To see Kamakura properly, enjoy a guided walk. - A Fabulous day, Tossy, our guide, was engaging and a font of knowledge. With 2 reasonably fit 70 year olds to shephard, we saw not only the magnificent Temples, shrines, manicured gardens, traditional Japanese buildings, narrow little streets, & lots of photos and all at a pace that suited us. I think we dissapointed her, after a very nice lunch at the Kaikoan Restaurant/ Great Kannon we made our way, via the Kamakura local train , we walked through Komachi Street, enjoying some street food & treats ( included), and spending some Yen. But there was more, and we'd hit our limit. So we were guided back to our train, tired, but with a lifetimes memories.

Kamakura daytrip - Ken gave us a really detailed view on Kamakura and took us to some beautiful places. I think if we didn’t go with him, we would have never seen these beautiful things.

Great cultural tour of the customs and traditions of the people of Japan! - Grand walking tour of temples and shrines around Kamakura! Nori was knowledgeable about the history and customs of each location, as well as patient and attentive to our curiosity. Our scheduled route ran a little long, but we felt it was the right length. It was wonderful to be immersed in the hustle of the city on a weekend. The streets were crowded, and Nori helped us navigate with grace and ease. Food offerings were splendid and we came away satisfied. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a good hike, doesn't mind climbing stairs, loves views from high places, architecture several hundred years old, and learning about the customs and traditions of the people of Japan.

The best Kamakura trip ever!! - Our guide, Yosh-san was amazing. We developed a deeper understanding of the history of Kamakura, all thanks to him. The walking tour was mesmerising under the bright sun. Moreover, I had the best lunch in Japan yet, which was recommended by Yosh-san. My mother also had a great time. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends and family
