Being the only guest on the tour meant I had Thomas's full attention throughout the experience. The okonomiyaki restaurant he takes you to is an attraction in itself, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Beyond exploring Hiroshima and its incredible food, Thomas and I had engaging conversations on a wide range of topics, which made the tour feel even more personal and memorable. I highly recommend this tour!

If you're considering this tour, stop thinking and just book it! Thomas was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge of Hiroshima, Japanese history, and culture is incredibly impressive, but what makes the experience truly special is the passion he brings to every story he tells. You can immediately feel that his love for Japan is genuine and deeply personal. Beyond the fascinating history and the amazing okonomiyaki experience, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations about Japan, its culture, its people, and everyday life. Thomas has a rare ability to make you feel like you're exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend rather than simply following a guide. His personal journey and connection to Japan add a unique dimension to the tour, making every stop meaningful and memorable. He answered every question with enthusiasm, shared wonderful local insights, and created an experience that felt authentic from beginning to end. This was one of the highlights of my time in Hiroshima. If you want great food, fascinating history, genuine cultural insights, and an unforgettable guide, Thomas is the person you're looking for.

Would def recommend this one. Learned a bunch of stuff about the history of Hiroshima and okonomiyaki while being thoroughly entertained throughout. It's very apparent that Thomas is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does making this an incredible experience. Also the food was amazing. Doubt I would have been able to find a place this good (and good value!) without the benefit of an experienced local like Thomas. And apologies to Osaka, but after this I'm always going for Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki.

Thomas is a knowledgeable and entertaining guide! He told us stories about the history of the food and took us to a restaurant with great atmosphere and food - for the tasting. It was really nice - so much so, that we would have enjoyed more: more information about local foods, and perhaps one or two more tasting-stops. Recommended!

I’m glad we tried the “original” Okonomiyaki in Hiroshima. Thomas was very good we recommend taking his tour.

Thomas was a great guide, he was extremely enthusiastic about Japan and Hiroshima. He happily answered all our questions and gave us plenty of tips about where to go and what to do.

Thomas erklärt ausführlich die Hintergründe um die Entstehung von Okonomiyaki und zeigt einem ein paar Anlaufstellen im Stadtzentrum, die mit diesem bedeutenden Staple Dish von Hiroshima zu tun haben, bevor es zum Restaurant geht. Thomas ist darüber hinaus ein sehr guter Gesprächspartner, der mir beim gemeinsamen Abendessen nicht nur alles zu Okonomiyaki erzählt hat, sondern auch einen sehr guten Abriss über die japanische Geschichte gegeben hat. Ich würde jedem die Buchung der Tour empfehlen und möchte mich noch einmal bedanken.

I had a great time on the tour with Thomas. Walking around the city with him was easy and really enjoyable. He went beyond my expectations and has a great personality. If you want to experience Hiroshima from a local perspective, I definitely recommend him. He also took us to a delicious and affordable place to eat. He was always very kind and answered all our questions with lots of helpful information. I’m sure he can also recommend great places to visit and eat even outside Hiroshima.

This was such a unique way to sample the speciality of Hiroshima. Having tasted the version from Osaka, I now prefer the Hiroshima version more. Thomas was very knowledgeable and shared other significant historical events as well, shifting our conversation from food, culture to history. It was a perfect introduction to Hiroshima. Don’t miss out on this food tour!

A great and authentic experience with a knowledgeable host. Would highly recommend.

This was simply the best guided tour I have ever had. Thomas was incredibly well informed, funny and could answer every question we had. In addition he gave us a run-down of the history of feudal Japan, which was as entertaining as it was informative. The food was great, but the stories he told were absolutely the highlight of the tour. He even stayed longer to answer all our questions. Such an amazing guide!

Thomas weiss sehr viel über Essen, dessen Zubereitung, teilt dies gerne mit und ist ebenfalls ein guter Zuhörer. Zudem teilt er auch sein Kulturwissen mit dem Gast. Er kennt sich gut aus😀.
