We had a great day at Miyajima. Cva made everyone in our group feel welcome & was thorough in keeping us together throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable & explained everything respectfully and in detail - we learnt a lot. Cva was a wonderful guide and I would recommend this tour as a way to experience this island.

All about the Island, history and religion

Siva did an excellent job today. He led our group of 11 with care, ensuring we stayed together as we caught a train, ferry and wandered the island. We heard much about the different temples and were shown and heard about the various worship traditions. An excellent 4.5 hours. And we finished on the island leaving us time to eat and explore by ourselves. An excellent and knowledgeable guide.

Excellent tour to Miiyahima island

The tour was very interesting. The Island is beautiful and the temples and sanctuaries are impressive. With our excellent guide Cva we learned a lot of how religions bond in Japanm. He was very clear and kind.

Amazing day with Shu

We had a wonderful time on the Miyajima tour with Shu! ???? Shu was an excellent guide, very friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. We really enjoyed learning about Miyajima, its history, culture, and all the little details we would have completely missed exploring on our own. The tour was definitely worth it because Shu took us to places and showed us things we probably wouldn’t have discovered by ourselves. It made our visit much more interesting and memorable. We highly recommend Shu if you’re visiting Miyajima. Thank you, Shu, for such a great experience! ????
