Traveler reviews
A fabulous experience
Rio was amazing! Knowledgeable, kind, and funny. She was also very solicitous of our 85-year-old grandma and tailored the agenda so she could participate. We saw all the highlights and learned a lot. Highly recommend!
Miyajima day tour
Great tour, great guide, worth visiting
Awesome tour of Miyajima Island!
Etsko was an amazing guide and a very lovely person! She taught me so much about Miyajima island and all the history. It's a long tour but worth it. It was a great experience and I definitely recommend!
Marvellous Miyajima
We were so lucky to have been guided around Miyajima by the wonderful Rio! She took great care of us, and her friendliness and knowledge really added to the special experience. She was incredibly helpful with my goshuin collection, showing me where to receive them and communicating with the staff on my behalf. And she knows exactly where to get the best photos! The tour included a delicious lunch and ice cream (very welcome in the sweltering heat!) Although it's not possible to see everything the island has to offer in the space of 6 hours, the itinerary was interesting and varied - definitely better than anything I could have planned myself. Highly recommend!
Incredible tour with amazing guide
What an incredible guide Rio is! She is knowledgeable, kind, and truly passionate about sharing the history, culture, and spiritual traditions of Miyajima. We visited beautiful shrines and temples, wandered through hidden passages, listened to the chorus of cicadas in the forest, and enjoyed a peaceful lunch at a quiet local spot with delicious food. Every moment felt thoughtfully planned and unhurried. Rio made the day unforgettable with her warmth and enthusiasm. Thank you for an amazing experience—I couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
