What Can You See on a Private Hiroshima and Miyajima Day Tour? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were a group visiting Hiroshima from Oceania, with their main trip centered on skiing in Niseko. They come together to enjoy skiing in Niseko every year, and they were a close-knit group, making it a tour full of laughter. Since snow remained on the roads and there was concern about slipping, we kept a relaxed pace and focused on two locations: Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima. At Peace Memorial Park, the guests listened attentively to my explanations and even kindly responded to elementary school students who came to interview them, making them very pleasant guests. The okonomiyaki for lunch was well received, and at Miyajima they also enjoyed tempura momiji manju and sake. For transportation we used a variety of options including the streetcar, high-speed boat, ferry, and JR, so the guests were able to enjoy the public transportation within Hiroshima.

We were a group of 3 and had a wonderful tour to Miyajima Island with our guide Menori. Menori picked us up from our hotel and helped us with trains and ferries, making travel seamless. She had a bubbly personality, was easy to talk to and very informative, on aspects of the island and Japanese life. I highly recommend this tour and Menori as a guide.

This was such an amazing tour! Minori our guide was sooo knowledgeable and made this trip so memorable. It was VERY crowded bc we happened to pick a holiday week🤦🏻♀️ But it was so worth it and Minori navigated those crowds like a pro! No way we would have learned as much as we did and gotten to see everything in one day if we didn’t have her guiding us! Highly recommend.

Minori was a lovely guide. She met us at our hotel and planned a very informative day in Hiroshima and Miyajima. She gave us insights into the events on August 4th 1945, as well as ensuring we had plenty of time for reading information, asking questions and taking photos. We went to a hidden gem for a delicious lunch before taking us on the fast ferry to Miyajima. We learnt the protocol for visiting a shrine. We enjoying sitting having a beer and sharing stories. We did a circular tour of important places in Hiroshima with a lovely guide.
