Hiroshima insights - Awais is your man!

We had an amazing few hours with Awais! His knowledge about all things Hiroshima is commendable and has a gentle way of sharing the insights and stories of Hiroshima. After meeting us, Awais tailored our time together. Our suggestion is to book a morning tour. Thank you again Awais, anyone coming to Hiroshima we recommend Awais as your guide.
