Hiroshima Prefecture 2026 Calendar of Events

Awais was extremely knowledgeable and was able to clearly answer any questions our group had. He was a great communicator and held the perfect pace for the tour. He checked in with how each person in the group was feeling throughout the tour. Cycling was a very engaging way to experience Hiroshima.

This was a great tour. Our guide Thomas was excellent. He made the tour interesting and engaging. I would highly recommend.

Our guide Awais was excellent. He looked after everyone very kindly. Awais was super knowledgeable and could explain everything so clearly. The tour gave a wonderful overview of the key sights relevant to the atomic bomb and its impact on life afterwards. It was easy to find the meeting place and the bikes were comfortable. I highly recommend this tour

Thomas was an excellent tour guide and storyteller. He really conveyed the essence of the city, and left us with a lot to think about in an interesting and engaging way. Highly recommend to travelers!

Kaori was our tour guide, and she was fantastic with great English and local knowledge, all delivered in a lovely way.

We had a great tour . Pancho is an excellent communicator who explains the history throughout the tour in a poignant and relatable manner. We saw everything relevant to that fateful day and the incredible recovery afterwards. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Pancho as a Hiroshima tour guide. T and B

Excellent tour . Our guide Angela was v good and she organised an interesting and varied tour over 5 hrs . Would recommend .

Food tour was a great experience with our guide Yoko! She was very welcoming and loved getting to see her favorite places around the city. Food was amazing and got to see some local places that we otherwise wouldn’t have gone into! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely great experience with an absolute great guide

Booked with Japan Panoramic Tours.y 2nd tour with them. Tour was really exceptional.Our guide, Marin was awesome. In this business interpersonal skills really make a difference. Marin has outstanding interpersonal skills. She is a tremendous asset to your company

We spent the day with Pancho and it was fabulous! He picked us up at the train station and immediately felt like a friend. We really appreciated him sharing his family's history with us. It is unique to have such a personal connection to the history and you can tell it is really part of who he is. He was great at answering questions and making conversation. He has a good command of English and is easy to understand. Pancho was very helpful to get us to Miyajima and give us suggestions for things to see. It was a lovely day and you won't regret booking with Pancho!

We had a wonderful time exploring these two areas. As a native of Hiroshima Pancho was able to share his personal family experience with us which we appreciated. The Peace Museum and park were moving and highly informative; those are must-see sites. We enjoyed our day with Pancho and recommend him as your guide!

Good 2-part tour. Hiroshima Peace Park was a great place, though it was a little crowded, lots of school children. The Peace Museum has a large permanent exhibition of photos, artefacts and records, maybe take care deciding whether to bring kids here. But for us the real highlight was Miyajima, we would have loved to have spent more time there.Our guide was great, lots of information and interesting stories to share.

Arrived in Hiroshima early morning from Osaka via the Shinkansen bullet train which was approximately a 90 minute trip. My guide Pancho met me at the Hiroshima train station and it was great to have the flexibility to mix things up as I needed a coffee and another breakfast and then rather than heading out on foot we jumped in a taxi to ground zero. It was a rich and informative day of mixed emotions that was proffesionly presented by Pancho. I appreciated his sharing of knowledge and his excellent command of english. This was my wifes idea of utilising the tourbylocals and having a one one tour to ensure that it met all my needs. It was definitely the best decision and I had the best guide for the best experience.

Had a great day in Hiroshima learning about the atom bomb dropped on the city and its continuing effects on its people. Very educational. Personal experiences of the guide and his parents and grand parents made it very personal

Wonderful experience with Etsko our guide.
