“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.”

“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…”

“This was our first visit to Japan from the US and it was truly amazing! We debated whether or not to do the group or private tour. From our perspective it was worth the extra money for a private tour. Don’t have to wait for the group. You can be more flexible, pick and choose what you want to see, and see much more than if you are in a group! We were looking for a guide who could share more about the history and culture in Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. Sam was the best! He met us at the Peace Memorial taxi stand and asked what we wanted out…”
