I went to Miyajima on a Monday. I wish we had more time but nonetheless, Yuka was able to show me a lot of places and I learned a lot from her. It was definitely better having her with me. It made the trip more memorable by having Yuka around. Thanks again! :)

We had an amazing tour with Ken. He was very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited and spoke very good English. I would highly recommend this tour.

We spent half a day with Masa as our personal guide to Miyajima Island. As it was our first time to Hiroshima and Miyajima, we found it incredibly helpful and informative to have Masa explain the history of the places we visited. Miyajima Island was simply beautiful with its temples and Itsukushima Shrine. We also took lots of pictures of the friendly deer there. The Floating Torii Gate was not to be missed. I guess when choosing a guide, the question I ask is could I have done this tour by myself. Yes I could….but I would not have learnt about the heart and soul of the place. Masa’s detailed explanation really made the day one of our “highlights” of our 2 week trip to Japan. Thank you Masa! Highly recommend.

When visiting Japan, get yourself an ‘IC card’ from main stations. It’s a tap and go change card for all public transport systems. Nozomi San was a polite and courteous guide with excellent English that adapted to our pace (34 degrees and high humidity) Explained the history of the city with a perspective of locals. The bomb museum is amazing but be warned it can get over crowded at peak times with cruise ship groups. If you’re claustrophobic bear this in mind as the route through the exhibition gets congested. We visited the island of Itsukushima using the JR train which station stops adjacent to the ferry pier. 10 min crossing to see the floating Tor gate. The tide was out so people could walk out to it! Be proactive and ask in advance what you want to see. Nozi was very helpful before we met (WhatsApp) so he had our itinerary sorted. Billericay Dickie.

Tom was a fantastic guide. We did a two hour tour and the tour was exactly what we wanted to see. It was a great day.
