Our visit with Preston to Hiroshima and Miyajima Island was enriching. We walked away feeling that we had a deeper insight into the events around the Hiroshima bombing. Although the museum was closed, seeing ground zero was moving. We enjoyed spending more time at Miyajima Island and learning much more about Shinto, Buddhism, and Japanese culture with regard to form and content. Very interesting and educational day. Preston was a very gracious host and educator.

Marcin was a fantastic guide – sharing with me not only his perspective on Japanese folk religion, but also his perspective and point of view of life in Japan more broadly. I still think back fondly on our conversations ranging from from discussions of Miyazaki to the theology of Pure Land Buddhism.

Kana did a wonderful job explaining the history of the bombing at Hiroshima. She was very personable and knowledgeable, and highly professional. We greatly enjoyed our tour with her.
