What Is a Private Miyajima and Hiroshima Peace Park Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were visiting Japan for the first time and said they wanted to experience various forms of transportation, so we used the train, the JR train, and the ferry. First, the guests were deeply impressed by the scenery of Miyajima and the shinden-zukuri architecture of Itsukushima Shrine, which dates back to the 12th century. They also seemed to enjoy the Miyajima Great Buddha at Daiganji Temple. At the Peace Memorial Park, the guests showed great interest in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, the reality of the damage, and the city's reconstruction, and they said that all world leaders should visit Hiroshima, which made me very happy. For the meal, I guided the group to a sushi set at a local restaurant and recommended the anago (conger eel) rice dish. The guests were very pleased, saying it was the most delicious meal they had had since coming to Japan.

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.
