    Yuka was great! It was fun to get to adventure around and just enjoy the island.

    When visiting Japan, get yourself an ‘IC card’ from main stations. It’s a tap and go change card for all public transport systems. Nozomi San was a polite and courteous guide with excellent English that adapted to our pace (34 degrees and high humidity) Explained the history of the city with a perspective of locals. The bomb museum is amazing but be warned it can get over crowded at peak times with cruise ship groups. If you’re claustrophobic bear this in mind as the route through the exhibition gets congested. We visited the island of Itsukushima using the JR train which station stops adjacent to the ferry pier. 10 min crossing to see the floating Tor gate. The tide was out so people could walk out to it! Be proactive and ask in advance what you want to see. Nozi was very helpful before we met (WhatsApp) so he had our itinerary sorted. Billericay Dickie.

    We had a very good day with our guide Kaori. The top of Miyajima, Mt . Misen was a specular view. The other shrines did not disappoint. The deer through out the town were adorable. Good day for sure.
