Ken was a great guide in Hiroshima for an 8 hour tour of our family of 5 from Chicago with college/high school kids. He met us at the train station and had us move quickly to beat the crowds to the top of the mountain at Miyajima. He was a student in Long Beach California in his early 20s, worked at Disney and then got Disney Tokyo started in the early 80s. His Hiroshima parents were soldiers in WW2 - aged 20 and 14 - in 1945. The combination of those two things made his style very appealing to us. He improvised our day and took us to a garden and took great photos and videos of us in ideal spots. Ken is funny and kind and a free spirit with a fast-moving approach. He knows a lot of tricks about moving quickly and has a lot of knowledge - that you need to ask about - so it feels personal and not like a canned experience. He told us how to eat/ history of Hiroshima's okonomiyaki (pancake you eat with a spatula) and we went to a local, nontouristy place for one on recommendation of our hotel concierge and it was a peak experience of our trip.

Masayo was a wonderful guide! Very organised, helpful and knowledgeable. She tailored the day to our family and was happy to adjust to our personal tastes. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful time with Yuka, who took my insane schedule and still made the tour fun, exciting and fulfilling. I was able to see all the sites I wanted to see and get wonderful guidance as well as cultural information and history at each step. Truly made my trip.

Kaorisan was very proactive in tailoring our ambitious itinerary to make the most of our time in Miyajima. We had a group of three (me 44 M and my aunt (79) and mom (77)) She was very kind and patient, especially with my mother who is not used to walk a ton and struggles with up hills and stairs. We would definitely recommend her as a guide to others.
