Hiroshima and Miyajima 1 Day Walking Tour

We had an absolutely...

We had an absolutely wonderful day at Miyajima and the Atomic bomb dome and museum. My family of six and I could not have asked for a better guide than Momoko. She was sweet and considerate and interacted with everyone in our group. My children enjoyed talking to her immensely. It is not an expectation or requirement but it was very helpful in our case that she spoke such fluent English. We started our day taking a train and then a ferry to the beautiful island of Miyajima where we walked through the village to get to the Tori gate and the shrine (both of which were incredibly impressive). Then Momoko took us to some of the much less explored and crowded shrines and sites around the area and we were very glad she did. Later we walked through the streets after the village and grabbed food and snacks on our way back to the ferry. Overall, the island was absolutely gorgeous and memorable for us all. Afterwards, we traveled by trolley car to the Atomic bomb dome and walked through the sites around it on our way to the museum. The whole atmosphere is very somber and sobering and the museum is not to be missed- a definite must if you are spending even one day in Hiroshima. Again we were very appreciative of Momoko for taking the time to show us things that we felt many people missed and even went above and beyond to ensure we got back to our trolley station near where we were staying. If I didn't state it enough earlier, my family and I can't recommend this tour enough. We will remember it forever and are so appreciative to the company and our guide Momoko for making it all happen so seamlessly!

Great tour

Riona was a wonderful tour guide! She took us to all the site we wanted to see and provided great details, took great photos, and even gave us a dinner recommendation.

Take this tour

We had a wonderful time. Our guide, Dobara is a very sweet, kind and patient gentleman. He did his best to explain in detail the history of each visited site. He works very hard. A good tour to undertake if you come to Hiroshima.

Extensive Hiroshima and Miyajima Tour

Our tour guide, Azusa, was very knowledgeable. She also took us a great pace for our elderly friends in our group. I would recommend this tour to first time visitors.

Excellent knowledgable guide. Really enjoyed the tour

The museum was very moving & interesting. The island was beautiful & we got to go in a temple & see far reaching views from the top. Our guide also helped us shop which was much appreciated

Incredible Hiroshima Tour

My 21 year old son and I had a wonderful day in Hiroshima and this was largely due to Miyuki our guide. Miyuki was very knowledgeable about the history of this beautiful place and made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met her. We got a little lost and were a few minutes late to start the tour and thankfully she waited for us to begin our day!! Such a beautiful place and very grateful for such a wonderful guide. Would definitely recommend this tour and Miyuki.

Hiroshima and Miyajima day.

We had a lovely day exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima with our knowledgeable and fun guide Aya. We saw the museum, the memorial park and went to the magical island Miyajima. Aya was a perfect guide giving us a lot of tips on where to go, what food to get for a nice picnic and told us about her own connection to the bombing. It was a lovely day and Aya also kindly sent us photos of the day.

Memorable ans highly recommended private tour

Our tour guide Mr. Masahiko Joguchi (Joe) planned the walking tour meticulously. He was proactive to create a detailed itinerary prior to the tour day and meet us at Hiroshima station. Due to change in weather conditions he even adjusted the schedules accordingly. We went to Miyajima island first and then to Hiroshima memorial, where we had an immersive experience of history, culture and the beauty of Japan. Joe was polite, accommodating and has deep knowledge of Japanese history and culture while taking us through each places in the itinerary. We used the Ferry, Metro and Trams as our various modes of transport during the guided tour. Another highlight was the food and shopping experience that were planned as part of the tour. Overall it was a memorable day well spent under the guided tour of Mr. Masahiko Joguchi. We recommend him and this private guided tour to anyone visiting Hiroshima/Miyajami.

Hiroshima and Miyajma is a must see

Hiroshima was our last stop during our Japan visit and I can't stress enough that how much we loved this city and it is a must do for everyone if traveling to Japan. Hiroshima is a beautiful city and visiting the memorial is a must. Every human being should see this place to appreciate life and support peace. Our tour guide was Hiro and she was an amazing person. Hiro is very informative and knowledgeable person, she is very friendly and kind, she made our trip and the tour very easy and fun. She had a very nice organized itinerary and also made it based on our personal preference. Thank you

Japan 2024

We had a great time. Kako was an awesome tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was able to guide us through the day and even fit in sometime for us to shop as well

Great tour but please note it is one of the few that is non-refundable

Mei, our guide was GREAT! She adapted our tour to accommodate our travel schedule and priorities for the day. She found a fabulous location for lunch that allowed us to see "Japanese pancakes" being made in front of us...something we wanted to do but did not think we would have time. She shared historical and cultural information. The tour itself is a 5 star however, the communication prior to the tour was not.

Great trip great guide

Our guide Kiyoshi was prompt had an itinery for us and had the day fully mapped out. He was very polite and although we had a little trouble understanding we managed fine. He was very knowledgeable and took us to some wonderful places even though the weather was against us we really enjoyed ourselves.could not rate highly enough.

Hiroshima and Miyajima day trip

The tour guide, Hiro, made every part of the tour amazing. His knowledge of the area and his English made it the best.

Give us Tom or give us death!!

Well there really are no words that could do justice to such a great experience. All because of the tour guide-Tom. To say he knocked it out of the park would be such an underwhelming way of describing our experience it's almost an insult. Tom was so knowledgeable about all aspects of the trip, bus routes, local culture, food, traditions...I could go on. At the end when parting ways both my wife and I had tears in our eyes. If you can request a specific guide Tom's the one for you and this trip was made a significant positive lifetime memory because of him.

Happy little tourist

This was an excellent walking tour, everything was so close together when walking, so don’t stress if you think it is ages to walk. The tour guide had so much knowledge and stories about all the sites, was so nice for someone that isn’t massive into history in the tour group. Loved it and so glad I did this tour.

Good tour, recommended....

Good tour, recommended. Had a nice day with very agile transitions and plenty of time for every activity.

Thank you Miyuki san for a WONDERFUL day!

WE had a great day with Miyuki san! She is sweet and kind! WE enjoyed our walking tour so much that the day went by fast! WE learned so much about the history and traditions of Hiroshima. Hiroshima Okonomiyaki and the maple leaf treats from Miyajima Island were oishii!

Perfect Day in Hiroshima

We had a wonderful full day tour with Joguchi (Joe). He provided a very informative tour of the Peace Park and the museum. We then had a delicious okonomiyaki lunch overlooking Hiroshima bay. Our visit to Miyajima was beautiful, and Joe even treated us to traditional maple leaf cakes. At the end of the day, he went out of his way to take us to a Japanese garden that was illuminated after dark to show off the wonderful fall colors. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect day in Hiroshima, we highly recommend this tour!

Hiroshima Peace Memorial

Very informative trip. A lot to do and see in 1 day. Our guide was organised and the day went smoothly. There were big crowds at the museum making it difficult to see the exhibits and we had to rush through.

Miyuki - the best tour guide in Japan.

Miyuki was a wonderful guide. She is very engaging with both my 18 yr old daughter and myself. She is knowledgable of the places she took us. We thoroughly enjoyed this guided tour with her. I have to say she is the best tour guide I have ever had, among tour guides all over the world. And, her English is superb (having been an English major in college and her having taught English. Definitely and highly recommend her.

ABCD-Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

Our guide Tsutomu who asked us to call him Tom was amazing. He was very knowledge about Hiroshima and extremely helpful and kind. We enjoyed the tour from start to finish. He went above and beyond the call of duty. In addition, seeing Hiroshima and learning of the lasting devastation was a humbling experience.

Amazing

Kyoko was very nice and knowledgeable about the history of Miyajima and Peace memorials. We had a delicious otomomiyaki for lunch with a little time for shopping. I enjoyed her company and we both want to come back and visit again. Mahalo Kyoko 🌸🙏🏻

Charmante Führung durch Friedenspark und Miyajima

Sehr herzliche und kompetente Guide. Wir haben einen fantastischen Tag verbracht. Kumiko konnte uns alle Sachverhalte auf eine charmante Weise beibringen und konnte sich auf jede Situation und jeden Wunsch einstellen
