Powerful and Informative - Yuko was an excellent guide. She showed us the grounds of a lovely garden, as well as the Hiroshima Castle, Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Park and Peace Memorial Museum. In addition to being a very informed guide, Yuko also showed us how to make paper cranes and offer them to the monument. The additional context made this very impactful morning even more memorable.

An immersive and enlightening experience! - Hiroshima is a vibrant, and as history tells us, resilient city. We had a perfect blue sky day to learn from our kind, gracious and passionate guide, Yuko. Her knowledge of all things Hiroshima made this such a great tour. In sharing her own personal stories of growing up in the city it allowed us to feel more connected to it. We learned about how history shaped the city we see today, including its fabulous food and kind people. We were very glad to have chosen this tour as part of our trip, and can recommend this to anyone who really wants to learn about this city, and is prepared to walk around and immerse oneself in it.

Highly recommended tour and guide - Our lovely guide Yuko san gave our group of 4 seniors couples from Australia a cold but wonderful tour through Hiroshima. Yuko is a former English teacher so her English is excellent. Yuko is also energetic and patient, bringing the terrible bomb experience to life and helping us learn more about Japanese culture and how to get around on public transport.
