“Tatsuya is outstanding as a guide!”
We booked our tour with Tatsuya several months before our arrival in Japan. From the beginning he was in full contact with us and kept us fully informed of his plans for our tour. He was punctual on the day if our tour and led us from location to location with confidence and all the while providing incredible details of what we were seeing. His knowledge of the area and managing crowds were second to none. We have taken many guided tours and this rates near or at the top. His gifts at the end of the tour were a classy touch to an exceptional day. Cannot recommend highly enough!

The tour with Tatsuya was awesome! He is very knowledgeable, speaks English well and a master of his craft. He brought us to good spots with local hacks that helped us skip the line, avoid crowds and good views. He is cool and super easy to get along with. He even gave us snacks and souvenirs. It was a 5-star experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Tatsuya. Our amazing Hiroshima guide”
Tatsuya was so amazing. I'm going to recommend him to all our friends in New York. He keeps in touch from the minute you arrive in Japan and then till u make it to Hiroshima. He's an educated young man who has seen and worked in so many different countries. It's an amazing experience spending time with him. He' has a great command of English. He also knows French and Spanish and has worked all over the world. He's punctual, helpful and courteous. He met us @ the Hiroshima Station and dropped us back on our platform after to go back to Kyoto.
He had all the tickets etc all ready for our tour which lasted nearly 6 hours. He knew exactly where the entrances and exits were to avoid the many tourists that visit this place.
He shared a local lemon sweet in a box with us which I thought was such a nice gesture; and as parting gift offered us the whole box. I would highly recommend him. A great find that we hope to share. with our friends. We wish him all the best always

“Hiroshima and Miyajima Island”
We had such a wonderful time on our tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima Island with Tatsuya. He guided us through each site so seamlessly, making the day stress-free, insightful, and deeply meaningful. His knowledge and storytelling brought the history of the area to life, and we learned so much more than we would have on our own. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

“Fantastic day out”
The best day we’ve had in our 3week stay in Japan! We had been anticipating our visit to Hiroshima and today we were not disappointed. We were very fortunate to have had Tatsuya as our guide. He was so knowledgeable, informative, organised, considerate of our wishes and a thorough gentleman. As far as guides go on our numerous travels around the world in our retirement, he will go down as one of, if not the best guide we have had.
He rearranged the daily schedule to avoid the crowds on Miyajima so we went there first, and spent a few hours on the beautiful island. He knew the best place for Okonomiyaki lunch away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets of Miyajimacuchi. We then visited the Atomic bomb precinct - the Genbaku A-Bomb dome, the Peace Memorial park and the Memorial museum in the afternoon.
We are really glad that we chose to go with Freetour and would unreservedly recommend them.

“Tatsuya is a great guide”
Tatsuya is a great guide that really knows everything about Hiroshima and is prepared to answer any question.
The tour is very nice but also very sad as most of you can imagine. The pictures that you will see at the last stop are so disturbing.
I would recomend this tour as it is filled with information and Tatsuya knows how to take you to those time periods when presenting them

“Awesome and very informative tour of Hiroshima”
Tatsuya is an incredibly wonderful guide. He is so knowledgeable about Hiroshima and i like that he linked his families stories about what occurred during the war. He made the day so incredibly easy for us by picking us up from our hotel. The tour was so organized and having Tatsuya's insight while touring the museum made the experience so much more meaningful though incredibly sad and emotional. Tatsuya picked a wonderful spot right by the ferry with nice views to try Okonomiyaki and guided us through the ordering process. We enjoyed the time on Miyakama Island and the explanations of the founding of the temple. and of course the deer were pretty cute.
We really appreciated the fact that when we returned he assisted us with purchasing our tickets for Kyoto and gave us helpful advice on where to get the types of souvenirs I wanted to get for my family. At the end he even presented us with gifts which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend this trip when you are in Hiroshima and Tatsuya as a truly gifted tour guide.

“ Hiroshima and Mi ”
Tatsuya is really a wonderful guide.
He is knowledgeable, engaging and dependable.
From the start he communicated regularly and sent a clear itinerary of what we would be seeing.
He was also open to any changes or suggestions.
He showed us the highlights of Hiroshima and we visited Mijyama.
We would never have been able to experience Hiroshima in such an enjoyable and meaningful way if we did not have him guide us.
We thank him for a memorable visit and for an amazing day and for his kindness.

Tatsuya was a bomb. He is kind, friendly, accommodating and knowlegeable. Thank you for showing us Hiroshima and Miyajima. Of course not to mention the best Okonomiyaki that I have tasted to date. Hope to be back soon Tatsuya. Thank you for being so generous, thanks for all the gifts. Take care always! Best Marckie & Michael

“Tatsuya was full of knowledge and enthusiasm”
The tour was tiring, however we were given great insights into the Atomic Bomb event and the human stories that surrounded it. Getting around was also made easy since Tatsuya knew the relevant buses and trains to catch. We had a great lunch of Okonomyaki, one of our tour "must dos", and then an informative tour of Mijyama island. As we walked from place to place, we were able to have great conversations, which all added up to a great tour.
As another matter, he suggested that we start a bit earlier to avoid the crowds. This was very effective, as we saw a lot of crowds just starting on the things we had finished.

Tatsuya our guide was amazing, he was very prompt answering all emails and explaining everything in detail. He met us at our hotel and helped us navigate the train, bus and ferry. Tatsuya also suggested a great place for lunch where we were able to avoid the crowds. He was very informative with all his knowledge of Hiroshima.
If you’re thinking about booking a tour I highly recommend Tatsuya .

“Best experience in Japan”
Tatsuya was very communicative even before we arrived in Japan and he made a detailed list of all the expenses. On the day, he was already waiting for us when we got off the Shinkansen. He is very knowledgeable and adaptable to the needs of the group. I think as a family the day we went to Hiroshima and Miyajima was the best experience we had. Greatly recommended!

“Exceptional!”
Tatsuya organized an outstanding tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima (Itsukushima). His local knowledge ensured we experienced both must-see attractions and authentic local life. We wandered charming streets and indulged in delicious Hiroshima okonomiyaki at a spot I wouldn't have found on my own. Our conversations were enjoyable, as Tatsuya is a well-traveled guide with excellent English. I highly recommend this tour.

He had planned the tour very efficiently so that we could go to as many places as possible to make the most of the day but also without feeling rushed. We loved the whole day and we would not have been able to see everything we saw or learn as much as we did if we had not booked this tour.

“Simply THE BEST”
Tatsuya wasn't just a tour guide, it was like hanging around with a friend how is telling the history of the city. As he is a well-travelled person, he is able to discuss many topics and make parallels with the Japanese culture. His tour was very insightful and perceptive. At the end, we even felt ashamed by how much we tipped him. He sure deserved much more. It a long tour and it is extremely worth it. It will definitely go beyond your expectations

“Unforgettable tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima ”
We had the pleasure of joining Tatsuya's tour around Hiroshima and Miyajima, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! Tatsuya’s deep knowledge of history and culture brought every site to life, from the moving stories of Hiroshima to the serene beauty of the Shrines and Temples.
He also introduced us to the delicious local specialty, Okonomiyaki, adding a fun culinary touch to the day. Tatsuya’s kindness and thoughtfulness left a lasting impression, making this tour one of the highlights of our trip to Japan.
We wholeheartedly recommend Tatsuya’s tour to anyone planning to visit Japan. His passion and dedication make this experience unforgettable.

“Must-Do Tour ”
It is difficult to put into words how incredible of a tour this is, largely due to the guide, Tats. Echoing many of the other reviews -- by the end of the tour (or even just midway through) Tats felt like a friend we hadn't seen in awhile, rather than a tour guide we had met just hours ago. He spent the entire day with us, was flexible on timing and content to meet our desires and timing constraints, and provided invaluable insights all the while. Everyone in our group hopes to see Tats again one way or another. Most of my group figured that they would do the first half of the tour but be "toured" out by the time we got to Miyajima, and I was going to do the second half on my own. However, by the time we got to Miyajima everyone was excited to keep hanging out with Tats.

“One of the best tours I have ever done ”
Simply one of the best tours ever.
Great insight. Amazing company. Tatsuya was like a friend more than a guide and we will remember the experience forever. He will do what you want to do but still suggest hidden places that we would never have found without him. I can't put into words his generosity and kindness heartedness as well as being a very knowledgeable and organised guide.
Thanks so much

“A must do destination! With a great local guide!”
Tatsuya is hands down the most professional and knowledgable guide you could’ve ever find in Hiroshima and Miyajima Island.
Not only was he always doing great follow-ups and providing tips even days before our tour, but he is also extremely smart and well informed; with a deep understanding of anything your could ask him regarding Japan… culture, history, food, geopolitics, faiths, trends, places, people… simply impressive!
He made the hours long tour feel like minutes, we enjoyed every moment in awe thanks to his marvelous storytelling skills; the astonishing places we visited were adorned by all the facts, figures, stories and rich details he shared with us nonstop.
If you enjoy an immersive experience, history, food and learning from foreign cultures you will love this tour and Tatsuya!
Extra points for surprising us with some Spanish and even throwing in some Mexican slang!
TL;DR… you can’t miss this tour!

“Amazing Local Guide”
Tatsuya was incredible from our first contact with him. He was organized, prompt and described in detail what we would be doing, entrance fees and the time involved. He answered all of our questions and picked us up on time and spent an entire day with us. He is so knowledgeable about the area and directed us to the best entrances and temples throughout the day to beat the crowds. We had been having trouble finding food that we could eat because we are vegetarians, but he took us to a local restaurant and had the cook make us a delicious meal that was the best food we had eaten since our arrival in Japan. We found out at the beginning of the tour that he is also a sushi chef. I wish we had known sooner because we would have hired him to teach us how to make sushi. Don't miss touring Hiroshima and the island with Tatsuya. You won't regret it!

“6 friends traveling ”
This was such a great tour. From the beginning to the end of our tour we received nothing but excellent service. I can’t say anything but good things of our tour guide Tatsuya. Tatsuya communicates with us on what’s up from the day the tour was confirmed. He send us the tour itinerary and asked if there was anything we wanted to add or change. We left it as is and we had such a great time. Tatsuya was very knowledgeable of all the sites we visited, he gave us facts and history which was great. This was our first time visiting Japan and we loved it. A lot of walking which he told us about and very busy schedule if you want to visit all the main historic locations. Lunch was great we went to a little restaurant where we all sat together and our tour guide explained how to order and asked if we had any allergies. We had such a great time that we have recommend a few of our friends to him. The highlight was the island it was just beautiful and Tasuya knew all the picture perfect spots. He is a local of Hiroshima, he advised how to get there and how much we needed to add on our sucia card to complete the tour. This tour is a must, he was patient, knowledgeable and very down to earth. Never felt rushed or pressured. Thanks Tatsuya for the great experience.

I had the pleasure of spending an entire day with Tatsuya as our guide, and it was an incredible experience! His explanations at the Peace Museum were not only thorough and engaging but also deeply personal, as his grandfather is a survivor. This added a unique and heartfelt perspective to the visit.
Afterward, Tatsuya took us to Miyajima, where he introduced us to some amazing hidden gems that we wouldn’t have found on our own. His knowledge of the area and his warm, friendly demeanor made the day truly unforgettable.
If you’re considering a tour, we wholeheartedly recommend Tatsuya. You won’t regret it!

“Amazing day”
Tatsuya was great! He asked me what I wanted to visit as soon as I booked so that we could cover all the sites during the visit. He was very organised and knew the best entrances and exits to ensure we would not end up waiting for transfers, to get the perfect IG shot and view. There are lots lots of tourists so that was extremely helpful. Impeccable organisation! We did Miyajima via cable car, then hike to the fire and the top (30mins), and then we visited the museum in Hiroshima and the main hisotric sites. Throughout the day he gave us lot of explanation on the history and culture of Japan. Lunch was okonomiyaki...amazing! He also gave some tips to other tourists we encountered during the day! Would recommend doing the tour to everyone.

“Memorable day in Hiroshima”
Tatsuya was excellent! He went above and beyond to anticipate our needs with our arrival on the Shinkansen as well as confirming details with Yamato knowing we wanted to deliver our luggage upon arrival. As for the tour he knew it was going to be busy and he somehow arranged everything so that we didn’t stand in a single line! On top of that he is a history buff and a local so having someone who is knowledgable who can provide the cultural context for our various stops was invaluable. If you’re looking for a tour in Hiroshima look no further!

He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible, from providing insightful information to offering helpful tips and recommendations. His warm and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the tour.
Visiting the serene and magical island of Miyajima was a highlight, and Tatsuya's guidance made it even more special. His enthusiasm for the beauty and significance of the island was contagious, and we left with a deeper appreciation for this stunning destination.

“Tatsuya enriched my experience in Japan”
I was lucky to spend a day with Tatsuya by myself. I arrived in Japan with some knowledge about the Shinto and Buddhist religions and WW2. Tatsuya really added context to my knowledge. He grew up in Hiroshima and provided a unique perspective about its history, lifestyle, and current developments. He’s a very nice guy; I enjoyed his company and I hope you get a chance to do the same. Book early though.

“Great tour with Tatsuya! Highly suggested!”
We had a great time with Tatsuya, who spent the entire day with us and showed us around Miyajima Island and Hiroshima most characteristic places. His explanations were very clear and complete, we found out a lot of things we didn’t know about temples, cities, shrines and history as well. We had lunch in a very nice place, chosen by him. He is very kind and talkative, so it was a pleasure to spend our time with him. Highly suggested tour and guide! Thank you for everything.

Tatsuya has been an amazing guide! If you're gonna be only one day in Hiroshima this is your tour, in 5 hours you can see the highlights of the city and the explanations of Tatsuya make it even better. He will make you feel as you are in a day trip with friends, walking and chatting about Hiroshima, Japan and whatever you would like to talk about. It is definitely a must do it!

“Amazing Experience”
Tatsuya was an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable about Hiroshima and its history, even his own grandfather was a survivor so he has a lot to tell. The museum was really incredible with his guide and the visit to Miyajima island was unforgettable. He knows the hidden spots for great pictures and shortcuts to avoid crowds. We even had lunch and it was simply delicious, we had okonomiyaki. I fully recommend this tour. Tatsuya put all his effort to make us feel welcomed and comfortable, he even gave us dessert and a souvenir. We wanted to make some shopping and he took us to the best places to buy. Thank you Tatsuya for this great tour.

We are two 31 y/o Canadians and we had an excellent day with Tatsuya as our guide. He is very friendly and knowledgeable of the history of Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. The day was well planned and tailored to our interests since we were the only ones in the group that day. We enjoyed Tatsuya’s explanations and we learned a lot from him. We ended the day with an Okonomiyaki dinner at a local spot Tatsuya recommended — it was fantastic. Please don’t wait and just book the tour! You won’t regret it. Thank you Tatsuya!

“Hiroshima and Mr. Miyagi Island! ”
What a pleasant experience this was and I had my own personal guide Tatsuya. He text me a few minutes after I booked and gave me full details. He was thorough and we made plans. He also gave me hotel names and ideas to stay. Tour was great and to see it in person, being American, was eye opening. Tatsuya went over everything in the museum and added pieces noone else got. Some were listening to him speak. He is well versed and was easy to understand. The tour went well, he then took us to a local food place to get some Omenyaki, that was really good and I found out Hiroshima is well.known for Oysters too, so we had a half dozen of them too! Last bit, which I was just like thisk could be cool, was fun and got to.try some sweets and get coffee at the shop on top of the steps, great view! We talked about a lot of things, even the trains and busses were fun to ride and see so much! Overall, this was a great tour with a great guide/guy! We had drinks after and talked more and got to know each other on a better level. FB friends now and book him, totally worth it! Thanks Tatsuya, it was great to here the Japanese perspective on the events through you and the museum! Miyagi Island was an added bonus with coffee and treats!

“highly recommended tour and guide”
Tatsuya, our guide, communicated with us as soon as we booked the tour. He was very helpful informing us what to expect ahead of time. The tour itself was very good. Tatsuya is very knowledgeable and we appreciated him sharing a lot about the culture in Hiroshima and Miyajima. We had good okonomiyaki (both regular and crunchy type ????) with him. After the Miyajima tour, he accompanied us to our hotel to check in. He also recommended a very good restaurant in Miyajima where our family had dinner. The following day, he even helped us by instructing us how to get back to Hiroshima when our train was suddenly suspended. Very grateful!

“Amazing time with Tatsuya!”
My wife Laura and I had the pleasure of being guided by Tatsuya. He was an incredible person, full of knowledge and wisdom. He took us to Hiroshima’s nuclear weapons museum, where we better understood the dangers of these weapons and the fatalities that Hiroshima experienced. It was a very emotional tour. Afterward, he took us to eat Okonomiyaki, a popular food from the city, at his favorite restaurant owned and run by an elderly couple in their 80s. It was a traditional place, very cozy with a great ambiance, and we had a blast there (I can’t recall the name, but you can ask him to take you there with no problem).
We also experienced Miyajima Island, full of deer and beautiful temples. Despite the persistent rain, we had a great time learning about the island and its temples as we hiked around it.
To finish our tour, I asked Tatsuya to take us to a sake place. We ended up in a nice sake bar that was just opening when we arrived. We tried eight different types of sake, all of which were well explained by Tatsuya. He is well-educated about sake, and I learned a lot about this delicious Japanese drink. It was one of my highlights. Once we finished, we went to try the famous Hiroshima ramen noodles. It was a short walk from the bar where we were. This ramen was very delicious and filling. After spending the day together, it was time to say goodbye. Tatsuya walked us to our hotel and gave us some souvenirs!
Overall this was one of my favorites and best experiences with a guide, not just because Tatsuya knew how to explain all the places we went and the history but also because of the great conversations I had with him, I felt I was hanging out with a friend and that’s how I would call him from now on.
I hope you guys can get into his schedule because we assure you you will have the best guide ever!

Tatsuya’s tour is so informative and fun. He is an amazing tour guide — passionate, dedicated, patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. We were a group of four and Tatsuya took us to see everything we were scheduled to see in Hiroshima and Miyajima despite the rainy weather that we experienced the day of our tour. We even got to try okonomiyaki at a traditional restaurant. I would recommend Tatsuya to anyone and everyone who is looking for a great tour of Hiroshima.

“Best day”
Tatsuya is a very knowledgeable, kind and personable guide. His knowledge of history was seriously impressive. He is a world traveler himself with strong family roots in Hiroshima. He zipped us around the crowds at the museum explaining the exhibits and saving us from reading plaques. The okonoyaki was the best food we had all trip and we feel so lucky to have had Tatsuya introduce us to that delicious meal and the restaurant owners who were a delight. I can't say enough nice things about this tour. Book it. You won't regret it. Tatsuya takes care of all the details which makes the whole day very easy and worry free, easy to enjoy.

“Hiroshima and Miyajima Island Tour with Tatsuya”
Thank you Tatsuya for an amazing day out !
You gave us an itinerary before we started. We started at the Peace Memorial museum having visited the A bomb dome previously. The museum in itself was very moving but having you quietly tell us little known facts about the display as we walked through and how the very well thought out way the A bomb was targeted on Hiroshima and then Nagasaki was shocking. We went on to eat Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki in Miyajimaguchi - delicious ????& you told us the origins ! We then walked to the ferry to Miyajimacho island & Itsukishima shrine ⛩️ and spent the rest of a lovely sunny ???? afternoon walking & talking as you explained to us the importance and significance of the shrine
Finally arriving back in Hiroshima we went for sushi ???? together. To round off a memorable day trip the origami was so thoughtful . Full marks ✅
Thank you ☺️ once again

“Emotionally intense”
I spent a fruitful day in Hiroshima with the guide, Tetsuya-san, a local if Hiroshima who is very prepared and kind. The tour was well organized and smooth. Tetsuya-san had prepared me in advance by giving me precise indications on what we were going to visit and everything was done as expected. The visit at the museum is rather emotionally intense and Tetsuya-san enriches the visit with his knowledge. I am grateful for having visited Hiroshima and Itsukushima island with him rather than alone, I felt like I was travelling with a friend. Whenever I'll go back there, I wish he will be available as a guide again.

“First time in Japan made better by Tatsuya ”
I've met a really kind and smart man in Tatsuya. We had a great day, he showed me around town and was able to answer all of my questions, he even helped me get to a shrine which I saw online but didn't know much about it. He also have a great knowledge of the city and the things the tour focuses on, so I've learned a lot. His English is great as well, and we were able to communicate via email and chat beforehand. It was a well organised tour, I had a great day and I recommend Tatsuya with five stars. Hope to meet again, best wishes!

Even though I was the only one requested for the tour that Tatsuya kindly accepted it. He also gave recommendations for 1st day in Hiroshima, He came to my hotel in the morning. And then we went to Peace museum which was very moving and then to mayajima island which is very good island properly one of the best places that I visited in Japan. In between we tried okonomiyaki, which was very good! He was even helping me with information for rabbit tour next which I couldn’t go for some reason. While parting he gifted some souvenirs & made me try lemon tart. He is really nice person. Highly recommend
