What Is a Private Hiroshima and Miyajima Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
Since I was able to meet the guests a little earlier than planned, we started the tour early. The guests had a very strong interest in Japan, particularly regarding the atomic bombing. On Miyajima, the group enjoyed the usual course of Itsukushima Shrine, Daishoin Temple, and lunch very much. They especially liked the deep-fried momiji manju, finding it delicious. They listened attentively to the explanations at each of the monuments in the Peace Memorial Park. The Peace Memorial Museum was crowded as usual, and it seemed they were not able to view the exhibits at a leisurely pace.

I mainly provide guided tours around Hiroshima city， especially in the area surrounding the Peace Memorial
Park. I often go to Miyajima and explore each touristic spot，so I have a great deal of knowledge about the
island itself and religious background of the island. I am from a buddhism school, so I can share some insightful knowledge about Buddhism ethics as well.
Visiting not only Miyajima but some other
islands around Hiroshima city， I can recommend some activities of those islands. For instance, fishing, hiking, etc.
Lastly， I am a big food fan. I can also introduce delicious local foods that are unique to Hiroshima.
Hiroshima is famous for okonomiyaki ( It is kind of like layered savory pancake).
I know some restaurants that offer fantastic okonomiyaki.
I hope you have a great time here in Hiroshima， I am more than happy to help you explore this beautiful city.
