Yuka was an excellent guide! She brought us around the city and even changed the itinerary last minute to better suit our afternoon plans and interests. She brought us to a small museum that we would have never found otherwise and which ended up being a real highlight for us as it helped make the tragedy of the atomic bomb more real. Can’t recommend this tour more highly—it’s really a must! And Yuka is a star!
It was amazing. Masa was a great guide and it was more like going with a friend instead of a Tourguide. it was a great time and I can highly recommend it 🥰🥰
This was an excellent Tour!, The guide, Ms Masayo Kobayashi, is an excellent and very knowledgable tour guide, good communicater in English and great eye for detail. When interested in booking this tour would highly recommend her as a tour guide.
Our guide was very courteous and helpful throughout the tour. A wonderful experience.
Our guide, Aya was exceptional. Her knowledge of the history of Hiroshima were more than we expected. Her English conversation skills are excellent making it a very enjoyable tour. She personally recommended us some local restaurants to try Okonomyaki. We very much appreciated her punctuality and friendly nature. Thanks for showing us your beautiful city Aya.

Masa was amazing!!! We had a private guide in Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima so I can compare and tell you that Masa in Hiroshima was by far the best. English in a really good level she was flexible in sharing overall knoweldge about the city, A-bomb, amazing stories since she is a second generation survivors and even details on the Japanese alphabet. She manage to squize in everything (Museum,park,fire,childrens memorial,castle,gardens). For anyone reading this review I'm begging you to not miss the gardens. Masa made a daytrip more than a fun activity into an awesome memory!
Masa was an excellent tour guide. We learnt so much from her and she had so many stories to share with us. We are grateful for all the tips she gave us for exploring Hiroshima, especially food recommendations! Thank you for having us.
We had a great tour with Masa-san in Hiroshima. She shared a clear and thoughtful explanation of the city’s history and the atomic bombing. She also told us about her own family’s experience as second-generation survivors, which made the visit especially meaningful. She also provided us with very interesting side facts about japanese culture and History. Masa-san was friendly and easy to talk to. We can warmly recommend her as a guide 1000%! The story about Hiroshima and the Atom Bomb ist a lecture for us all.
Very good guide with excellent local knowledge. Could not be better
Masa was an exceptional host who crafted an unforgettable experience for my son and me. Every step of our journey—quite literally, as we got plenty of walking in!—was filled with breathtaking sights, rich history, and heartfelt personal stories that we will carry with us forever. She tailored every moment to our pace, our curiosities, and our needs, making it feel truly personal and deeply meaningful.
