Experience tomorrow the best of
Hiroshima with Withlocals

"Awais provided a great tour of Hiroshima. It was definitely a sobering look at the destruction of the nuclear bombing and its lasting impact. Awais was very knowledgeable of the history and provided a great history lesson that focused on all aspects of this period in time."

"Haq made our afternoon in Hiroshima great and gave us a great private tour. He was extremely flexible and accommodating and figured out ways to make it a great tour despite holiday closures. He really made an effort to keep our daughter interested and engaged and overall added so much to the experience that we wouldn’t get just by walking around on our own. "

"Nabeel is personable, responsive and knowledgeable. My kids enjoyed his company and found him interesting and engaging. The walking tour had a nice variety of sights. Nabeel provided some great recommendations for restaurants and hidden gems (like Mitaki-dera) that helped us plan our remaining time in Hiroshima. We recommend!"

"I had an amazing time with Haq. I learnt so much about the history of Hiroshima as well as insightful aspects of Japanese culture. I not only loved his breadth of knowledge but also his humour and enthusiasm and kindness. He can also tell a great story and was really entertaining! I would warmly recommend him for any tour you are wanting to do in Hiroshima. Thank you Haq 🙏"

"We really enjoyed our tour with Awais. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he is personable and was wonderful to spend time with. He made sure we got the full picture of Hiroshima and understood what happened there. I would highly recommend. "

"Awais was extremely knowledgeable and provided great insight regarding the horrific events that occurred in Hiroshima during WWII. Our tour visited all of the important landmarks and memorials as well as a trip to the castle and gardens. We saw all of the sights on our list we had hoped to experience in Hiroshima. As an added bonus when it was time for lunch he took us to an incredible okonomyaki restaurant that was absolutely delicious. We chose Awais based upon prior reviews on the withlocals site and the reviews were on point. He has a PhD. in economics and speaks several languages fluently. He was able to easily explain all the important information to us. It was a great experience. We would highly recommend Awais as a tour guide. "

"Awais was helpful and responsive from our first connection, and the depth and breadth of his knowledge was immediately evident. He did a fantastic job of keeping us captivated, and helping us to understand the history and events around Hiroshima. He also takes you to places that you may not necessarily visit or understand the significance of without his guidance such as the breathtaking digital vault with an encompassing mosaic of the damage that was created using the exact number of tiles as the number of casualties, as well as other fascinating memorials that honor all of the children of Hiroshima, including citizens from abroad. Awais is quite friendly and easy to spend time with - I recommend that you spend some time with him too!"

"We had a memorable three hours with Haq who customized our 10 highlights tour to focus on the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. Haq has an amazing historical depth of knowledge and he is an enthusiastic and engaging story teller which made things so much more interesting. We learned a great deal, thanks Haq! "

"Had a great 3 hours with Haq. Very informative and educational. Would definitely recommend him. "

"We had the pleasure of spending three hours in Hiroshima with our local guide, Haq, and it was truly an outstanding experience. Haq impressed us with his deep knowledge, explaining history in such a clear and engaging way that the bigger picture came together like a puzzle. He was extremely friendly, attentive to our wishes, and wonderful with our children—encouraging them to listen, ask questions, and take part. His excellent English made communication very easy and enjoyable. Time passed so quickly because we were fully immersed. Haq is a warm, professional, and highly recommended guide."
