Knowledgable and helpful guide
Our private tour of Hirsohima with Chris as our guide was both a difficult experience and enjoyable. The museum was rather harrowing , but I guess no one can come away feeling uplifted. Chris was courteous and knowledgeable and allowed us the flexibility we needed. One of our group of 3 has mibility issues so flexibility was a necessity. Thank you CHris and Nagasaki Private Tours.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re glad Chris’s considerate guidance and flexibility helped your group explore Hiroshima comfortably, with space to reflect on its difficult history. We truly appreciate your kind words about him and our team. Nagasaki Private Tours

Great tour and guide
The experience was emotional and very sobering. Chris our guide did a terrific job giving us the insight needed for a complete understanding. We highly recommend this tour and Chris as a guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re glad Chris’s guidance brought depth and understanding to such a moving visit to Hiroshima. Your recommendation of him and the tour means a great deal to us. Nagasaki Private Tours

Great day, great guide!
We really enjoyed our tour of Hiroshima. All of the area around the Memorial and Museum is so moving and Miyajima Island is a wonderful salve after that sobering experience. It was great to be able to move freely and not be in one of the large group tours. Yuka was a wonderful guide, was so pleasant to spend the day with and we got a kick out of the unique car park process in town. For soft ice cream lovers, they have a coffee soft serve at Miyajima Coffee House that I didn't see anywhere else in Japan that was fabulous. Yuka was very patient when we wanted to find it after lunch and it was so worth it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re glad your day with Yuka gave you time to reflect in Hiroshima and enjoy the beauty of Miyajima at your own pace—with a lovely coffee ice cream stop too! Your kind words about her company and patience mean a great deal to us. Nagasaki Private Tours

Very interesting tour either way great guidance by Chris
We spent a wonderful day with Chris, our tour guide. My wife has some temporary mobility issue with taking long walks and Chris went out of his way parking as close as possible to the attractions to minimize her walking and adjusted to the pace. It was wonderful to listen to his explanations flowing in English, a huge advantage over getting a Japanese guide. The Hiroshima memorial site and surrounding garden was impressive. To avoid walking too much at the museum, Chris walked us through the main exhibits. It was quite emotional. He was later very patient trying to find for us a restaurant at Fujiyama Island due to our diet restriction and even found a pharmacy for us, as we needed one.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re so pleased that Chris’s care and flexibility helped you both explore comfortably and made your visit to Hiroshima meaningful. Your appreciation of his help with your practical needs means a great deal to us. We hope to welcome you both again someday. Nagasaki Private Tours

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hiroshima.
How much does Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $188 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hiroshima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hiroshima is not rushed.
Is Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hiroshima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hiroshima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hiroshima and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hiroshima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hiroshima?
+
On Outty we rank every Hiroshima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Peaceful Hiroshima & Miyajima UNESCO 1 Day Bus Tour, Hiroshima Peace (Heiwa) Walking Tour at World Heritage Sites, Hiroshima and Miyajima Day Trip with Itsukushima Shrine & Ferry. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hiroshima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hiroshima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation; Entrance fees; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour?
+
