The experience is... - The experience is fantastic. You will see the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park with the museum, and all tickets are included. Lunch is included. The ferry to Miyajima island tickets are included and everything is done by bus. This is ideal if you are staying in Hiroshima. For other places (i.e.: Osaka or Kyoto) you need to add approximately U$S 200 per person for the Shinkansen train (bullet train).

Hiro was our tour Hero(ine) - The tour guide always makes or breaks a tour. Hiro did a super job for us. She is from Hiroshima, and the pride she had in her city was evident our entire trip.

Not to be missed excursion while you’re in Hiroshima!! - Wasn’t sure what to expect. Don’t really like large, impersonal kinds of tours, but this one was perfect for us. We had a group six among 39 other tourists! Our guide, Hiro, and his assistant were kind and spoke English quite well. Got a good handle on the history of the immediate area around the hypocenter, the museum brought our whole group to tears and Miyajima with Itsukushima shrine were beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for better weather!! All in all a fantastic excursion!

Humbling Experience - A Deeply Moving and Educational Experience in Hiroshima. The tour left a profound impact. What made this tour truly exceptional was our guide, who shared the personal, first-hand story of her grandparents’ experience during the atomic bombing of the city. Hearing such a deeply personal account brought a human dimension to the history that no textbook ever could. She spoke with grace, emotion, and authenticity, recounting how her grandparents survived the bombing and how it affected their lives and the generations that followed. Her storytelling was not only respectful and sincere but also incredibly powerful—it helped connect the historical facts with the emotional reality of those who lived through it. Walking through the Peace Memorial Park and Museum with her insights gave each stop greater meaning. She answered our questions with patience and honesty, never shying away from the painful truths, but always emphasising the importance of peace and remembrance. We left the tour not only more informed but also deeply moved. It was a humbling experience that we will never forget. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hiroshima who wants to gain a deeper understanding of its history through the lens of personal memory and resilience.

Perfect day trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima Island from Osaka. Two guides met the group at the bullet train gate. - I arrived from Osaka on the bullet train for this eight hour day in Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. The two guides met the group there at the gate and I was so glad. We went to the bus and got out and did a walking tour with the guide, giving us commentary on amplifier microphones and an earpiece so we could hear what he was saying (English tour) . Saw the peace memorial museum, children’s museum and of course the bomb site. It was so special. We had lunch at a very Japanese little teppanyaki-type local place and were served okynamiyaki. We went back on the bus to the ferry to take us over to the island. The guide did another walking tour with commentary of a Shinto shrine and other facts about the island and of course we saw the famous Vermilion Tori Gate. We took the ferry back and headed back to our original starting place at Hiroshima Station. Our guide even helped many of us to redo our tickets for a different time as we got in around 5:30pm and he helped me to go to the right place to purchase mine back to Osaka as I didn’t know what time we would get back. At every stop both he and his assistant counted all of us and made sure we were all together with the group so no one got lost. All in all this was a great tour exactly what I wanted for the day.

Good day visit to Hiroshima - Good day out with friendly and helpful guides. Lovely local meal included before the ferry to Miyajima island. Seeing the peace park and the museum was sad and upsetting. One thing that could have been better - the quality of the hearing aid. It was hard to hear the guide as the sound was mumbled

Atomic bomb site and museum - I felt more time was needed at the bomb museum and whilst we enjoyed Miyajima we would have sacrificed time there for the museum
