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.

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.

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.

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.

The Peace Museum was very moving! The atomic dome haunting. Loved lunch at a local restaurant. Nobo was a great guide.

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.
