Must Experience for Any Trip to Hiroshima - A deeply informative and moving day. Our host struck a brilliant balance between teaching and honoring those affected - now and historically - by this horrific event.

Well worth your time. - A wounderful tribute to the victims of the atomic bomb and a painful reminder of the dangers of nuclear war. We took two hours to visit, but could have stayed longer.
Recommended for an eye opening experience for adults and teens.

Gordan is the amazing - From the moment our tour began, Gordon proved to be more than just a guide—he was a storyteller, a historian, and a compassionate bridge between past and present. His deep knowledge of Hiroshima’s history, culture, and resilience transformed what could have been a simple sightseeing trip into a profoundly moving and enriching experience.
Gordon masterfully balanced the solemnity of Hiroshima’s past with the beauty and hope of its present. At the Peace Memorial Park, his respectful and heartfelt narration brought the stories of survivors to life, honoring their memories while emphasizing the importance of peace and understanding. He didn’t just recite facts—he shared perspectives, asked thoughtful questions, and created space for reflection.
If you’re visiting Hiroshima and want more than just a tour—if you want a meaningful, memorable journey—ask for Gordon. He doesn’t just show you the city; he helps you understand its soul.

The most incredible tour - This tour was the most amazing and humbling experience. Yumi was the most incredible guide, who made the tour a stand out moment of our trip. We will never forget this experience or Yumi. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

We stayed on our hunger. - Our guide Friend was very kind but very reserved. We would have liked more information about the history and events in general. It took us to the different sites but unfortunately we didn’t feel like we learned much more than we saw at the museum. In addition, our guide arrived on time at the meeting place. We would have liked her to be there 5 or 10 minutes in advance because we were not sure we were in the right place.
