Ken was an absolutely wonderful host who carefully planned an itinerary according to our needs, adjusted to minor hiccups along the way, and took all the heartache out of ticket purchases etc.. We had a great day, learned plenty, and got some beautiful photos of the lovely city of Hiroshima and neighbouring Miyajima. Thank you sincerely, Ken!

We spent half a day with Masa as our personal guide to Miyajima Island. As it was our first time to Hiroshima and Miyajima, we found it incredibly helpful and informative to have Masa explain the history of the places we visited. Miyajima Island was simply beautiful with its temples and Itsukushima Shrine. We also took lots of pictures of the friendly deer there. The Floating Torii Gate was not to be missed. I guess when choosing a guide, the question I ask is could I have done this tour by myself. Yes I could….but I would not have learnt about the heart and soul of the place. Masa’s detailed explanation really made the day one of our “highlights” of our 2 week trip to Japan. Thank you Masa! Highly recommend.
