What Is a Private Miyajima and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
I guided the group visiting from Oceania. Since we visited Miyajima early in the morning, there were still few tourists, and the guests enjoyed the sightseeing in a quiet environment. The guests especially enjoyed photography as a hobby, stopping here and there to take pictures. For lunch, we had okonomiyaki at a homey local restaurant near Shin-Hakushima. They liked the family-run atmosphere very much, filming the process of making okonomiyaki and taking photos with the proprietress. At the Peace Memorial Museum, the guests listened attentively to my explanations. This made my explanations very rewarding, and I was able to provide a fulfilling guiding experience.

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.
