What Is a Private Hiroshima Peace Memorial Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests said they were glad to have learned so many things today. They said, "I did not know that the British Prime Minister Churchill was involved in the development of the atomic bomb, nor that the dropping of the bomb was a kind of test. In Europe, we were taught something completely different." In response, I said, "Japan also invaded Southeast Asia to obtain oil and iron. The important thing is to make sure that wars do not happen anywhere in the world," and then had them enter the main building of the memorial museum. When they came out, they told me, "The explanation was very easy to understand," which made me happy.
As for transportation, the guests had a JR Pass, so we used JR.

Hiroshima Tour with Yoshi
Yoshi was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond—meeting us at the station and making everything feel effortless and perfectly organized.
She is incredibly knowledgeable, especially about Hiroshima’s history. What made the experience even more special is that her perspective comes from someone who was born and raised there. Hearing the stories, details, and context directly from her added a level of depth and authenticity that you simply cannot get otherwise.
Beyond her knowledge, Yoshi is just a beautiful human being—kind, warm, and genuinely caring. Spending the day with her felt like a hug to the heart. She made us feel comfortable, cared for, and fully present in such a meaningful place.
She guided us through every site with perfect timing and intention, making sure we experienced everything without ever feeling rushed.
If you are visiting Hiroshima, I cannot recommend Yoshi enough. Seeing the city through her eyes is something truly unforgettable.
