A very moving and emotional journey to Hiroshima Park and Museum - Kumiko was very obliging, she offered 2 ways to visit the Hiroshima Park either by transport or taxi, which we opted for the taxi, she guided us very well through the museum and then through the gardens and memorials. We then requested afternoon tea, where she took us to a rooftop hotel restaurant where we had panoramic views over Hiroshima city which was spectacular. We then visited the Castle which at that time was closed however we walked around the grounds. Kumiko was very kind and caring, she was a fabulous guide, I would highly recommend her.
