Reviews
We want to thank Kensuke for an amazing day on the Hiroshima tour. His knowledge and warmth made our 1/2 day walking tour of Hiroshima a pleasure. He was kind and thoughtful to our varied age group and family dynamics. The tour of the gardens and the photos he took will be treasured. The peace memorial and museum gives many pause I am sure. We were very fortunate as a family of four to have Ken guide us only. It made for a great tour and easy for us to hear the information he shared. As an Hiroshima native his knowledge and care of the topics was 1st rate.
The Hiroshima half day waking tour was fantastic. We fit a lot into a relatively small amount of time and Ken, the guide, was very nice and informative. Highly recommended.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Kensuke. For the first half, we essentially got a private tour until the remaining participants met up with us late due to train delays. Ken even offered to take them back around to the sights they missed after the tour - so kind and generous. We learned so much history and culture at each stop. We ate at a restaurant he recommended after the tour, and it ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip. Would highly recommend taking this tour!
such a moving and insightful tour we felt so much emotions and was so grateful that we had this opportunity to be here and experience history. Our tour guide was great. He was so fun. My boys loved him definitely recommend.
HIGHLY recommend! Our tour guide Ken was amazing, really knowledgeable. We joined the tour late due to snow so missed the first part, Ken stayed back and took us to the places we missed! The tour was really really interesting and wouldn’t havnt have been the same had we did this with out them! we can’t thank Ken enough for being so kind and the tour company being so great to us.
100% recommend! We had Ken as our guide, he was so informative and took time to explain everything thoroughly. We weren’t rushed all day, he ate lunch with us and was happy to talk all things Japan with us. Ken made travel arrangements really easy, took care of everyone, and gave lots of great recommendations for the rest of our trip! We thoroughly enjoyed the day, thank you Ken!
The tour with Ken was fantastic. Ken was really well organised and enthusiastic- it was really interesting, and humbling, to learn more about the history of Hiroshima. Ken speaks very good English and took lots of photos of our group (it helps that we had a great group, in particular a really lovely Aussie couple who were great company too). Would recommend this tour to anyone, especially with Ken as a guide!
Ken made our day enjoyable. He made sure we are ok and not rushing. we learnt a lot about the history. Thank you again.
