I had messaged Kazumi prior to travelling to Japan to see if she could arrange a tour for us as we were set to the day we would be in Hiroshima and arrival time due to trains. She sorted out to meet us at the station and planned an itinerary which gave us time to see the main sites as well as spent time learning about the history of both Hiroshima and Miyajima. She guided us around the transport system, took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch and told us so much not only about the area, but herself, family and life in Japan. We got on really well with her, she is warm, friendly and very easy to talk to. Thank you so much Kazumi for spending time with us today and making our day in Hiroshima one we will always remember. Best wishes to you and your family Neil, Kirsty & Sam
My family truly had an amazing day in Hiroshima and nearby Miyajima Island with Kazumi. We now have such an education and appreciation for the horrific story of the bombing. Hiroshima have done so well recovering and helping others learn from their resurgent story. Kazumi’s background knowledge and thoughtful itinerary made these learning personal and unique. Despite the very hot weather, and after a tasty local lunch, we managed to visit Miyajima which is such a spiritual and beautiful place. Thank you Kazumi for spending the time with my wife, boys and I. It will be a day we will cherish and remember. Daniel.
Thank you for your lovely review. I am so glad that you enjoyed the day in HiroShima. Thank you for letting me leave you on the way back to Hiroshima station. My daughter is fine now. Please send my best regards to your wife and sons. You are all nice and I really hope you to have a great time in the rest of your stay in Japan. Thank you Kazumi
This was by far the best guide we had on our trip. Kazumi was kind, thoughtful, patient, extremely knowledgeable and great with kids! Highly recommend!!!!
Thank you for your kind review! It was beyond my pleasure. You are all nice to me including your teenage boys. I hope you had a great time and made a lot of wonderful memories in Japan. Thank you again and please send my best regards to your family Kazumi
Kazumi was an outstanding guide. We learned about Hiroshima's Pain, Suffering and Natural Beauty/Order. Moving from here to the sea and Island of Miyajima was cathartic as was needed. The Torii gate by the sea and Daishin temple provided a balance of spiritual and natural solace. Along the way we talked about history, Japanese culture, families, and children. Kazumi shared her great knowledge with us. Her love and pride for Hiroshima and it's history resonated through the entire tour. We would highly recommend hiring her for a day tour.
Thank you for the great review! I am glad you enjoyed the day in Hiroshima. I could also learned a lot from you. Please send your husband and son my best regards. Thank you Kazumi
