Title: What Is a Private Hiroshima Peace Memorial Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

I guided a group visiting from Europe on a private tour of Hiroshima. The guests had arrived in Hiroshima the previous evening, and today's tour started at 9:00 in the morning. At the Rest House, they viewed the exhibits related to Eizo Nomura with great interest and listened attentively to the explanations. At the Stone of Peace, I introduced a stone cut from Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, which delighted the guests greatly. At the museum, they spent more than two hours viewing the exhibits, twice as long as most guests typically spend. It was clear that they had been very much looking forward to their visit to Hiroshima.
