We'll start our journey by strolling along the tranquil paths of Kamakura, heading to a shrine renowned for its numerous torii gates and fox statues. Our local guide will delve into cultural insights, explaining the connection between shrines and foxes, Shinto philosophy, and the art of shrine worship.
Next, we'll explore a temple nestled within a cave, where you'll discover a fascinating tradition of cleansing money at the temple.
Following our exploration of local shrines and temples, we'll embark on a 30 to 40-minute hiking adventure through the enchanting forest, immersing ourselves in the unique terrain and the beauty of nature. This journey will lead us to the awe-inspiring Great Buddha of Kamakura, an iconic monument with an 800-year history.
To conclude our adventure, we'll guide you to a restaurant operated by the temple and try Kamakura's local dishes like Udon, vegetable curry.

This tour was amazing Fujii met us at the train station and from there we went. Fuji was super friendly, amazing English, and knowledgeable about the places we went to. It felt like I just went on a hike with friends in Kamakura. Would definitely recommend this tour hike, the trail can get a little steep so have some basic hiking experience.

Rookie took us to a few different shrines/temples off the beaten path. She shared her knowledge concerning the shrines and answered all of our questions, including questions concerning Japanese culture and etiquette. We had a great vegan lunch in a pleasant restaurant with a scenic view. It was a lovely day and Rookie modified the agenda to fit our needs, even helping me get Pokémon cards for my grandsons.

We came in from Tokyo for the day to see Kamakura and loved it. Ken did a great job showing us the town and temples / shrines. The hike was a lot of fun too. We really enjoyed our time with Ken and recommend the tour.
