What Is a Private Hiroshima Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
I guided a group visiting from North America. They had come to Hiroshima directly after Tokyo, so they seemed to be suffering a little from jet lag.
One of the guests was keen on taking photos to share on social media. When I introduced a perfect photo spot, they were very pleased.
We had a lively conversation about the film "Hidden Figures," which tells the story of a mathematician whose precise orbital calculations helped lead a space program to success. I heard that she recently passed away.

Yoshi was an amazing guide. He adapted the tour to suit our family and was very
knowledgeable. We experienced many areas of Hiroshima that we would not have found
ourselves with a guide. Would highly recommend.
