“A wonderful day with a calm and generous spirit”

My two teenage daughters and I spent a wonderful day with Rika. Her love of her City is plain but she also very generously welcomed us into her home on the island of Ninoshima. We had a very relaxed and enjoyable morning with a variety of creative and cultural activities - calligraphy, onigiri making and paper crane folding. The onigiri were delicious and fun and easy to make, something I hope we can bring home with us. Rika was patient and thoughtful in her explanations of Japanese culture and Hiroshima's history. Despite the devastating history, peace and the beauty of the City and spirit today was always the positive focus. Thank you so much for a special and memorable day.

Thank you so much for your kind and beautiful review. It truly means a lot to me. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful time on Ninoshima. I still remember how focused everyone was during the calligraphy session. It was such a special moment. I hope the scent of the ink was also something you could relax and enjoy. I’m also glad you had fun making onigiri together! I would love for you to try making them again at home. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and your daughters. I truly hope our paths will cross again someday. Rika

“Fantastic Day!!”

We had such a great day with Rika. She met our family at the train station and took us on an amazing tour of Miyajima and Hiroshima. We saw all the important sites, had an amazing lunch, and learned so much. Rika was so thoughtful and had so much insight to share with us. I highly recommend her if you want to have a great day. Thank you Rika from all of my family!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It truly means a lot to me, and it was a very special day for me as well. Although it was raining, I hope it became a memorable part of your trip. I would love to welcome you back to Hiroshima anytime. I look forward to seeing you again! Rika

“Terrific guide for our group”

Rika was really great for our group of 8. Her English was exceptional for Japan. And her attention to detail was over the top. She easily arranged for transportation and secured a dinner reservation at a wonderful Micheline 2 star Kaiseki. Our tour of Hiroshima was comprehensive and her knowledge of the area was on point. She is such a nice person on top of it all! We could not be happier with our decision to use her. Definitely the best guide we have had in Japan so far!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It truly means a lot to me. Spending time with you all was a very special and memorable experience for me as well — not only the tour itself, but also our conversations and the moments we shared throughout the day. I especially enjoyed our time together over dinner; it was such a warm and joyful evening. I’m very grateful that I had the opportunity to meet you. I sincerely hope our paths cross again someday.
