Title: What Is a Private Peace Memorial Tour in Hiroshima Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests came from Europe. The previous year, some of the guests had visited the peace memorial museum and strongly recommended that they go. The day before, I received a message on a messaging app asking, "Where should we go in the city in the afternoon?" So I let them know the places we would visit today in March. I had listed the cenotaph and the dome among them, but they said that since they had gone there the day before, today they only wanted to hear the explanations. However, when I said, "I will explain in detail, so please listen," and began my explanation, the guests listened very attentively. In particular, one of the guests asked, "Were there no disabilities among children born from marriages of atomic bomb survivors?" and remarked, "Many people from the Korean Peninsula were also exposed to the bombing." Another of the guests was more interested in trying tempura for the first time than in the topic of the bombing. They also said that Japanese culture is fascinating because old and new coexist. Among the dishes, they said that Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki was delicious.

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.
