Long day, but totally worth it. This was a wonderful tour.
Would recommend this tour especially for those visiting Japan for the first time. Having a guide to follow (especially as you navigate the transport system) was super helpful & Taeko, our tour guide, was really friendly and polite. She was very accommodating and it was very touching to hear her stories about her own family's experience at Hiroshima. Overall, this was a well organised. Thank you again Taeko for being a great tour guide.
