Incredible Hiroshima tour with Yuji
lwalk7, October 2026
This tour was amazing! My partner and I were the only ones on the tour but Yuji was incredible and we had so much fun (Hiroshima is now one of our favorite places). The places he took us to were so different from each other with their own vibes and atmospheres (all very welcoming and fun). Yuji was wonderful at engaging and taking care of us throughout the tour. He was very informative and open to answering any questions we had. We would 1000% recommend this tour and hopefully you are also lucky enough (like us) to have Yuji as your guide!
Response from the operator · Magical T Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fun and memorable experience with Yuji in Hiroshima. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Japan!

Hika is a wonderful guide
U4510SVrobertt, October 2026
Hika was a great tour guide. He was personable and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed all of our conversations together. He gave me a lot of insight into Japanese culture and food.
The places he chose to take me were all very good, and I had a great time. If I find myself back in Hiroshima again (I certainty hope to), then I wouldn't hesitate to take another tour with him
Response from the operator · Magical T Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Hiroshima with Hika and learning more about Japanese culture and food. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him.
