“Yesterday Russell and I took the return train journey from Kyoto to Hiroshima specifically to do the 3 Hour Peace Cycling Tour. This was one of the best decisions we have made whilst searching tour options whilst in Japan. Our experience with Shin was nothing less than outstanding. We learnt so much! It was emotional, moving and real. I feel that this tour experience takes you a step further in understanding humanity. Cycling around added another dimension as we saw more, - stopping to talk or point out a feature. Just book this tour…you’ll never regret it.”
