Hey there! I'm Kaori, your friendly local host here in beautiful Hiroshima. One of my favorite things to do is to stroll through the streets of Miyajima, indulging in delicious treats, and capturing the perfect pictures of this picturesque island. When I'm not exploring Miyajima, you can find me cruising to Sandankyo, enjoying the vibrant autumn leaves or the lush greenery of spring. As a Hiroshima guru, I know this city like the back of my hand. From the hidden gems of Miyajima to the serene beauty of the Hiroshima Botanic Garden, I've got you covered. Need recommendations for authentic eats or charming restaurants? I've got you covered! Whether you're craving adventure or seeking tranquility, let me show you the best of Hiroshima. Let's make unforgettable memories together in this gem of a city!

Our Driver was great to work with. There were a couple of places that we did not want to go so our driver quickly adapted and moved on to the next location.

We really enjoyed our tour of Miyajima! Our guide was Kaori - she did an excellent job of communicating ahead of time, helped us thoroughly explore Miyajima (including less touristy areas), and taught us about the culture and history of Miyajima. She also provided very helpful recommendations for places to visit/eat outside of our tour in Hiroshima. She even tried to call and make a reservation at a restaurant for us before we arrived in Japan. We would recommend anyone visiting Miyajima to sign up for this guided tour.
