Our Greart Hiroshima Experience - Shin was excellent in his tour and knowledge across a sphere of information and history across the Hiroshima experience. Very sobering to hear his family story and some still alive today and how the community honour their people directly impacted by the bombing. We travelled with a Canadian couple who were very accommodating and made for a very enjoyable three hour tour. We only had one issue, the ebikes are under sized and took away some of the gloss on an otherwise great tour. The school children by the hundreds were on school excursions and are a credit to the Japanese people for their excellent behaviour, assistance and total respect.....not a mobile phone was sighted.!

One of the best tours - Having Shin as a guide on our bike tour added an enhanced level of meaning as he is the grandson of an A bomb survivor and his mother was exposed to radiation in utero. When he spoke of the damage the bomb did to Hiroshima families, it was from personal experiences. He had a true wish for world peace and expressed it to us. The tour itself was well planned, very moving and completely worthwhile. As the description states, all of the important bomb-related sites are covered, always with great insight from Shin, whose English is perfect. It uses small but powerful e-bikes; I am 5’10” and found it cramped; and if you are a taller woman, with an inseam of more than 30, as is my partner, this also might be true. In any case, we enjoyed the experience very much and recommend it strongly.

A Must-Do in Hiroshima! Make sure Kana is your guide - A Must-Do in Hiroshima! Make sure Kana is your guide—she was absolutely exceptional. This was hands down the best tour of our entire stay in Japan and even tops tours we’ve taken in other countries. Kana made it unforgettable. She spoke flawless English, was incredibly knowledgeable, answered every question we had, and made sure we were safe on the e-bikes, especially on the steeper paths. She also recommended some fantastic lunch spots. The pacing between historical sites was just right. Kana shared the history with compassion and emotion, vividly helping us understand the events leading up to the bombing, the strategy from both sides and the aftermath. Through her insights, we could almost see and feel the before-and-after effects on the city and its people. Kana ended the tour on a hopeful note, leaving us with a deep admiration for Hiroshima’s resilience and the hope that defines its future. Thank you, Kana—you were AMAZING!

Amazing bicycle tour you won’t forget - We really enjoyed our bicycle tour with our guide Shin - definitely the most talkative guide in Hiroshima in a good way! - a lot! He led us to a lot of places of Hiroshima history, explained and laid out the stories and added his family’s history. We thoroughly recommend this tour and would certainly book it again.

Beautiful and moving tour - thank you Shin - A beautiful way to see the history and beauty of this gorgeous city. We were so lucky to have Shin - best tour guide ever. He is a descendant of bomb survivors and his personal touching stories made this not just a historical tour but a very moving one. Thank you Shin - I would give you 10 stars if I could

Shin is awesome - Shin is the most loquacious, personable guide that you could ever wish for. He showed us a deeply personal side to the effect of the bomb on him and his family and the long term effects that it has had on the entire population.

An interesting tour and great way to soak in the history of Hiroshima. - Our guide for today was Kana. She made a quite sobering subject matter lively and interesting. Her directions during our bike ride on the roads and paths were clear. She included some personal stories which made the tour richer. The biking itself was easy and we were provided with electric bikes. We would recommend this tour. Thank you Kana!

Educational, emotional, and enjoyable tour, highly recommend! - Shin is the No.1 talker in all of Hiroshima! Fantastic experience that went way beyond what my party and I expected. Shin delivered a tour that was both educational and emotional. His bubbly personality shone through in our dealings with him in the 3-hour tour. A must do if you find yourself with some free time in Hiroshima! The E-bikes made it very easy to get around town. Thank you, Shin!
