Kaori, our guide is the best! she reached out a day before and helped us get to the island the best way possible, which saved us so much time. Upan arrival Kaori got us up to the cable cars well ahead of the crowds and continuesly gave us great tips on where to stand and where to go! loved that she kept taking pictures of us and is very knowledgeable about the island and it’s surroundings. Tip 1. If you are staying near Peace Park, take the Heritage Ferry and opt to meet your guide on the island. 2. as with most sights in Japan…Go early! 3. You may want to stay and wander around a little longer after the tour as 4 hours is a little short.
