Awesome guide for understanding the events and the history of Hiroshima - We had the chance to have a tour of Hiroshima with Masa and she is an awesome guide. We loved her knowledge of the local history and also appreciated that she shared a bit about our personal history within the dramatic events of Hiroshima. I would gladly ask her again in the future if we travel back in Hiroshima.

Excellent Family Tour - We had a wonderful tour around Hiroshima with Ally. She reached out to me ahead of time to finalize the itinerary and met us promptly at our hotel. She is so warm and friendly! We were able to view all the major sites and she did an excellent job explaining everything to us. She went out of her way to make suggestions for other things we might enjoy in the area. Throughout the day, she pointed out many lovely photo spots. It was quite hot the day of our tour and Ally was able to modify our plans to allow extra breaks to cool off. While the history of Hiroshima is sad and heavy, we ended our time there touched by the friendly people and their spirit of resilience. It is definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend this tour with Ally!

History was humanized by the wonderful guide. - Our guide, Masa, is incredibly knowledgable and very accommodating. She was able to craft a well-thought out route through a portion of the city, highlighting the resilience and strength of the people of Hiroshima. Masa brought her family’s personal experiences into her tour, making history accessible and real. Visiting the Peace Memorial and Museum was humbling and Masa ensured that we had all necessary information and support to process what we saw in the exhibits. We highly recommend visiting Hiroshima and reserving Masa’s time, to best appreciate why the story of Hiroshima is an important moment for all humankind.

A walking tour with a personal touch and a wise, enthusiastic guide - Masa was the perfect guide. She met us as planned and looked after us (including getting us on the right trains/luggage). She is a second generation A bomb survivor. Despite the deep and sorrowful experience that is intrinsic to the Peace Memorial museum, she left us with a feeling of peace and hope. Masa also walked us to our train, gave us suggestions for our next destination and checked that we were ok after we left her. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour choice! - We chose the local private tour guide and she was excellent. Full marks to Masa who walked and talked us through a very tragic event in history.

Memorable tour around Hiroshima - My mom and I saw Masayo while she was at a quick stop while giving a tour around Miyajima. As soon as we realized she was a tour guide, we were captivated by the energy she transmitted from the other side of the room. We approached her to see if she has availability for a tour around Hiroshima the day after and luckily she did. Our tour was memorable not only because she is extremely knowledgeable, but her passion for sharing Hiroshima’s history and transmitting Japan’s culture is truly remarkable. Thank you, Masayo!

Great tour with a spectacular guide - Yuji was amazing!!! He’s so knowledgeable and energetic that his spirit uplifts the entire tour. We visited all the major sites in Hiroshima and still had time to catch a train to Himeji to visit the Himeji Castle. Again, Yuji is great!!!🙏
