Excellent insight into the Shinto and Buddhist philosophies given by Yuka. She made the whole day interesting, informative and fun. The island gave me a different perspective and experience than just urban sightseeing.

Mark 22 May 2026

Our guide Ami was absolutely amazing, could not have asked for a better human being to show us around Miyajima and Hiroshima. Ami was super knowledgeable, arranged amazing experiences for both adults and children, and ensured we had an exceptional day. Ami was engaging throughout and even booked us in for an Okonomiyaki making class later in the evening. This guide (especially if it's Ami) is more than worth the investment. Thanks again Ami!

Mark 21 May 2026

Ami was fantastic from start to finish, guiding us through Miyajima Island and taking us to all the best places whilst sharing her amazing insights. Ami was friendly and engaging throughout and made us all feel comfortable and at ease the whole time. Ami booked some amazing experiences both on the island and back in Hiroshima city that both us adults and the children thoroughly enjoyed. The day has been the highlight of our trip so far! Thankyou Ami for an amazing day (even with all the rain!)

This 3 hour tour focused on the Peace Park and museum. It was interesting but we could have easily done it on our own. Plenty of available taxis waiting if needed. Our guide was young and very knowledgeable
