The tour started off on time my guide Nao was waiting with a sign. We started off taking the train to Miyajima where we explored the island and learned the origin and how to properly pray at a shrine. We stopped for maple leaf cookies that were still warm. We then continued on to Peace Park to learn about the tragic events that occurred in Hiroshima and learned how the city survived afterwards. It was a wonderful tour and a beautiful city this a must do tour.

Best tour I have ever been on.

Our tour guide, Mitsu, made this tour something very special. Her very personal stories of Horoshima and her family were very moving. You could feel the love of her city from her. She was very kind and patient. The tour of Miyajima was gorgeous; however, it was her stories, and the tour of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial that will stay with me forever. It was beautiful and I don't think anyone with an ounce of human empathy can attend this memorial without goosepimples and a tear in their eye. I can't recommend this tour and Mitsu as a guide enough. This experience will stay with me forever. Such a touching and wonderful memory and lesson.
Go and witness history

Amazing place and tour. A must, place to visit in your bucket list. It will provide you with a new meaning to the term "start from scratch".
Miyajima island is a beautiful and busy place. Plenty of places to eat, or drink (Literally, there's a bar that was packed in the afternoon!) There's even a Starbucks!
Amy did a great job as a Tour Guide. Don't miss it.
Hiroshima Peace memorial park and Miyajima Island Tour

Should have given Miyajima Island a pass. It is a tourist trap and the Tori gate was under repair and could not be seen. Food catered to tourists and was bad all around.
Hiroshima Peace memorial is a great memorial and very moving to see the effects of nuclear weapons. Tour guide was not good. Just kept talking about herself which was very annoying. I did not sign up for the tour to hear about her personal issues. She did not say much about the Hiroshima bombing.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Miyajimacho Island tour

The tour of Hiroshima was very moving and the Guide Amy did a good job. She was personally involved as she told us her Mother was pregnant with her at the time of the dropping of the atomic bomb and it was only by chance that her parents were out of town on that day that they survived.
We also enjoyed the ferry ride to the Island and the shops on the Island. All in all a very enjoyable trip.

This tour gets you around to two UNESCO world heritage sites with ample time to explore. 3 hours Miyajima and 3 hours Peace Park. Both sites are exceptional.
An amazing and powerful day.

We did the tour of Miyajima Island and Hiroshima Peace Park with Sunrise Tours a few days ago. Miyajima island was absolutely beautiful and it was very quiet (which we were told was rare) so we were able to take it easy and enjoy ourselves. Hiroshima was powerful and very moving... But such an incredible experience.
However, this was all made exponentially by our wonderful guide - Nobu-san. She gave us so much detail and background about everything we were seeing and she had personal connections to the tragedy back in 1945. She was an amazing guide but also a wonderful person.
I would highly recommend this and if you go - fingers crossed that Nobu-san is your guide!
Absolutely amazing!

This is an amazing tour - guide was amazing. Miyajima Island and the floating Torii gates were a highlight of my trip. Would definitely recommend this day tour!

We went to the Atomic Dome which is the last surviving building after WWII. Then we went to the Peace Memorial. The Peace Memorial is an experience unlike any other. At first it seems very clinical and straight forward with exhibits talking about the people who discovered atomic energy, the people who weaponised it, the people who ordered it to be used, how they selected Hiroshima, and even where they were aiming for. Then it tells the personal stories of people in Hiroshima. The victims, the children, families... it is a unique experience and should not be missed.
Then we went to Miyajima island. It is a beautiful island with a beautiful shrine, the Tori Gate, deer, and lots of sponge cakes :

This was a great 101 tour with the lovely and picturesque island of Miyajima. This is no criticism of the tour but there were so many people on the island and it was almost impossible to really enjoy the sights and scenery without doing most of it on your own. Highly recommend wandering and looking and things and perhaps taking the boat to the Peace Park in town. We wanted to spend so much more time on Miyajima. Anyways, the tour at the Memorial Park was nice and enjoyed the serenity of the area in spite of the incredibly painful history of this location.

We enjoyed this tour very much. It was raining on the day which added to the feel of the afternoon. Fumiko did such a good job
in passing on heaps of information to us. We would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the Hiroshima bombing.
Thank you so much for this day.

Our guide Mariko was wonderful. Even if you have more than a day in Hiroshima, this day trip is totally worth doing. She is very knowledgeable, and her explanations deserve a 10 out of 10!

Dorit_L(2018年1月)
The guide on the trip was excellent, Samin was very knowledgeable and moved us to tears with her personal family accounts.
The one thing I would change about the trip is the amount of time dedicated to the memorial park and museum. It was way too short.
The tour could start earlier than 10:30, say around 9:00 to accommodate that.

A lovely day with such an informative guide. We learnt so much of the history and saw how proud the people of Hiroshima are of the rebuild and the monuments. Mijajima was such a beautiful experience and such a stunning location.

Barbara A(2017年10月)
We took the Shinkansen from/to Kyoto and met tour right outside Hiroshima station. Guide was knowledgeable and spoke English well. Would've preferred to spend more time at Hiroshima than Miyajima but we enjoyed both. If you want to spend entire day at Peace Park, don't take this tour.
