Exceptional Tour of Hiroshima

Our tour of Hiroshima with Mayumi is the top highlight of our 2 week stay in Japan. Our family of 4 truly enjoyed every moment of day that was packed with visiting important historical sites and beautiful landmarks. Mayumi's knowledge base is unmatched to any other guide we've had. She was so gracious to schedule a last minute tour for us and squeezed in the most amazing experiences. Thank you so very much Mayumi! You truly made our visit to Hiroshima and experience we will never forget.

Dera Krysla, I am very honored to receive your excellent review. I appreciate that you made the time to come to Hiroshima in spite of the hot weather. Hoping you and your family enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan, even though the hot and humid weather is likely to continue. All the best. Mayumi

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
