Reviews

Excellent Day in Hiroshima and Miyajima!

We had a fabulous day with Mayumi! She is extremely knowledgeable, very kind and thoughtful and patient. She was mindful of the needs of the various members of the group and effortlessly catered for them all! We learned a great deal in our time with her and would highly recommend her to guide you around Hiroshima and Miyajima!!

Dear Elana. Your beautiful review is very much appreciated. I was so grateful for the graciousness and thoughtfulness of you and your sister in coming all the way to Japan with your father to fulfill his wish that he wanted to come to Japan for a long time. It was surely my honor to have spent the wonderful time with you two and your great father. Wishing you and your family all the best for happiness, long life and peace. In gratitude. Mayumi

Fascinating and informative day with Mayumi in Hiroshima

Mayumi escorted and informed our family, on a day experiencing the beauty and fun vibe of Miyajima, and the sobering and confronting Peace park and museum commemorating the Hiroshima bomb. Her knowledge and patient explanations allowed a deeper appreciation of both sites, and considerably expanded on what we would have learnt without a guide. We all highly commend Mayumi to anyone wanting to see and better understand these important tourist destinations.
