Island on the day of Itsukushima Shrine's special annual ritual. I think God's blessings were many times greater. And I was very impressed with the way you and your son cared for each other. May your trip to Japan be a long and memorable one for both of you. Good luck! Azusa

“A Most Pleasing Day”
Azusa was a wonderful guide. Her pleasant personality was projected throughout the day. Her knowledge of the city, understanding of the history of Hiroshima was presented beautifully. She certainly takes care of her group, being attentive to all.

(44 reviews)Dear Michael-san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. You all are considerate and full of a great sense of humor. We enjoyed interacting with local students on the train. I am sure they had a memorable time like me. And it was nice to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom on the first sunny day in a long time. After all, cherry blossoms look good under warm sunny skies. I hope you will all continue your journey in good health while making many happy travel memories. Bon voyage! Azusa
“Day tour 8 hours”
Ms Azusa was wonderful. Full of energy, very enthusiastic and fluent in English. Appreciated the lunch reservation- Okonoyomiyaki, which is a Hiroshima special. In both the shrine on Miyajima and the Hiroshima museum, Azusa San stood in long ticket lines, while we had time to take pictures and explore the area briefly on our own. She was very conscientious of our time and allowed us to use it to the fullest. She addressed the history of Hiroshima with accuracy and grace, which was appreciated. We had a wonderful day chatting with Ms. Azsusa throughout the day and would highly recommend her as a guide.

(44 reviews)Dear Kesh-san, I really appreciate your kind review. Your message encourages me so much. I was so happy to share a very enjoyable day with you all. You are very intelligent and caring family. Your questions about Japan have brought me many insights. It has been very inspiring for my work to talk to you. And your humor lightened the atmosphere. I will try to learn from you. You all are in good shape, so next time, please try climbing Mt Misen on Miyajima Island. The view of the Seto Inland Sea from the top is exceptional! I know you all are busy with your work, but please take care of yourselves. Thanks a lot. Azusa
