Hiroshima with Yoko
susan_w, Apr 2024
The guide very knowledgeable and friendly She went above and beyond her duties Great day was had by us all The car we had was fantastic and very comfortable.
Perfect tour
Nicholas_D, Apr 2024
Fantastic day, our guide Mr Ikuta confirmed our plans the day before. We were then met 15 mins earlier than start time which was excellent as we only had the one day in Hiroshima. Mr Ikuta was professional, friendly and very respectful. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the main sites in the comfort of your own private van. Mr Ikuta’s local knowledge was excellent and his English was proficient. He booked us in for lunch which was also excellent. All in all a great success and can’t be more thankful for his hospitality.
As advertised

This tour not pleasant, nor is it meant to be. Mr. Obara was efficient, on-time and pleasant. We saw what we came to see, had time to think, and enjoyed his comments. We also appreciated how he adjusted the program to deal with rain and personal preferences.
This Hiroshima tour was exceptional!
Julie_O, Mar 2024
Our tour of Hiroshima was an unforgettable experience that perfectly balanced historical reflection with the city's vibrant spirit. Our guide, Nobumasa, was exceptional. His knowledge of Hiroshima's past was profound, yet delivered with sensitivity and respect. The tour hit all the major landmarks, including the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. The A-Bomb Dome, was a haunting reminder of the city's tragic past. We learned about the survivors' stories and the unwavering spirit of Hiroshima in rebuilding. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum was equally moving, filled with artifacts and exhibits that depicted the devastation and the ongoing pursuit of peace. A welcome contrast came with a visit to Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island. The iconic "floating gate" was even more breathtaking in person. We explored the serene island, and even got to see some friendly sika deer! The tour wasn't all history and somber reflection. Nobumasa also drove us around showing us some of Hiroshima's modern highlights and showcasing the city's remarkable transformation. Overall, this Hiroshima tour was exceptional. It offered a comprehensive understanding of the city's past, present, and future. Nobumasa's expertise and passion for Hiroshima made the experience even more enriching. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a thought-provoking and memorable journey through this remarkable city.
Unforgettable

Mr.Obara. our driver/guide was waiting for us in lobby. I mentioned about my husband walking problem when I booked this trip. To our surprise, he had a wheelchair ready for him. Thanks to that we could truely enjoy the tour. Lots of places are not accessible by car in Japan. He was very knowledgeable about his city of Hiroshima.
Wonderful day in Hiroshima.

The Peace Museum was very moving! The atomic dome haunting. Loved lunch at a local restaurant. Nobo was a great guide.
Very good experience.
Nimmo_B, Nov 2023
Our guide/driver, Nobu San was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. He was well prepared with advance ticket purchase for the museum and ferry. He managed our time very well so that we could cover everything we wanted to see and visit. He also accommodated our special requests. Very good experience.

Hiroshima Memorial was an extremely moving experience which I find difficult to express in words. I am grateful to have seen it.

An exceptional shore excursion for an exceptional value
Avram_G, Mar 2023
This city tour was our second of three private, small group shore excursions set up by Japan Oriental Tours. So far, I cannot express enough good praises for this company, the tour guides they contract and the two customer service representatives I’ve been working with – Ayako Adachi for this day in Hiroshima and Pham Thu Huong for our past tour in Kochi and our future tour in Kagoshima. Any and all questions and modifications were addressed professionally and competently. The tour guides were extremely likable, caring, well informed and flexible. Mr. Shuichi Aratani, our Hiroshima driver/guide, greeted us at the terminal smartly dressed in a suit and tie and brass name badge. He explained our destination stops with the help of diagrams and pictures in a notebook he carried, as did Ms. Kiyo Tomonaga the day before in Kochi. If you don’t have a lot of time to explore Japan but seek as much an immersion of Japanese culture as time permits, I highly recommend booking any tour set up by Japan Oriental Tours within Viator or other booking platforms.

Dear Mr Avram Gold, it's been our great pleasure and our guide and driver are very grateful. Please enjoy the rest of your tour! Ayako Adachi
Wonderful experience!

Caitlin C, Jun 2017
Lovely guide and a nice easy way to get around to the sights. Unfortunately though, our group were disappointed by the lack of knowledge provided on the day. Most guides provide information on where you are and what you're looking at, but little was discussed and he was mostly there to get us around.
