“Miyajima is magical. What a beautiful island with a rich history. Our tour guide was amazing! Communication with Eijirou, our tour guide, was easy from the start. Eijirou met us at our hotel and we walked together to the boat which took us to the island. Eijirou provided us with a detailed history of the area and perfectly paced us through the tour of the main sites. This is a memory my family will always share and we thank Eijirou for his time and attention and knowledge.”

“Shun was our guide for this tour around Miyajima. We can’t thank him enough for the knowledge and kindness he imparted to us. He took us off the beaten track, shared information on the Island, the Shrine, Buddhism and Shinto practices, Japanese culture and so on. He was so personable and we felt we had spent a few hours with a young friend. Highly recommend this tour if you want to get a little bit more out of a visit to Miyajima.”

“Kaku was our guide through the most scenic Miyajima island. He was very patient with our shopping and questions and very knowledgeable about the various stops on our tour. We especially enjoyed a chance to stop and try sake, the local lemon drink, and specialty sweets. I really appreciated that he pointed out places to get stamps for my stamp book! I would highly recommend this tour.”
