Hiroshima & Miyajima in 1 Day: Private Tour — Guide Riona

What Is a Private Hiroshima and Miyajima Cruise Port Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

■ Meeting Since it was my own first time visiting the cruise terminal, I was a little anxious about the meeting point, but the waiting area, shuttle bus stop, and taxi stand were all very easy to understand, which made it easy to meet the guest. We were able to gather a little earlier than planned, so we could depart with plenty of time to spare.

■ Peace Memorial Park During my explanation of the Atomic Bomb Dome, the guest had tears in their eyes. Because they repeatedly said how truly sorry they felt about what had happened, I told them that having them come here like this is genuinely a source of joy for us and that this is what peace means. Since the guest mentioned they could not stay too long in the Peace Memorial Museum, we left early, took a rest at the rest house, and folded paper cranes during that time. This time, since the guest was traveling alone, it was good that I could adjust the plan even more closely to their preferences.

■ Miyajima As the guest had never tried okonomiyaki, we went to an okonomiyaki restaurant in the shopping street. They told me they were happy to be able to eat local cuisine at such a traditional restaurant, because when traveling alone they never had the courage to go and always ended up at fast food places. After that we visited Itsukushima Shrine and returned to the ferry terminal. I felt I must be careful, because sitting down to eat lunch at a restaurant rather than eating while walking naturally shortens the time available for other sightseeing. I was sorry that we had to rush at the end.

■ Transportation Due to time constraints, we used ferries for transportation this time. In particular, the ferry that goes directly from Miyajima to Hiroshima Port (although it was a little far from the cruise terminal) greatly reduces travel time, so I thought the guest would not feel too tired.

■ Impressions The guest travels around the world by cruise ship and shared many stories about cruising and the places they have visited so far. They told me it was a very enjoyable tour that flew by, which made me extremely happy. This is unrelated to the tour, but there were several times when they were troubled by not being able to use Wi-Fi, so I thought that if the Wi-Fi environment were improved, traveling in Hiroshima would become even easier. Once again, I felt fortunate to meet such a wonderful guest. Thank you very much.
