Additional Information

Join me for an unforgettable exploration of Hiroshima’s rich past, beginning with a guided tour of Miyajima Island, known as the ‘shrine island,’ and listed among Japan’s three most picturesque locations as well as being a World Heritage Site.

Subsequently, we will revisit Central Hiroshima’s contemporary history through a guided tour of Peace Memorial Park and its various landmarks and museums, including the Atomic Bomb Dome. However, should you wish, I am open to modifying the tour to encompass other sites of interest in my city.

**Tour sequence may be altered on the day of the tour to align with tides for optimal guest exploration.

As a highly skilled guide fluent in the local language, I will be sharing anecdotes, tales, and comprehensive yet digestible facts and data.

With my extensive experience leading tours across Japan, I am also more than willing to assist with your visit and provide you guidance for planning your travel to other parts of Japan, including different regions, cities, and towns.

Location
Akushu Cafe
the ground floor of Orizuru Tower, across the street from the Atomic Bomb Dome

Outstanding tour in Hiroshima. - Inspire of terrible weather Hugh provided our group of eight cruise passengers with a great tour of Miyajima, the scenic island of sacred sites in Hiroshima Bay, and the atomic bomb related sights in central Hiroshima. Hugh also took us for a great lunch at tiny restaurant in Hiroshima. Hugh was very personable, and professional and extremely knowledgable about Hiroshima and the sights we saw. Our group also appreciated that Hugh's first language is English. As the organizer of our tour, I was very pleased to hear others from our tour group telling people we had a great guide in Hiroshima later on our cruise.
