Traveler reviews
Moving tour of Hiroshima Museum of Peace
It was a wonderful tour! Etsko was a great tour guide, friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and very considerate of our health on a hot day. I recommend her and this tour very highly. Thank you so much!
Hiroshima City Tour
Our tour guide was wonderful. This was a lot of fun and covered many things across the city. Amazing views at the end.
Cruise passenger - small group option for us
We are cruise passengers who had one day only in Hiroshima, our ages are 21 to 70. We picked the perfect option for our group of six, plus one Norwegian lady joined our group. Hiko-san was an incredible guide and shared his personal experience as a second generation a-bomb survivor. There was so much to see and do in Hiroshima, we could not have done this without him. In addition to sharing things related to the a-bomb, he taught us origami, wrote our names in Japanese, and gave us Japanese eating etiquette tips (at our request). The peace museum was PACKED (nothing Hiko-san could do about that) so we did not spend the fully allocated time there - but the day was full and meaningful for us. I am interested in history and had a solid knowledge of WWII before this trip, but nothing compared to being there in person and understanding the human cost that lasts for generations. The lunch is at the end of the tour around 3pm so plan accordingly with a meal or snack before joining the tour. We loved the lunch place that was included with the tour!
Interesting guided tour in Hiroshima.
Very kind, friendly, educational interesting guided tour in Hiroshima.
A Memorable and Meaningful Day
Loved this tour - a very somber and educational experience at the museum followed by a meaningful stroll through the peace park. Our guide, Sake, was the perfect blend of informative and attentive, friendly and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed this very memorable experience.
