Yuka was wonderful. We appreciated that she stayed back with our young daughter during the most intense part of the Peace Museum in Hiroshima. Yuka taught her to make an origami crane and asked her questions about school in the States. She was very thoughtful and so knowledgeable about the history of the city.

We had a tour with miss Aya and we are very grateful for miss Aya. She made our day and had lots of good information about Hiroshima and Miyajima. We had an amazing time!! Miss Aya, thank you so much and we hope to see you again in the future when we are coming back for Japan.

I had such a great tour. Went to beautiful Shukkeien Garden. Ate a lovely picnic and then enjoyed Hiroshima. Even tried delicious Okonomiyako. Truly one of the best days of my trip. Ken was a great guide. Couldn't recommend more.
