Great way to see another side of Hiroshima - I only had a few days in Hiroshima and this tour was an excellent way to see some of the less famous sights, and see parts of the city I would have missed otherwise. I particularly liked the cathedral, but also visiting the hanko and tea shop and learning more about them. Satchio was a great guide who gave lots of information.

A wonderful small walking trip in Hiroshima - Sachi gave me a wonderful gift today. Most of the places Sachi showed me today are places where local Japanese people visit and live every day. Some of the places are unique to Hiroshima. A small shrine, ordinary lunch spots, a church that praying for peace, etc. Seeing these everyday scenes made me love Japan even more. I highly recommend this city walking trip to foreigners who want to know more about Japan. Thank you, Sachi.

A delightful and informative walking tour - I enjoyed a wonderful walking tour with Sachi and her colleague. They showed me historical parts of the city I would've never found, including the Ebisu Shrine and Memorial Cathedral for World Peace. We also visited the famous Okonomimura food stalls, a tea shop, and stamp maker. Along the way, they shared historical insights and were a delight to meet. Anyone looking for a quiet walk to significant points of interest off the beaten path will enjoy this 2 hour walking tour.

The place known by locals rather than a famous tourist spot - Sachi was a wonderful tour guide!  Her explanation was incredibly understandable. She provided a lot of history and interesting information to us. we are pleased to be able to visit the place known by locals rather than a famous tourist spot. We were impressed by all spots which we visit. Especially, personal seal (called as Hanko) store where we stop by on the way was very impressive. there were many cool designs. we can feel Japanese traditional skills. I highly recommend participating this tour.
