Experience City tours in the best of
Hiroshima with Withlocals

"Awais gave us an exceptional 3 hour private tour of Hiroshima. His deep knowledge of the historical significance of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, the Peace Memorial Museum, Atomic Bomb Dome, G7 Summit Commemorative Gallery, and the Thousand Cranes Project made the experience both moving and educational. He explained everything with great clarity, compassion, and insight, helping us better understand the history and lasting message of peace. Arais is a kind, thoughtful, and highly educated guide who answered all of our questions with patience and care. He also recommended an excellent local lunch spot for okonomiyaki that we would never have found on our own, which made the day even more memorable. We truly appreciated his professionalism and warm personality, and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting Hiroshima."

"As a group of friends we really wanted a deep dive into some of the history of Japan and we felt like Hiroshima was a must. Having a guide was the best decision to fully experience the historical context of the place and Awais was the perfect host: not only was his knowledge of the dates, statistics and events incredibly accurate, but he was also able to give the right weight to the experience, being it so emotional on so many levels. I really appreciated his guidance and he really made our experience worth. Highly recommended! "

"Great Guide Haq Full of insider informations and grateful for the life. Great tour, thanks a lot Haq"

"We had an incredible experience with Haq as our tour guide in Hiroshima. From the very beginning, he tailored the tour to exactly what we were interested in, making it feel personal rather than scripted. His knowledge was deep and clearly well studied, but what stood out even more was how thoughtfully he shared it—always connecting history to the present in a way that felt meaningful and accessible. By the end of the day, we didn’t just feel informed, we felt genuinely educated and moved. Haq helped us understand Hiroshima not only through its history, but through its identity today as a city centered on peace and reflection. It was powerful to see how something so tragic has been transformed into a place that teaches, honors, and inspires. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Hiroshima as truly the peace capital of the world, and gratitude for a guide who brought that story to life with such care and intention."

"My husband and I spent a full day in Hiroshima with Haq. From the moment he met us he made us feel very welcome and comfortable in his company. Haq’s knowledge of the history of Hiroshima was extraordinary, he is a walking encyclopaedia! It was important to Haq that we got the most out of our day with him, and he delivered on so many levels. Thank you Haq, you made our time in Hiroshima with you very memorable."

"Spent a full day with Haq experiencing the wonderful sights and history of Hiroshima . His knowledge and passion for this beautiful city is infectious and I left this days adventure with an incredible sense of compassion and a greater appreciation and understanding of what makes Hiroshima one of the most amazing cities I have visited . A day I will remember for ever . Craig 🇦🇺"

"Had an excellent day with Haq. We could have happily spent another day in Hiroshima. We had an injury in our group and i was concerned about the duration of the tour. Haq arranged a driver for us before we arrived which was much cheaper than taking taxis everywhere. It meant we could all stay together which I was grateful for. I loved how passionate Haq is about Hiroshima. He showed us that Hiroshima is so much more than that moment in 1945. The beauty of the area is astounding, and the optimism is inspiring. "

"We booked our tour with Awais more than 2 months ago and was delighted with the communication prior to today. I was confident we’d chosen an excellent tour guide and we did! Recognising how busy the museum was, we spent more than 2 hours in the park and surrounds learning about the terrible events of 1945, the respectful memorials and Hiroshima today. Awais knows his stuff and was super engaging. We’d highly recommend him for your time in Hiroshima. "

"We very much enjoyed Haq's tour of Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park. His insights into the meaning of every monument made the day so much richer. Haq's English is excellent and he was very responsive to all enquiries. His enthusiasm for Japan is genuine and contagious!"

"We spent the day with Haq, and it went by in an instant. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about so many aspects of Hiroshima, from the tragic to the historical and some pretty good food in between, he brings a caring for his clients that is exceptional. Our only regret is not having more time with him, and his kind personality made us wish he lived closer to our home because we would be friends without a doubt. "
