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 experience - Kenji gave us a lot of knowledge of the Kamakura area. We saw the awesome giant Buddha and the beautiful grounds of the Hasedera temple. Great info.

A 5 star trip with history, culture, scenic wonders made 7 star by the best guide one can hope for - Temples were not only a visit where one found ones inner self but also the rich history made you wonder. For teens and inquisitive minds having a highly learned guide and bubbling with understanding more was ultimate . While kamakura provided us with gardens, temples, shrines; enoshima was an island experience with carefully crafted step up in the history. We concluded the tour with Yokohama and its deep rooted port culture. What made it worthwhile was our guide Ms Yoshimi became a friend ..we just loved it

A 5 star trip made 7 star by super guide - Ms Yoshimi was the best guide one can have on such personal trips, very knowledgeable across stuff, able to engage, enthusiastic, ever smiling, patient and caring . As we could gather she does it as a contribution to Japanese culture and indeed is doing an extremely splendid job.

Gourmet food at Enoshima Beach - I haven't seen the ocean this year, so let's go to Enoshima Beach! Take the Odakyu Line and walk for three minutes from the station, which looks like the palace of the Dragon King, where you can eat Italian food while watching the waves crashing on the beach! At Il Chianti Beach, you can even see Mount Fuji from the window. I'm here alone for a while to reflect on my life? Watching the waves crashing on the beach really cleanses the soul...

Mazda San is excellent - highly recommend - We had a great day trip to Kamakura and Yokohama from Tokyo. Mazda san communicated well in advance, was punctual in pick up, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and knew how to get to all of the sites. He gave us options, helped us budget the time, and kept us moving along so we didn't get too held up in any one place. He was professional, but very personable - highly recommend doing a day tour with Mazda san. Arigato!

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!!!
