Title: What Is a Private One-Day Hiroshima and Miyajima Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests had informed me in advance that they would arrive at their Hotel that day, so I arrived early (9:50) and was able to meet them right on time. We went straight into the Peace Memorial Museum and toured it. Afterward, we visited the Summit Memorial Hall, the Cenotaph, the Rest House (former fuel storage building), the Atomic Bomb Dome, the Peace Bell, the Children's Peace Monument, the Atomic Bomb Memorial Mound, the Korean Cenotaph, and other sites, then had lunch. We crossed over to Miyajima and were able to see most of the major sightseeing spots. It was truly wonderful that, because it was low tide, we could walk right up close to the Great Torii Gate. The guests were very happy to have finally been able to come to Japan from Oceania, having been unable to travel during the COVID period. They had come through Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima, and were heading to Hakuba the next day to ski, so I felt I truly wanted them to fully enjoy Japan. I also had a very interesting conversation and learned a lot, including about politics, education, and the ban on social media use by young people in Oceania.

I was an English teacher of a high school in Hiroshima.
I retired early from my job in March in 2024.
I might be of use to you if you’d like to get to know the present educational situation in Hiroshima.
I had many opportunities to introduce Japanese culture when I taught Japanese in high school in America for two years.
I can take you to the place where you can listen to music because I used to be a member of a music band.
I like Japanese chess, fishing, skiing.
I’m willing to do some activities with you.
I would be most happy to help you know culture in Hiroshima.
