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