Title: What Is a Private Hiroshima Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guest was a visitor from North America who was in Hiroshima for sightseeing before a business trip. At the memorial museum, the guest completed the visit in a relatively short time. I was a little worried that they might not be very interested, but they looked carefully at the exhibits on the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Lucky Dragon vessel, and the section explaining how nuclear testing had an impact. They were also very absorbed in the exhibit of the paper crane folded by the former U.S. president Barack Obama.
Afterward, we moved to Shukkeien Garden and finished the tour a little after 1:00 p.m. Since the guest planned to work after returning to the hotel, the tour ended about one hour earlier than scheduled.

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.
