Best Part of Japan: Miyajima with Yuta! - Hiroshima and Miyajima are the highlights of our Japan vacation because of Yuta, our guide, who is amazing! Wish we could travel throughout Japan with him. He is friendly, positive and so knowledgeable, everything you hope a guide will be and more. He brought us to places we would have never seen nor discovered with someone else. We just wish we were staying in the area longer to be able to have Yuta show us more.

Fantastic Tour, A1 guide. Amazing - We had a great tour with Yuta, he's a fantastic guide and great to be around to chat to, he was like an old friend by the end of our day with him. I highly recommend Yuta for this and other tours/guided visits due to his fantastic personality, warm and personable and he didn't seem to run off of a script and was willing to deviate from the itinerary if needed (there was no rushing around either). His English is great and he was willing to explain and discuss life in Japan away from the tour subject. I hope that one day we have the pleasure of meeting up with him again.
Final thoughts. Thoroughly recommend Yuta, he is a decent and friendly person and wonderful guide. You won't regret selecting Yuta.

Must see when in Hiroshima - It was our first time to Japan and also Hiroshima. I would strongly recommend going to Hiroshima if you are going to Japan. We had a wonderful day with our guide Yuta. Who was fantastic and very knowledgeable and passionate about his country and Hiroshima. The trip to the Torii gate, shinto shrine on Miyajima made for a great morning. Then we had a traditional lunch of Okonomiyaki at location chosen by Yuta in Hiroshima. The Afternoon was filled with learning about the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima from ground zero to Peace Memorial Park Museum and the Atomic Dome. It was humbling, informative and hard to grasp the devistaion. Thank you for the fantastic tour and new friendship.

Great tour and best guide (Yuta) - We had this tour with Yuta and really enjoyed it. Yuta has great knowledge to share and he is always willing to make you feel comfortable taking your interests into account as well as preferences (we were a bit peeky with food and he found a great option for us). We had great conversations, he had everything planned to perfection, entrances to every visit point we're already taken care of and he made the best out of every minute of the tour.
Yuta is also a really helpful guy, he took great pictures of us and helped us to book a train for the next part of our trip.
If you ever have the chance to book a tour ask for Yuta, highly recommended!

An excellent Hiroshima family tour with Yuta-San! - We were extremely fortunate to be guided by Yuta during our stay in Hiroshima. Our tour was a full day and was easy to book. Yuta met us at our hotel, the Sheraton. We then went by local train and then ferry to Miyajima. It was fantastic. After eating okanomiyaki we saw the Hiroshima bomb exhibit which was somber but an excellent experience. The best part of our tour was Yuta. He is young, intelligent and engaging. This was great because he interacted so well with our 12 and 13 year old boys. By the end of the tour they were friends and he was teaching them Japanese! Yuta is also very knowledgeable of all the sites we saw and educated on many Japanese customs at the Miyajima shrine. I highly recommend getting a tour with Yuta!

This was an amazing tour. Our guide Yuta was wonderful! - This was an amazing tour! Our guide Yuta was wonderful and so knowledgeable. He communicated with us prior to the tour to see where we wanted to meet. He then picked us up at our hotel in Hiroshima, and spent the day with us. We got to see so many wonderful things that we would have had trouble finding on our own. We only had one day in Hiroshima, so this was a wonderful way to see the city and the nearby island with the famous floating gate. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!
