What Is a Private Day Trip from Kyoto to Hiroshima Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were a wonderful group visiting from North America, on a day trip from Kyoto. At the Peace Memorial Park, they listened very attentively, and there were moments when their eyes welled up with emotion. They were deeply moved by the sight of a student group offering a thousand paper cranes at the Children's Peace Monument. To help prevent heatstroke as well, we traveled by the World Heritage sea route, which required no transfers. The okonomiyaki lunch was very well received. They happily purchased souvenirs such as a sword and T-shirts for their family. It was a truly lovely group to guide.
