What Is a Private Hiroshima and Miyajima Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
I guided a group of guests from Oceania. They came to Japan to enjoy skiing and snowboarding in Hokkaido after visiting Hiroshima. They were very friendly and asked a variety of questions, ranging from personal topics to the history of Hiroshima.
They especially enjoyed shopping on Miyajima. When I asked whether they would prefer to visit Daishoin Temple or enjoy shopping on Miyajima, they chose shopping and spent about an hour enjoying it.
At the museum, I explained the exhibits using photographs before we entered the main building. The guests listened very attentively.

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.
