Hiroshima Prefecture

Highlight of the trip! Such an incredible experience guided by wonderful hosts. Highly recommend :)

The patterns on the kimono and obi are beautiful and have a luxurious feel. The staff speaks good English and provides attentive service, not rushing you to choose or change clothes. They also proactively help with taking videos and photos. The outside garden also has a very traditional Japanese feel, and the beautiful maple leaf environment is perfect for taking photos. The whole experience was excellent.

The two of us participated in the workshop and learned a lot. Tiffany has a great deal of experience with the instrument and teaching students! Later, we even received a video of the song we practiced. It was very entertaining and we had a lot of fun. We highly recommend the course.

This was an extraordinary experience and I highly recommend you try it if you have the opportunity. Midori-san has 45 years of brush making experience and is one of the few certified experts in all of Japan.

I had really been looking forward to our trip to Hiroshima, highly recommended by my nieces, and it truly exceeded expectations. Our guide, Joe, met us at the station and quickly organized the group. He explained the day’s program clearly and provided headphones so we could always hear him. He shared both the history of Hiroshima and his personal connection to the city, which made it even more meaningful. We were also given a beautiful little origami crane made by his wife, which now has a special place on my desk at work. Joe’s genuine interest in us and our culture created a warm and engaging dialogue throughout the day. Hiroshima was deeply moving and thought-provoking. Lunch was lovely, and visiting the floating Torii gate and the temple on the island was simply magical. Joe has my warmest and very best recommendation.

Rino was great!! A very dynamic and fun guide 😁 The museum visit is very overwhelming because the place is very small and you can't properly observe the photo and object exhibit on the upper floor. They should have a lower capacity of people at a time so it can be appreciated. The rest of the tour was very good.

This was an excellent tour for our family (inc 2 x young teens), with our guide, Matsuko, providing excellent information and tailored content suitable for the variety of ages and nationalities on the tour. All locations included time for both guided and independent exploring. Pre-tour communication was excellent, and all instructions easy to navigate and understand. Would highly recommended, especially for the time exploring Miyajima Island.

we had a fantastic time on this tour to see Miyajima Island and Hiroshima. Astrid our guide shared lots of great information about everything to make us appreciate everything more. Both Astrid and Ito-san our driver were very friendly and cheerful. Highly recommended and enjoyable.

My Husband and I booked this tour as part of our Honeymoon. I am so glad we booked the Private Tour for Hiroshima. Our guide was Aya and we could not have asked for anyone better. She reached out to us once we booked to confirm details and check if there was any sights we were particularly interested in, as well as any dietary requirements. We were happy to take any of Aya’s recommendations for our day tour. From the moment we met her, we could feel her warmth and kindess and we knew we were going to have a great day. It was so special to have a tour with someone born, raised and still living in Hiroshima. Aya was very knowledgeable and always checking in on how we were throughout the day. There is a lot of walking, but it was made easier with Aya poining out lots of interesting facts along the way. She also took us around some spots on Miyajima Island that were less crowded, without missing any of the highlights. I cannot recommend this private tour enough.
