Great trip
The experience was amazing with a stark contrast between the solemn realities of the Peace Memorial and the gorgeous landscapes of Miyajima. Rino was great at giving the tour a personal touch and made the day run very smoothly. The food option was a must to include on the day.

1 Day guided tour in Hiroshima
First trip to Hiroshima and the booked this tour. Meeting point is clear and tour was well-organised despite the change in order. Rino, the tour guide, was great! Very outgoing and active in explaining each site that we go to, even giving wonderful food recommendations in Miyajima. Would definitely recommend this tour if you are in Hiroshima!

A really special way to see Hiroshima/Miyajima
Thank you Chi-Chan for showing us around your hometown, that made it even more memorable and meaningful talking to a local. We were so lucky, it was raining in the morning for the serious museum, but by the afternoon it was soooo sunny! Perfect sombre morning and a bright stunning afternoon on Miyajima.
