It was a really good experience - It was really worthwhile to have a guide. Although I could have gone to Miyajims Island by myself, I don't think I would have gotten as much out of it with Hikaru as a guide. It was also great to go with a smaller group of 4 people and to share the experience with my fellow travellers whom I ended up hanging out with for the rest of the day even after the guided tour.

Amazing tour led by Kaz - Recommend booking this magical experience! Kaz was the sweetest most informative guide we’ve had. He was able to show us parts of the island we wouldn’t have known about otherwise! We had a blast the entire time! 10/10 would recommend!

A beautiful day on Miyajima Island - Kaz was an amazing guide and the island was so beautiful and rich with history. I highly recommend the day tour. There was a fair bit of walking, but it wasn’t too hard

Amazing Tour Intimate Tour! - We had an amazing tour with Hikaru (Hika)! He was so knowledgeable and personable during our trip around Miyajima and took the time to answer all our questions. We shared stories of life and travel. Shared our love of sport and culture. We would love to recommend him as a guide to anyone visiting the island. We were there just the 2 of us as there was no other bookings so it ended up being a private tour. We would not have seen or learnt as much if we had done it solo or with a larger group.

Very nice tour with a nice guide - We really enjoyed the tour. Our group was very small with 5 people and the guide had plenty of time for each individual. We can recommend the tour. We would be happy to do it again.

A definite must-see place 🇯🇵 - The tour was wonderful! I didn’t realize that lunch and ice cream were also included, everything was delicious! Hika was a very knowledgeable and professional guide. The island had amazing views and so much to see. Half a day is definitely not enough time to see the beautiful island.

Beautiful island and fantastic guide - I had a lot of fun doing this guided tour! We saw all the „important things“ of Miyajima and got a lot of interesting information from the guide and from our visit to the Folklore Museum. Also we had lunch together and were able to order a vegan option, which I was grateful for! Can definitely recommend. Only downside was, that I was there Sunday of Golden Week, so it was pretty crowded. Would probably go on a weekday next time.
