Very pleasant way to get to know the city and history - Nora was very knowledgeable about the history, traditions, not only of Hiroshima, but all of Japan. She was incredibly patient explaining and giving context of the history to our teen children, even of the difficult parts. It was a very pleasant day that felt like a visit with a relative than a guided tour.

Beautiful experience - Our dear guide, Nora, was fantastic! It was our first day in Japan, and she enlightened us with so many interesting facts and showed us around. Being an English and Philosophy teacher, and on top of that, a tea master, we were incredibly lucky to have her! It was an incredibly beautiful afternoon for us!

Terrific local guide created an unforgettable experience in the limited time we had - We had an excellent experience of Hiroshima with our lovely guide Emi. As a Hiroshima local she had some fascinating insights to share which really enriched the experience. We only had a few hours to see the highlights & so glad we had Emi to guide us.

Lovely afternoon with Emi as our guide. - Emi was so lovely to spend our afternoon with in Hiroshima. Emi is a local from Hiroshima and took us to a lovely hidden gem just outside of the city. We enjoyed beautiful scenery and many statues on our walk together. Emi is knowledgeable about Japan’s history, Japan’s religions as well as local Hiroshima history. You can tell that she loves Hiroshima and is proud of her city and country. We will treasure our time with Emi and the amazing spot she shared with us in Mitaki. Thank you Emi!

Unforgettable experience - We spent a sobering morning at Hiroshima Peace Memorial and right after we met with our guide Nora; she was the most knowledgeable and sweet guide we’ve ever had. She’s spent the last 30 years teaching Japanese philosophy to Japanese students, and knows very bit of the history of this country.
As she showed us around, she told us many interesting stories, always making sure to give us a wider perspective on things.
We truly appreciated spending time with Nora and recommend this guide/tour to anyone who’s visiting Hiroshima for the first time.

Very good tour - The tour was adjusted to our liking. Our guide was well prepared and also gave us alot of tips what to do after the tour as well. She guided us to a nice local resturant and helped us order before our tour ended.

Extremely disappointed - Although the young Indian man that met us was charming and tried his very best, any questions that we asked he referred to Google for an answer. He had absolutely no knowledge of Hiroshima past or present. We were extremely disappointed and would not recommend this company to anybody in the future.

Disappointed! - We expected a Japanese guide with local knowledge of Hiroshima. Guide provided was pleasant & able to take us to sites but was not Japanese & had very limited knowledge of the history of Hiroshima.
