We had a fantastic time exploring Miyajima Island with our guide, Joji! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. He showed us around the island, shared interesting stories and local history, and made sure we had plenty of time to take in the beautiful sights.

We really enjoyed our time on Miyajima and would definitely recommend Joji to anyone looking for a great guide! He has some great knowledge about the place

Motoko was our guide. She was absouletly amazing and showed us around Miyajima. She explained the history and showed us different statues and proper etiquette. I would reccomend this tour to any english foreginer! All the best - Aaron
Motoko was super knowledgeable and very kind, showed us alot of history about the island!! Would recommend her as a tour guide!
both tour guides have been very gentle to wait us, we were in fact 15 minutes late. they were very friendly and we spent good time together: also the explanations were clear (english). If I may suggest, it would have been nicer to visit the whole island, temples and little trekking included and give less time to eat (visitors and tourists can do it on their own after the tour)
Kiooday was amazing! Very knowledgeable. I have a great time. We visit several hot spots in the island and his guidance to get there was amazing
Ibuki is a guide who goes at the group's pace, which is very good because each group is different and has different interests. He has experience on the island and the main places of interest since he lives there. Thanks 🙏🏻
Fumiko, our guide, was very friendly and available. She made an appointment with us 1 day before via WhatsApp and was punctual. Her English was very good. Very smiling, I thank her warmly
