Make the most of your day in Hiroshima

Published on May, 2025

Our family immensely enjoyed our walking tour with “Pancho” (Tetsuo Hamano). A son of A-bomb survivors, he injected personal insight into our tour of the Peace Garden and local monuments (and taught us to make origami cranes), and helpfully answered all our questions – setting us up well for our moving visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. Highly recommended.

Incredible, meaningful, and beautifully guided tour of Hiroshima

Published on Apr, 2025

We had an unforgettable half-day walking tour with Pancho, a knowledgeable, compassionate, and deeply thoughtful local guide. From the start, Pancho brought Hiroshima’s history to life with compassion and insight. He shared not only historical facts but also his own family’s experience during and after the bombing, which added a deeply personal and emotional layer to the tour. We visited several major landmarks including the Peace Memorial Park and Atomic Bomb Dome. Pancho also took us to other sites that survived the blast including a school and bank. He guided us through making an origami crane, explaining its symbolism of peace and healing and which got an opportunity to donate at the Children’s Peace Monument. It was a powerful and moving moment. Pancho also recommended excellent local food options, including a delicious vegan and pork-free version of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki—perfect for our dietary needs. As we parted ways, he kindly gave us tips for exploring Miyajima Island the next day. Beyond the history, we were struck by Hiroshima’s natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and resilience. This tour gave us a much deeper understanding of the city and its people. Highly recommend!

Tour Hiroshima with a guide who loves his City and enjoys meeting and introducing new people to the region

Published on Feb, 2025

Pancho is engaging, knowledgeable and his love for his home city, Hiroshima, shines through. He is patient while also ensuring we cover the planned itinerary and more. Pancho helped us navigate the logistics of the rail system, taxis, and what to do in Kyoto as well as suggesting local restaurants , and even translated for us during our hotel check in process. We also signed up for the Miyajima island tour and UNESCO Itsukushima Shrine with Pancho because of his deep knowledge and appreciation for the region !

An insightful tour filled with facts and personal stories of the Hiroshima bombings

Published on Feb, 2025

Pancho gave me a great overview of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and brought me to a number of former bomb sites and landmarks away from the tourist circuit which revealed personal stories (including his family's) of the lives lost and forever changed by the tragic event. We also visited the Peace Memorial Park, where I learnt more about the events that ravaged ground zero. I'm glad I took this tour before I visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum at Pancho's recommendation.

Book it!

It’s amazing to explore Hiroshima with someone willing to share their personal family experience with you. Our guide was very thoughtful and considerate. We learned a lot and had a nice time.
