“Truly amazing day with Kuzumi, Go with Guide tour!”
We had such an eventful and memorable day with Kuzumi on our Hiroshima World Heritage tour with GoWithGuide. From start to finish, everything was wonderfully organized, interesting, and enjoyable. A highlight was visiting beautiful Miyajima Island and exploring Daisho-in, a historic Shingon temple nestled at the base of Mt. Misen. It was absolutely spectacular — peaceful, filled with hundreds of statues and prayer wheels, and much less crowded than many of the larger tourist sites. Kuzumi shared so much history and cultural insight that we would never have appreciated on our own. Seeing the famous floating Torii Gate and visiting Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was unforgettable. The scenery was stunning and Kuzumi paced the day perfectly. Lunch was another fantastic experience. We enjoyed Hiroshima’s famous soul food — okonomiyaki — at a wonderful local eatery. The combination of cabbage, bean sprouts, pork, egg, and noodles layered on the thin crepe-like batter was absolutely delicious. The historical portion of the tour was deeply moving and incredibly meaningful. In the Peace Park, Kuzumi carefully guided us through the history of Hiroshima and the first atomic bomb used in human history. Visiting the hypocenter, the Atomic Bomb Dome, the monuments, and the museum gave us a far deeper understanding of the tragedy, resilience, and hope that define Hiroshima today. Kuzumi explained everything with knowledge, sensitivity, and compassion. Kuzumi was knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and spoke excellent English. We truly felt we experienced both the famous highlights and the deeper cultural and historical side of Hiroshima and Miyajima. Highly recommended!

“Hiroshima History with Kazumi”
Kazumi was amazing! One of the best tour guides we've had while sailing on a Viking Ocean Cruise ship. She was very informative at all of our sites and was able to answer most questions. We spent a lot of time at the Peace Museum where she had more information than was given at certain points. We saw the big Torii gate in the sea. We weren[t able to visit the Itsukushima shrine becase of time constraints. She introduced us to Okonomiyaki (hiroshima soul food, layered pancake) for lunch. It was very good and quite an experience watching the counter workers chop up the veggies and egg in front of the customers. She speaks English very well and had been very thoughtful throughout the tour. I highly recommend!

“Kind and Warm - Highly recommended”
We had a great time spending the day in Hiroshima and Miyajima with Kazumi. She was very flexible with plans and organized a great day for my family, which included a 2 year old. She is a kind person, patient and soft spoken. She speaks fluent English and has lived in England and USA. We also really enjoyed the lunch option she chose for us, including a vegetarian meal for my family, and managing several allergies for my toddler. We really enjoyed her company and would gladly recommend her to any family considering a guide.

Hiroshima: A journey of memory, Resilience and Peace
If you are visiting Hiroshima to learn about peace, I truly hope you will experience something deeper than simply walking through the Peace Memorial Museum. Hiroshima is not only a place of tragedy, but also a city of resilience, compassion, and recovery. On this tour, I will take you not only to the famous landmarks, but also to special hidden places —such as Schmoe House—places that reveal the lesser-known stories of Hiroshima and make your experience truly personal and unforgettable.
