A great day in Hiroshima! - We had a great day with Minori seeing the sights of Hiroshima. Minori was very sensitive to our needs, including finding a great vegan restaurant for us to eat at. She was very flexible, patient and friendly and very engaged with our son. With her expert guidance we saw vastly more than we could have in one day on our own . we would highly recommend Minori and hope to do another tour with her when we return to Hiroshima. My

Best tour! - My teen boys, and husband all agreed that this tour was one of the highlights of our trip! We took several tours (all group) and this private tour was outstanding! The ability to be able to ask as many questions as we wanted, modify the itinerary based on our interests and learn from our guide Minori was priceless! 1000/10 would recommend this to anyone considering it.

Great all day trip/tour from Kyoto - We met Yuta for an all day Hiroshima tour. It was definitely one of our top highlights of our 2 week trip to Japan. Yuta met us at the train station as we traveled from Kyoto. He was very knowledgeable and had us engaged and interested from the beginning. We really like the balanced approach of seeing many different areas of Hiroshima. We learned so much about the people, history and culture. We highly recommend this tour with Yuta.

Great Personalized tour - My husband and I visited Hiroshima during a cruise stop, so our time was limited. We’re truly glad we booked this personalized tour, as it allowed us to explore exactly what we wanted with our wonderful guide, Minori. Experiencing the sights with her deep knowledge made all the difference, bringing history to life rather than just viewing landmarks. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Hiroshima, appreciating both the insightful historical context Minori provided and the peaceful moments spent admiring the garden views. I highly recommend booking this tour.

Spend the Day Exploring Hiroshima with an excellent hometown guide - Wow what an amazing experience! From our pick-up at the hotel, learning the history of the beautiful city Hiroshima and its sobering past, to an early morning ferry to explore Miyajima island, and lunching on okonomiyaki at the BEST restaurant in town this was a fantastic tour. Minori is a local, passionate, fun, and knowledgeable guide who provides tremendous insight of her hometown. This tour was truly a highlight of our trip to Japan.

Marvelous Day with Minori exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima - My daughter and I had an amazing tour and day with Minori. She met us at the train station and from there we hit the ground running. We were able to choose the sites we wanted to visit, she throughly explained the importance of the sites we toured and pointed out areas for us to see that we would have overlooked touring ourselves. She took us to the most amazing place for lunch. The food was amazing!!! She was patient with us, assisted in photos.....I can not recommend her enough if you are looking for a fabulous tour in Hiroshima and Miyajima. You will not be disappointed!!

Awesome walking tour!!! - We had a walking tour of Hiroshima with Minori on a beautiful summers day. She was extremely knowledgeable and took us to some spots such as the underground survivors basement and the Shukkeien Garden which we wouldn’t have gone to if we went alone. Minori was super friendly and we had some interesting discussions as we walked around the key sights. Would definitely recommend to anyone exploring Hiroshima for the first time. Best, Josh and Maegan

Amazing guided tour of Miyajima island - We had the most amazing morning to Miyajima Island from Hiroshima. We visited Itsukushima Shrine and Daishouin Temple before doing a little souvenir shopping. Our guide was absolutely excellent and also gave us other recommendations for the rest of our stay in Hiroshima! I would highly recommend a tour
