Love! - Loved this day! This was our favorite day in Japan by far. We had the sweetest tour guide that showed us things we would have otherwise missed. The temples on the island for some of our top temples. Hiroshima was so sad but such a peaceful feeling. I would definitely do it again.

Don't miss this! - We LOVED this day. It brought laughter and tears and beautiful pictures. We had the best tour guide, Yuka. We were on a time constraint and she customized our tour so that we could still get everything in that we wanted. We loved her knowledge and cute personality. We learned so much through her and through our tour of what we saw. We really enjoyed this day.

Private Tour to Miyajima and Hiroshima - Our guide Yuka first accompanied us to Miyajima - to the shrine depicted in each guide. The sight is indeed indescribably beautiful. We received a lot of information on how to behave properly there. Then we went to Hiroshima. We were taken to historical places that we had not yet discovered on our own exploration and learned a lot about the history of the city and the way Hiroshima residents dealt with the memories of the atomic bombing, which moved us a lot.

Our guide Masa. Highly recommended. - Masa was an excellent guide and was very patient with our group which included two children. However , she ensured we were well informed about the culture and history of the places we visited. She has a very relaxed attitude and answered all our questions quite objectively. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who would like an honest and respectful discussion from someone who has a direct connection to the history of Hiroshima.

Highlight of our trip! Masa is an incredible guide we were so lucky to have her - Our tour with Masa was incredible. She is so lovely, kind and patient, especially with our 2 kids. It was a privilege to learn about the history of Hiroshima, and hear about her family. Miyajima island is a must see as well and Masa took the time to explain the significance of this beautiful, sacred place. Highlight of our trip! Thank you so much Masa! Xx

Yuka was our tour guide... - Yuka was our tour guide and we had a great time! It was a seven hour tour and the day flew by. We saw so much, but the pace allowed us to take everything in and enjoy Hiroshima. We truly valued the knowledge and insight that Yuka brought to the tour.

An exceptional tour not to be missed - What an amazing day we spent with our wonderful guide Masa. Not only did she consult very well with us about what we wanted to do, but she shared her knowledge of her culture and country very openly and very intelligently. We felt very privileged to be taken into her world. The day simply flew by without any effort on our part, and we always felt well cared for (it was very hot). Her knowledge of the temples and rituals/ceremonies was fascinating and with her attention to detail we gleaned so much from our visit. But it was the personal stories around the Peace Park that greatly enhanced our understanding of the horrors the city faced and the incredible resilience of the citizens of Kyoto. We were sad to leave her but so uplifted by experiencing this amazing city of Japan. Thank you Masa.
