Hiroshima Tour Reviews
“Such a knowledge!”
We had a tour of Miyajima today with Michi. She was incredible. So well versed and taught us so so much about the religions and the significance of the different temples and shrine. Very happy with the tour and excited for our tour of Hiroshima tomorrow.
“Excellent Tour, excellent Tour Guide”
We had a great day with Michuri and we could visit all Memorials, Museums, Shrines and Gardens as she had planned. She looked after us family of five and made sure that all questions were answered, that we always had enough water to drink and even brought us to a great sushi place where she was brave enough to try the puff fish with us. Thank you very much for a wonderful day in Hiroshima

“Fantastic trip in Kure city by Michiru. ”
I had a fantastic trip with Michiru in Kure city near Hiroshima. I always had an interest in Japanese Navy so I was happy that she accommodate my request and we were able to visit their important sites. She was very kind, thoughtful and flexible in doing the tour. I will be sure to use her service again when visiting the Hiroshima area.
