“Great day with Rika”
What an amazing day we had with Rika. She was so informative, passionate, and you can really tell how much she loves her city. We had a lovely time being shown around by her and learnt a lot. Her organisation made the day run smoothly. We feel so lucky to have met her.

“Unique Hiroshima Tour: History, Culture, and Care”
Our tour around Hiroshima with Rika was truly unforgettable. The day began with a scenic ferry ride to the small island of Ninoshimacho, where we immersed ourselves in Japanese culture by learning to make onigiri and fold paper cranes. This hands-on activity set a thoughtful and engaging tone for the rest of the trip. While on the island, Rika shared its history, including its important but lesser-known role during World War II. After Ninoshimacho, we continued our exploration of Hiroshima, visiting key historical sites connected to the atomic bombing. Her insights were both educational and heartfelt, giving us a deeper appreciation for the resilience of the city and its people. Rika took us to the peace memorial, where we had the deeply moving experience of placing our paper cranes as a symbol of remembrance and hope. What truly set her apart was her kindness and attention to detail. She went out of her way to offer advice and assistance for our onward travels, even writing a note we could show at restaurants to inform them of my daughter’s food allergy. This extra care made us feel incredibly supported and at ease throughout the trip. Rika’s knowledge, warmth, and thoughtful approach made this a very meaningful travel experience. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Hiroshima and its surrounding areas!

I am truly delighted to receive such a wonderful review, and I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time in Hiroshima. My husband and I enjoyed the cookies you gave us, savoring them while feeling a touch of foreign charm. Thank you so much for that as well. I believe that travel should be both enjoyable and safe, and it brings me great relief to know that my support could be of some help to you. Please do visit Hiroshima, the city I deeply love, again someday to enjoy a relaxing time on the island. Thank you very much. Rika

“Amazing Tour Guide”
We had such a fantastic day with Rika! She took us to a beautiful little house on the island of Ninoshima where we learned how to make onigiri and fold origami cranes. She talked about her childhood growing up in Hiroshima and told us the story of Sadako and the thousand cranes. We spent the afternoon in Hiroshima touring places that were not the normal sites for tourists and she took us through the history of the bombing of Hiroshima and the process of healing and recovery that has taken place since. I highly recommend that everyone visit Hiroshima when traveling to Japan and book a tour with Rika. It was a very special day.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted to hear that you found the onigiri-making experience, the island house visit, the origami crane activity, and the time at the Peace Park meaningful. For me as well, the conversations we shared about peace and Hiroshima during the ferry rides and at the island house were both enjoyable and meaningful. It was truly an honor to meet you both in Hiroshima, a place I hold so dear. Please visit Hiroshima again—I’ll be waiting for you! Rika
