“UNESCO World Heritage Tour in Hiroshima ”

Keiko is the consummate tour guide, looking after your every need while under her care. From getting picked up on the platform, as we exited our Shinkansen train to finally getting us back to our train station at the end of our day. As I said, our tour started with Keiko picking us up on the train platform as we exited our Shinkansen train from Kyoto. Before we even got to Hiroshima, Keiko had been in contact with us to help us book our train from Kyoto and discuss our itinerary So off we went to our first stop, the UNESCO World Heritage Site on Miyajima Island, a subway ride followed by a Ferry ride. Keiko briefed us on history of the sites we would see on the island as we travelled there. Once on the island, she provided a very thorough and detailed history of the various shrines and temples as we walked among them. We were very impressed with Keiko’s knowledge of the subject matter and the passion with which she shared it. After we completed this part of the tour, we stopped for lunch, the best seats in the restaurant were waiting for us. We got all the info on, Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki, as our lunch was prepared right in front of us. It was delicious, we preferred it to the Osaka style we had tried a few days earlier. Then we were off to the Peace Memorial Park and Museum. We were very moved by Keiko’s presentation of the consequences of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. We discussed numerous aspects of what happened on that day and the days, weeks, months and years after. Despite these discussions, we were overwhelmed by the visit to the Museum which painted a much more complete and shocking picture. After that very somber experience, Keiko returned us to the train station. She made sure we knew where to catch our train and gave us a detailed rundown of the dining scene at the Hiroshima train station. Keiko was the most interesting and knowledgeable guide we have ever had and she made sure we completely looked after.
