“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.

“Hiroshima peace park and Miyajima island ”
Mayumi met us at the port and we then took a taxi to ferry port to visit Miyajima island where we visited many shrines and temples including the famous O-Torii shrine in the sea . Ferry back to mainland then train and tram to Atomic dome at ground zero and peace park and museum which was very moving. Mayumi was very friendly and knowledgeable and explained everything to us. Another great day.

“Mayumi was very flexible with our changing schedule”
I felt sorry for Mayumi, who had planned a wonderful day for us, when our ship arrived two and a half hours behind schedule at 3:30 in the afternoon. She was able to adapt well to our needs, we wanted to see the Peace Park and Miyajima Island, and knew it would be tight for both. She was able to secure us a large taxi van instead of two cars for our group of five, and we went first to the Peace Park. I know she was disappointed in us not being able to see the large museum, but we didn’t have time to do it justice and it was overcrowded. She managed to get us on the ferry and to Miyajima at exactly the right time for the sunset and then back on the 7:00 p.m. ferry and back to our ship. We could never have done it without her, and it was a delight to spend the afternoon and evening with her. I would have loved to have had our whole day, and she was a good sport about cutting it short. Thanks Mayumi!

Dear Amy. Thanks a million for the great review. The tour was truly thrilling and enjoyable, Lol. You all always had a positive mindset to find something new to discover and not to think negatively about the changes we made, which helped me a lot. I hope you continue to have a great time with many wonderful memories. Regards, Mayumi.
