I am really looking forward to hearing from you.
Reviews
“Great tour by Ms Kazumi”
My family of 3 took 2 half-day tours with Ms Kazumi. One to the Peace Memorial park area and the other to Miyajima island. Ms Kazumi, being an Hiroshima local, explained the history very well and with great sensitivity. I highly recommend her as your guide.
Kazumi M.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Soon It was a precious time with you for two days. I hope you had a good time in Kagoshima, too and will have a safe journey back to your home. Please send my best regards to your wife and daughter. Thank you and take care Kazumi
“A most enjoyable tour ”
My family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Ms Kazumi. It was fun taking the street car and ferry to Miyajima. Quite fascinating to see the deer (very mild and not at all aggressive) at the island. The torii gate was beautiful and looked as though it was floating in the water. Ms Kazumi gave us lots of interesting information about the religious meaning of the place. She is very pleasant and so easy to strike up a conversation with. We liked her tour very much.
“Brilliant tour of a place with difficult history. ”
Kazumi was a great guide that allowed our family to have a quick view of Hiroshima and the neighboring islands. Very knowledgeable and flexible with the items we were interested in learning more about. It allowed us to spend the couple following days in Hiroshima with more purpose. Would certainly recommend as a tour of Hiroshima.
Kazumi M.

Thank you so much and take care Kazumi
