Hiroshima 4 hour tour
Tripadvisor review: Hiroshima City 4hr Private Walking Tour with Licensed Guide
We had a great day touring Hiroshima city today with our guide, Tsukumoto-san. He was very helpful and informative throughout, with good and clear English speaking.
We started out by touring the Peace Memorial Park - Hiroshima
平和記念公園.
We followed with Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum
広島平和記念資料館
A very emotional and moving experience overall. The landmarks and museum convey vividly the horror of war and the bombing, and tells the story of the real people who were tragically lost, injured and left traumatized.

We had lunch in a nearby restaurant Okonomiyaki Mitchan Sohonten Orizuru tower; お好み焼みっちゃん総本店 おりづるタワー店
We had delicious Okonomiyaki a local specialty that a highly recommend trying.
We spent the final hour touring Hiroshima castle 🏯, interesting rooms, objects, weapons and other artifacts as well a view of the city from the reconstructed main tower.

An excellent tour of Miyajima by a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Tsukumoto-san
tirelessly took us around the island to visit temples and shrines and explained the culture
and the history of this wonderful spot. Truly a must for any visit to Japan.

Miyajima- so much more than you think
Tripadvisor review: Miyajima Half-day Private Tour with Government Licensed Guide
Tsukumoto made this tour worth it. His communication prior to the tour was timely and excellent. He had a suggested itinerary which we were able to modify to suit our thoughts. He notified us clearly where to find him and that he was at the meeting point. From the start he knew all of the key areas and best viewing points. His historical knowledge was excellent and he explained things for us to understand and appreciate the culture and importance of the area. There is soooo... much more to Miyajima that the majority of visitors miss but not with this tour. Tsukumoto took us to a quiet coffee shop away from the crowds. We visited the dark room under a temple where golden images are displayed and you need to feel your way using the wall. Be warned that Miyajima has a huge amount of steps once you leave the main ground level area so wear comfortable shoes and be able to do this climbing. It was well paced with us not feeling rushed. Tsukumoto took us to a chopstick shop as I mentioned that I wanted a special pair of chopsticks and he knew exactly where to go. As well he assisted with the explanation to the staff. He also knew where to find an area with cherry blossoms blooming and he took photos for us everywhere. Don't miss out on what Miyajima has to offer- do this tour.
