Hiroshima has a dark past that precedes it but other than the infamous A-bomb dome site, there are a few hidden gems that only a local would be able to show you. From Yamato Museum where you can learn about the largest battleship in the world and explore a collection of authentic relics from World War II with the Kure port as your encompassing sea views. If submarines are more up your alley, the JMSDF Kure Museum awaits, four floors designed as a huge submarine make the outside as intriguing as the inside. Try their famed Navy Curry as you bite into history, with its origin inside the battleships of the Meiji Era, more than a century ago.

We love Our visit to Miyajima Island and the Memorial Park. Very interesting. Our tour guide Masayo was very knowledgeable of history of Japan and explainable in details.

Our guide for the day was Maryam. She was easy to work with and we were able to finalize the itinerary over WhatsApp. She took us to the Hiroshima Atomic Dome, Peach Garden and Museum. Later we took a train to Miyajima station and finally a ferry ride to Miyajima.
Maryam spoke good English and shared important facts about each place.

The night before our tour, our guide canceled. Maryam did not look at her college schedule and realized she had classes during our tour. She dipped out last minute. City Unscripted was unable to replace Maryam. We turned to other tour operators that were booked out for a week. A week later I am still waiting for our $277 to be credited. City Unscripted is in London, and is disconnected from Japan in time and local knowledge.

Our host John is incredibly knowledgable and because of him we enjoyed a tremendous day in Hiroshima. We learnt about history, culture and literature. John is highly educated and flexible, this was time well spent!

Disappointed, there doesn’t seem to be a entry level the tour guides need to be at. The tour guid doesn’t think he gets paid enough, possibly why he wanted me to pay for everything, including his food and drink after our tour ended.
I could do a tour the same on my own. We didn’t get to see what we really wanted to either.
