5.00I had a wonderful experience on the Kamakura tour today. It was both interesting and enjoyable from start to finish. Our guide, Midori, explained everything in a very engaging and easy-to-follow way. She used illustrations, which made the stories even more vivid and helped bring the history to life. The information was well-structured, clear, and never overwhelming — just the perfect balance of depth and storytelling. Thank you so much, Midori, for such a memorable tour, and also for the lovely souvenirs — such a thoughtful and kind gesture! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kamakura.
Great experience with our guide Tashtie who gave us excellent information.

5.00Midori was a fantastic tour guide for our day trip to Kamakura with two teenage boys. We took a quick train from Tokyo and really enjoyed our time learning about Kamakura and exploring with Midori. She made it easy to just show up and enjoy the sights and taste delicious food after the tour. The tour was the perfect amount of time. Would highly recommend!
