A Brilliant Tour Guide - Our tour guide, Masayo Kobayashi, was utterly brilliant. She was kind, caring, knowledgeable and took care of us like we were the closest of friends. We couldn't have asked for better.

Super recommended! - We had a great family experience with our MASA guide. Extremely professional when doing your job, with the best attitude, patience and kindness. He speaks English perfectly POR the tour ES much more agile and the explanations DE the places are more fluent. Unlike DE other tours we have taken ES this trip, where it is difficult to understand the English spoken by local guides. The times were perfectly coordinated and we knew the beautiful Island DE Miyajima. And we were able to tour the island so special and the shocking temple. Thank you and we definitely recommend it. NO hesitation EN contacting Masa.

Masa was a wonderful Miyajima tour guide! - Masa was a wonderful tour guide for our half day visit to Miyajima island. She shared a wealth of knowledge about the area, the significance of this holy island, and the culture in general. She also shared personal stories about the history of her family in Hiroshima, from before WW2 and after. She kept us moving at a good pace, always found nice spots to see a special view or cool off and refresh from the heat. If you plan to visit Miyajima, Masa would be an excellent choice! (And make sure to plan yoir visit around high tide on your calendar date, so you can see the floating Tori gate in all its glory.)

A Great Private Walking Tour Experience! - My experience with Masa was a great experience! Her knowledge of the history of Miyajima greatly enhanced my experience as I am a history teacher. The historical details she shared with me enhanced my appreciation of the importance of Hiroshima, historically. She also shared experiences that impacted my view of the use of the atomic bomb as well. Had I the chance to change one thing, is that I would have booked a longer tour and included the Hiroshima Peace Museum and Dome. I hope to return to Hiroshima in the future and take one of her other tours with Masa!

Beautiful afternoon at Miyajima - We had a special trip from Hiroshima to Miyajima. Our guide , Yuka, had a very well-organized schedule. The afternoon walk was beautiful. The island is very vibrant and special. In addition to the floating torii gate, we visited pavilions, temples, and beautiful natural sites. We took some spectacular photos of this experience. Be sure to try the oysters and fried momiji manju! Yuka was very attentive and gave us many food recommendations.

An Exceptional Tour and Experience - Masa was absolutely amazing. From the moment we started our tour until the very end. She was kind and friendly, very knowledgeable and she got along with everyone from my 13 year old son who absolutely adored her right through to me and my husband. Her warmth and experience was welcomed and made the experience so much more than a great experience. It was exceptional! If you are in Hiroshima, going on this tour, with Masa, is a must! Thank you xx

Miyajima Tour - Masa, thank you so much for a wonderful tour. I can highly recommend the tour to anyone. Masa is the best guide we have had during our two weeks in Japan. She really brought to life all of the history of Miyajima Island as well as providing an insight into the Shinto and Buddhist religions and temples. Her local knowledge was exceptional, providing real insight into Miyajima and Hiroshima. Her dinner recommendations were also spot on!!

Most memorable experience with a most memorable guide! - My wife and I met Yuka at our inn, where we took pictures just outside with her and the deer. From there we walked the island visiting shrines, temples, restaurants, and an ice cream shop. We had a blast because Yuka is smart , caring, patient, and professional. Her guidance made our short stay most memorable!
