Very nice experience however there was not enough time at the Great Buddha and too much time at the island which offered us nothing but food.

Yuki is extremely knowledgeable, has an excellent command of the English language and effortlessly articulates difficult concepts making them easily understandable. Our driver drove safely, was courteous and smiley. Yuki went above and beyond to be helpful. Both she and our driver are compassionate and assets to your hospitality company. Thank you for a great tour.

Yuki was a wonderful host for today’s excursion. We enjoyed 4 different stops at which we were able to explore at our own pace. She provided great history and background as well as site specific pamphlets to allow us to customize our path at each. She also helped by providing specific instructions for where and what time to meet back up. Very helpful in a location like Kamakura. We got lucky and the weather was cool and the rain held off long enough to enjoy the entire day without needing an umbrella. Really enjoyed the fresh seafood at the last stop. Wonderful views. Be prepared to walk up a lot of steps and bring your energy for this one. So much to see and learn about this wonderful place. Thank you Yuki!!

You can go to places that I would have a hard time getting to and I would spend more. Guide Erick is very friendly

This tour exceeded every expectation I had. Kamakura was absolutely stunning from start to finish. The temples were incredible, and what really stood out was how green and lush the whole area was. Every stop felt like you were stepping into a completely different world, and each one was more beautiful than the last. I honestly could have spent a full day at just about any single spot we visited. Enoshima was a highlight I didn’t see coming. The caves there were genuinely one of the coolest things I’ve seen on this entire trip. Hard to put into words but you just have to experience it for yourself. A huge part of what made this day so great was our tour guide Eric. He was absolutely wonderful. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely fun to be around the whole day. He made sure everyone understood the history and significance of each place without it ever feeling like a lecture, and his energy kept the group going even after a long day of walking. The kind of guide that takes a great tour and makes it a memorable experience. If you’re visiting Tokyo and on the fence about this day trip, stop debating and just book it. 10 out of 10.
