Frequently Asked Questions

I want to go and see as much as possible....

I will arrange the tour as you like. Central Hiroshima and Miyajima may be covered in one day. Takehara tour needs a whole day if you start from your Hotel in Hiroshima. So you cannot get everything at the same time. If you want to experience more, you had better extend your stay here in Hiroshima. It is worthwhile. I am sure my plan lives up to its promise of offering something memorable to everyone.

I want to know how much our transportation expenses will cost.

It depends on your plan or the transportation mode, though. Let me give you some idea.

*For HIROSHIMA/MIYAJIMA tour, it will cost about 2000 JPY

Break down = Central Hiroshima -via Hiroshima Sta.- Miyajima Sta. < 220JPY by tram/ 420 JPY by JR for 30 min. ride>,

Miyajima Sta. - Miyajima Is., <180 JPY by Boat>,

And the Admission fee to Miyajima Shrine <300JPY>...... One suggestion…if you have enough time, I really recommend a tram-ride from central Hiroshima to Miyajima Sta.. It takes time (about 50 min.) to get there. But it will cost you only 270 JPY. Additionally, from a window of the streetcar, you may enjoy the charming townscape of Hiroshima/nearby local towns and the serene Seto inland sea.

Pleasure boat also operates directly from central Hiroshima to Miyajima Island. (2200JPY. Round trip: 4000JPY)

Excellent guide and wonderful tour

Mayumi is extremely experienced and knowledgeable She is passionate and wonderful to listened to when she tells about the culture, traditions and history of Japan and Hiroshima Visiting with her the Peace Memorial Museum and Park and the Atomic bomb Dome is a really touching experience We are thankful for the day spent with her

Mayumi I.

Dear Lucia, Thanks so much, too, for a delightful tour with your charming family. It looks very hot and humid again today, though. I hope you will enjoy your visit to Naoshima. The weather in Tokyo next week is not looking so good, but a blessed rain could be better than extreme heat. Thank you very much. Best, Mayumi

Very Insightful Day

Mayumi did a great job of tailoring a tour to meet the needs of my family and we had a wonderful day. Her personal knowledge of Hiroshima made the trip that much better.

Mayumi I.

Dear Brian, Thank you very much for the great review. The Paris Olympics have started. Can't believe it's been already three years since the Tokyo Olympics were carried out without spectators due to COVID...  Now Women's Soccer appears to be very exciting as well. I am sure your daughter is also enjoying it. Please root for the Japan women's soccer team, too, Lol. Best, Mayumi

Rabbit Island

Hiroshima
8 hours 30 min

Rabbit Island is home to hundreds of friendly bunnies who approach tourists for food. Once this island was secluded as a secret base of the Imperial Japanese Army to produce lethal gas during WW II. And because of the poison gas development, it is thought that the test subjects included rabbits. After the war, the island restored peace and got well overrun by bunnies to become a Heaven of rabbits. Please enjoy being mobbed by adorable creatures and the beautiful nature there.
