A one-day Hiroshima and Miyajima guided tour with Peace Memorial Park, ferry to Itsukushima Shrine, and Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki lunch.
“Takane was a nice guide and spoke English well. Although he said that it was his first time guiding in English, he managed to do a good job. Please continue working hard with guiding! As some previous reviews have stated, the ~1 hour freetimes at the Miyajima island and especially at Peace Memorial Museum are quite short as there is way more to see if one wants to immerse themselves to these places. However, this trip is a good starter course for these places and gives a glimpse to what maybe to do more next time one comes Hiroshima.”

A full day bus tour from Hiroshima to Miyajima and Peace Memorial Park, with an English guide, UNESCO sights, ferry ride, and Atomic Bomb Dome.
“The tour was supposed to be a full day tour, but when we got to Mayajima island we were all left there for two & a half hours to do our own thing before we had to meet up again for the ferry ride back to Hiroshima. This was really disappointing because unless you wanted to hike up the mountain there is nothing much to do there besides visit a shrine, look at souvenir shops or buy food from a take away shop, which you could do in less than an hour. The bomb dome & the museum at the Hiroshima Peace Park were very memorable experiences, but once again…”

“It was very different from an other archery class I’ve taken. I’m very glad I attended as I learned a lot. It was very intense with numerous rules. The note they send shortly before the class begins should be sent as soon as you sign up. I was already nearby when I got the “stinky sock” memo.”

“Great and very informative tour. Our guide was very knowledgable and taught us all about the history of the city and its culture and guided us round many of the important and poignant sights. It was a really valuable experience to be able to learn about and understand the tragic events of the city's past.”
