A wonderful guide in Hiroshima!
Ken was highly knowledgeable about Hiroshima as he was a local. This made the experience personalised. It was very informative (and emotional). Ken also showed us to a little restaurant we would never have found without him, to try traditional Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki. It was a great experience! Highly recommend!
