FAQ
-
Yes. Families with children are very welcome. I adjust the pace and explanations to match your group's interests and ages, making the experience engaging for both adults and younger travelers.
-
Usually, yes.
For most private tours, I can meet you at your hotel in central Hiroshima. Depending on your itinerary and location, I may recommend a different meeting point to make the most of your time.
For private vehicle tours, hotel pick-up and drop-off are normally included. I'll always confirm the best meeting location with you before the tour.
My goal is to make the start of your day as smooth and stress-free as possible.
-
That depends on your interests.
I usually begin with a walk through Peace Memorial Park, where we can explore Hiroshima's history through conversation before entering the museum. Many guests find that this approach gives deeper meaning to what they later see inside.
Some guests prefer to visit the museum independently after the tour, while others would like me to accompany them. Since every tour is private, we can choose the option that best suits your interests and schedule.
-
Absolutely. Every private tour can be tailored to your interests, schedule, walking pace, and meeting location. Just let me know what you'd like to experience, and I'll create the best itinerary for you.
-
The tour runs in light or moderate rain. Hiroshima has a quiet beauty on rainy days, and I'll adjust the pace and route to keep you comfortable. If severe weather makes the tour unsafe or significantly affects transportation, I'll contact you in advance to discuss rescheduling or other options.
