Highlights
  • Jochiji Temple - A quiet and serene Zen temple surrounded by forest, the Jochiji temple was built in 1281 by Hojo Tokoyori, a leader of the Kamakura Shogunate, in order to honour his son who had died young.

Day trip to Kamakura (temples, shrines and trail hike) from Kita-Kamakura station to Kamakura beach - Terry was an excellent and thoughtful guide, contacting us before the tour to advise us about the weather, terrain and lunch choices. He is knowledgeable about Kamakura and it's shrines and temples. Would use him again and highly recommend.

Learn about the Shrines and see mountaintop views at the same time! - We enjoyed our tour with Teiko so much. She was knowledgeable, friendly and considerate. We learned much more about the shrines, temples and people of Japan in 4 hours than we had in the 4 previous days!

Kamakura - We had Toshi as our guide and she was incredible. The tour was a highlight to our trip! It was well paced and we saw many different places. Without Toshi, we would not happen really understood what we were seeing and experiencing and I’m sure we would have missed out on so much. Thanks Toshi

Fascinating Tour With Wonderful Guide - I would highly recommend taking this tour. Ms. Haga, our guide, was wonderful, knowledgeable and fun and we had the perfect day. She knows so much about the history and details of each site visited, was so kind to our family, and reserved a top-notch restaurant for our lunch. I would love to do this tour again as everything was perfect. She also made the tour so much fun for our children (boys of the ages 13, 11 and 11).

Gentle day in Kamakura - I am a solo female traveller and wanted something authentic and off the beaten track ! Had wanted to be with a guide so that I would not get lost at all . This was ideal for me as a day trip away from the concrete jungle of Tokyo. After a few days in Tokyo I needed I needed a break, Teiko is a very special guide attentive to our every need. She took us on a nature trail and understood exactly what I had wanted. I had the culture and shrines too . Our lunch was so authentic in a gorgeous little restaurant It’s a day that I will remember forever so thank you so much Teiko. Highly recommended,

Kaakura walking tour - Yu was a wonderful guide; we felt so fortunate to have the opportunity to spend the day with her! What an enjoyable way to spend the day. Easy train from Tokyo, lovely hiking and visiting monuments. She took us to a fabulous lunch spot that we never would have found without her. Highly recommend this tour.
