Our tour guide Nob was... - Our tour guide Nob was amazing! He took us around Miyajima and did a thorough job explaining the history of the shrine and Miyajima island. Since we already knew a lot about Japanese culture, he focused on teaching us things we may not have known. He also was very good at adapting his timeline to our schedule. Finally, he supplemented the trip with stories of his own experiences and his family’s experiences in Hiroshima in a way that was touching and profound. I strongly recommend Nob and this experience.

A most awesome experience! - Maki is an excellent tour guide. She made sure we saw all the necessary sights while providing a great deal of educational info about Japan; both past and present. It was a wonderful experience!

Great tour and guide - Kahori-san is the best. If we had done the trip on our own we would have missed so much of what she was able to show us and share with us. Plus, she was the sweetest with my two daughters - it was like taking a family trip with a favorite auntie.

Excellent day with a wonderful guide - Minori was our guide and she really looked after us. She was well informed about all aspects of the Island and was very flexible with what we included in the trip. Unfortunately for us the Pagoda was being repaired so was not visible and the ropeway was not operating because it was winter so we could not go to the top of the mountain. I would definitely recommend taking this tour.

Had a wonderful time, and tour guide is excellent! - We had a wonderful time, and our guide Kahori made the experience so much better! We decided to go with a tour to make sure we experience Itsukushima as best we can, and Kahori was very supportive, knowledgeable, and shared her local knowledge to us inquisitive bunch. We learned a lot on our tour, with insider tips and stories and all the best photo spots as well. There were a lot of things we would have missed if Kahori didn't help us. We also got many food recommendations which were excellent, and when our train was delayed, Kahori made sure we got to our departure point safely and swiftly. I highly recommend!

Taka gracefully led us through the Itsukushima Jinja shrine and island on new years - Taka was such a great host, he made the whole experience. From the friendly conversation, to knowledge about the island and Japan, to guiding the tour and adapting efficiently through the day. Taka was kind, humble, knowledgeable and easy to get a long with. The sights and the island were unbelievable as well, worth the effort. New years made it an extra challenge but was really glad to see the hussle and bussle of the island during the holidays. Taka was also great to stop and take some photos for us in the right spots. All around amazing tour led by a great host
