Arki was great, allocating time for each itinerary location to ensure we did not feel rushed at the end of the day. The day went so quick but finished the day with a better understanding of the lingering affects of war on families

The Hiroshima museum was very interesting and full of information. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Miyajima Island was beautiful and was more than I expected.

The tour guide made the experience fabulous! Without him, the experience would have been mediocre. He took us to all of the places we were interested in. He knew exactly where to go.

We learned so much. Can’t believe some survivors made it to their 80’s! The Museum was a moving yet traumatic experience. Everyone should do this trip. It was a highlight for us.

This tour was not as advertised, the cruise is actually a ferry ride, the guide needed to have better English, unfortunately it was extremely boring, and I wish we were told that the Hiroshima Museum is self guided, you cannot really talk in there. The company charged a lot of money for a tour that wasn’t worth it at all. There needs to be more details provided because we felt that this tour was way too expensive for what it was. The day was drawn out, and we had to rearrange the schedule because the guide didn’t, so that we would make the ferry back to Miyajima in time before it closed for the day. There was no reason to have this tour be so long and so expensive. Participants should know exactly what they are getting, and this was not the case. We were extremely disappointed in this tour. Not worth it.

I would definately recommend this tour. Akie was an excellent tour guide with great local knowledge & information about the historical sites. The highlight was the atomic bomb memorial park & museum which were very moving. Miyajima was also very interesting. Thank you Akie!

Bottom Line: Get to Miyajima!
We book a private tour for flexibility with kids (5, 8, 8, 16). That’s exactly what we needed on this trip.
Our Princess ship didn’t dock at the common Sea Port, but at a large ship international terminal west of the port.
Our guide, Joe (Masahiko), was outstanding in communicating via WhatsApp before arrival. We figured out where we were and adjusted the plan to meet as close as possible, which was at Itsukaichi Station. It was just a 5 min taxi from the ship.
Joe found us, got us our train tickets for the short ride, then got our ferry tickets to Miyajima.
Wow! You have to get to Miyajima. It has everything: the gate in the water, the shrine, pagoda, beach, shopping, food, deer, and cherry blossoms (early April).
Joe taught us about the history, culture, and customs as we walked. We bowed before the gate, didn’t walk down the middle as that’s where the deities walk, and washed our mouth with water at the shrine. He booked us a lunch reservation and sat with us to ensure my niece with Celiac got gluten free food. The chef/owner was so kind and grateful and went out of his way to speak English to us. We did all we could with trying to reply in Japanese to show our appreciation.
We quickly realized we didn’t want to leave and Joe was so accommodating. We decided not to go to the Peace Park and just spent the day at Miyajima. Joe showed us the kids shop and a place for engraved chopsticks. We quickly ran out of time as we had to get back on the ship and will need to return.
Joe then helped us back on the ferry, got us train tickets and rode with us back, then talked to the taxi drivers to ensure we made it back.
Joe, thank you for a great day in Miyajima!

My favorite tour of my 2 week trip! Tom was wonderful! He was so kind and knowledgeable. It’s a moving day for sure but the experience made me feel hopeful.

Easy way to get to Miyajima Island but somehow the option has dropped off google maps. We went one way as we wanted to return after the last boat so came home the public ferry and JR train route. Thought price was reasonble considering the time saving and convenience. Also great to get views from the river of the dome and commentary on the way to the island.

Our guide Chikako was so excellent. Professional, full of information, flexible, and considerate. A total joy to spend the day with her. One of our party has some mobility issues and she invisibly and consistently made it possible for her to participate - even calling to book a taxi at Miyajima when the walk became too long. The day included so many beautiful sights by boat to Miyajima and then return to Hiroshima, and then the absolutely important and soul-shaking walk around the Peace Park. We never would have learned so much, nor so enjoyed our day — highly highly recommend H.I.S., and especially recommend Chikako.
