Traveler reviews
Hiroshima tour
We travel quite bit and have done many tours. Rino was excellent. She was very organized, informative and punctual. Exploring the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum site is a very emotional experience. It’s an excellent museum that that examines that hellish experience from many perspectives. You see the impact it had on so many lives, emotional, physical, financial, spiritual. The following trip to Miyajima was uplifting. It is a place of much natural beauty and peace.
Wonderful Hiroshima and Miyajima tour
One of the best use of time and money to explore Hiroshima and Miyajima. The tour takes you through Hiroshima Atomic bomb drop site, Hiroshima Museum and Peace park in the morning, Miyajima Ferry and lunch at Miyajima, O Tori gate, Itsukushima Shrine and Daisjoin temple. Our tour guide Rino was wonderful and the most energetic young your guide we've seen. She is the best.
Excellent experience in Hiroshima!
The tour was totally worth it, especially thanks to the exceptional service from our guide, Rino. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and had a brilliant attitude throughout the entire trip. She provided very clear and detailed explanations about the history of each site we visited. Plus, the included food was a great touch: the okonomiyaki was truly delicious. I highly recommend this tour with Rino!
A must book tour in Hiroshima
I would certainly recommend Rino and her team. She was fantastic and went beyond expectations to show us everything from the Peace Memorial Museum and Park , Atomic Bomb Dome to Miyajima island. The tour has lunch included so you get to try the traditional Hiroshima okonomiyaki. So when you visit Hiroshima book your tour with the Japan Panoramic tours and consider yourself lucky if you get Rino.
Fantastic tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima
Rino was so energetic and entertaining while delivering a fantastic learning experience. We were given clear instructions and free time to explore on our own. We also learned a lot about the area. We will definitely recommend this tour to family, friends and co-workers, especially if they can request Rino as their tour guide.
