What Is a Private Miyajima Tour from Hiroshima Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
Today's guests were a group visiting from Europe. The weather was pleasantly clear and sunny. Although reaching Miyajima by public transport would take a little over two hours each way, at the guests' request we used a direct high-speed boat from the hotel. Thanks to this, the guests were able to fully enjoy Miyajima, including the Great Torii Gate, a stroll along the corridors of Itsukushima Shrine, Daisho-in Temple, and shopping in the shopping street. They were especially delighted with Daisho-in Temple.

Hello, my name is Sei, a tour guide of Hiroshima, aged 77, quite an old man. But don’t worry, I can compete with young men in walking.
Since the beginning of this year, I have given tours to 588 tourists from overseas, I enjoy giving the tour at the two world cultural heritage sites in Hiroshima, the Miyajima Island with the magnificent shrine built over the sea, and the Atomic Bomb Dome in the Peace Memorial Park.
Giving the tour at the Peace Park is more meaningful to me than other sites. The Peace Park is a place of thought-provoking. There, you will further strengthen your awareness of peace.
Some day in the near future, I will be accompanying you in Hiroshima as your tour guide.
Till then, by now.

We had a wonderful time. Our tour guide Sei was prompt, knowledgeable and made 8 hours very pleasant and memorable. He took us thru alternate pass ways to avoid the crowds, great photo spots and minimize going up so many steps! He was very patient with our group and so proud to teach us the history of it all. Thank you

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sei visiting Hiroshima. He planned a perfect itinerary that fit our needs exactly, including juggling some sensitivity to heat as well as food choices. He met us at the train station exactly on time and took us to Miyajima first to coincide with high tide for best views. He was informative, friendly, and answered all of our questions – including from our very curious teenage daughter who had lots of questions. Afterwards, we visited the Peace Memorial where Sei arranged for a special private viewing of a very powerful documentary. We were all extremely moved.
I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend a tour with Sei. He’s everything you want a tour guide to be. Thank you so much, Sei, for a fantastic and informative day!

Nous avons grandement apprécié notre matinée avec Sei, notre guide. La communication pour préparer le rendez-vous était très fluide, la visite très bien préparée et fluide, et bien équilibrée. Notre guide a pris le temps, nous avons même dépassé le temps consacré, il était très professionnel et a tout fait pour nous être agréable. Une expérience à recommander !
