View on Google MapsWe LOVED this day. It brought laughter and tears and beautiful pictures. We had the best tour guide, Yuka. We were on a time constraint and she customized our tour so that we could still get everything in that we wanted. We loved her knowledge and cute personality. We learned so much through her and through our tour of what we saw. We really enjoyed this day.
Amazing to know in person the story of hiroshima and his people. The city and its people is what More. Highly recommended to do it with guidance and more with Massa
Our tour guidance from Yuka was excellent:, she has great understanding about the culture and you can enjoy the experience of Hiroshima since the point of view of a Japanese
Our guide Yuka first accompanied us to Miyajima - to the shrine depicted in each guide. The sight is indeed indescribably beautiful. We received a lot of information on how to behave properly there. Then we went to Hiroshima. We were taken to historical places that we had not yet discovered on our own exploration and learned a lot about the history of the city and the way Hiroshima residents dealt with the memories of the atomic bombing, which moved us a lot.
Yuka was an excellent guide - engaged and very willing to answer many questions. She had good knowledge of the places she took us and her English was very good.
Masa was an excellent guide and was very patient with our group which included two children. However , she ensured we were well informed about the culture and history of the places we visited. She has a very relaxed attitude and answered all our questions quite objectively. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who would like an honest and respectful discussion from someone who has a direct connection to the history of Hiroshima.
Our tour with Masa was incredible. She is so lovely, kind and patient, especially with our 2 kids. It was a privilege to learn about the history of Hiroshima, and hear about her family. Miyajima island is a must see as well and Masa took the time to explain the significance of this beautiful, sacred place. Highlight of our trip! Thank you so much Masa! Xx
Yuka was our tour guide and we had a great time! It was a seven hour tour and the day flew by. We saw so much, but the pace allowed us to take everything in and enjoy Hiroshima. We truly valued the knowledge and insight that Yuka brought to the tour.
What an amazing day we spent with our wonderful guide Masa. Not only did she consult very well with us about what we wanted to do, but she shared her knowledge of her culture and country very openly and very intelligently. We felt very privileged to be taken into her world. The day simply flew by without any effort on our part, and we always felt well cared for (it was very hot). Her knowledge of the temples and rituals/ceremonies was fascinating and with her attention to detail we gleaned so much from our visit. But it was the personal stories around the Peace Park that greatly enhanced our understanding of the horrors the city faced and the incredible resilience of the citizens of Kyoto. We were sad to leave her but so uplifted by experiencing this amazing city of Japan. Thank you Masa.
We had a wonderful tour of Hiroshima & Miyajima spread over two days with Yuka as our guide. It was extremely hot but we had a truly wonderful & memorable time. We have travelled extensively & taken many tours in different parts of the world but we can say without hesitation that Yuka is the best tour guide we have ever met! She was so helpful & knowledgeable & went over and above what could reasonably be expected of a tour guide which when added together made it such a memorable two days spent in her company. She took us to a local pottery store which had wonderful items - truly authentic & not local tourist trinkets. Local Gem Tours - you have a real GEM in Yuka - make sure you look after her! We strongly recommend both Local Jem tours & Yuka & we shall use you again when we return to Hiroshima. I, myself, have been to Hiroshima twice before & used other tour companies, but I learned so much more on this tour with Yuka & she really "made" the trip for us! Thank you also to the back office staff at Local Gem who were extremely helpful & supportive. If you are looking for a tour in Hiroshima, then Local Gem (& Yuka) are where you should book!
