Title: What Is a Private Hiroshima Peace Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests had considerable knowledge about the atomic bomb. When I explained that there is no data showing how long radiation remained in Hiroshima City, I was asked about current radiation levels, and I answered that they are no different from those in major cities elsewhere in North America, Europe, or Oceania. I was also asked about the plutonium atomic bomb and why the atomic bomb had been developed. I explained the background of the development, including Einstein, Churchill, and Roosevelt, and the guests were satisfied with the explanation. They told me that they now understood the atomic bomb well.

Hiroshima Tour with Yoshi
Yoshi was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond—meeting us at the station and making everything feel effortless and perfectly organized.
She is incredibly knowledgeable, especially about Hiroshima’s history. What made the experience even more special is that her perspective comes from someone who was born and raised there. Hearing the stories, details, and context directly from her added a level of depth and authenticity that you simply cannot get otherwise.
Beyond her knowledge, Yoshi is just a beautiful human being—kind, warm, and genuinely caring. Spending the day with her felt like a hug to the heart. She made us feel comfortable, cared for, and fully present in such a meaningful place.
She guided us through every site with perfect timing and intention, making sure we experienced everything without ever feeling rushed.
If you are visiting Hiroshima, I cannot recommend Yoshi enough. Seeing the city through her eyes is something truly unforgettable.
