If you have only one day to visit somewhere outside of Tokyo, Kamakura is the place to go!

We have a list of professional guides in different languages to make your day fun and memorable.

Kamakura Day trip from Tokyo - My husband and I had a wonderful day with our adult children touring multiple sites in Kamakura and Yokohama. Mazda was extremely helpful and had a well prepared and planned day for us. He also allowed us to customize the day as ideas and questions came up. My personal favorite was our experience sipping hot matcha tea overlooking the bamboo garden at Hokokuji Temple which was not on my list but recommended by Mazda. Mazda also took a ton of family pics further us at all the best places. (Most Moms will appreciate this as that way I didn’t have to be the one asking. Loved that!). A second highlight was the Ramen shop Mazda took us to have lunch where locals order from a ticket machine. BEST RAMEN and cold beer!! Try the fried chicken!! Tak our driver was also AWESOME! A very professional duo!! Can’t thank them enough for helping us create amazing memories of our families first trip to Japan!!!

Best day ever! - My family spent the day exploring Kamakura and some surrounding areas with Yoshi and a lovely driver. Her English was excellent! We had the best time and we would never have been able to get as much in one day on our own of with a large group tour. We really enjoyed the tours of the different shrines and temples as well as explanations of Japanese culture. One of the highlights was an official matcha tasting by one of the shrines. Another highlight was the cup of noodles museum! Our day was completely customized for us which was lovely.

Why would you use anyone else? - Masae was a wonderful native Japanese guide and was a pleasure spending the day with her and her driver. Masae knew and explained the history taking us to places no one esle might know of, while her driver (whose name I cannot recall) knew all the shortcuts and best vantage points. Masae was so kind that she messaged us 5 weeks later to make sure we were safe when a big earthquake hit West Japan as she knew we were traveling all over.

Fantastic and Comfortable Tour with Mazda - Terrific experience with our licensed tour guide, Mazda. We did a private tour with our family of six. The entire tour was was customizable and flexible according to our preferences, and we greatly appreciated the air conditioned van in the 90+ degree heat and humidity. I would guess that what we saw in one day with Mazda would have taken 3-4 days to see on our own. The time savings, convenience, comfort, and local knowledge made it incredibly worthwhile given our limited time. Mazda was not only an informed tour guide and efficient driver, but also performed roles as a translator, porter, photographer, and all-around whatever-we-needed helper. He was personable, kind, and helpful and gave us an unforgettable experience we will always remember.

Great tour & tour guide - We had a great day with our guide Sumiko & Toshi our driver. We got to see all the sights we wanted to visit in Kamakura & had a wonderful traditional lunch. We were not rushed, even though it was a holiday with large crowds. We learned so much from Sumiko about Japanese history & the sites we visited. They went above board by picking us up with our luggage, dropping the luggage off at our hotel in Yokohama & than continued on with the tour to Kamakura & back to Yokohama to finish the tour. I highly recommend this company !

Wonderful tour with great guide and driver. Highly recommend. - We had a wonderful tour with Matsashi and Tak. The Japanese garden was beautiful, making our own udon was fun and all the other stops were great as well. Tak did a great job driving us around and Matsashi was an awesome guide. He speaks English very well and was easy to understand. He shared history and other relevant information with us and was very flexible with the tour. Truly a good experience.
