- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The tour to Kamakura was charming — a true immersion in Japan’s history, spirituality and beauty. Each temple, street and landscape seemed to reveal a little bit of the Japanese soul. The guide made the experience even more special with his kindness, attention and deep knowledge of the place. Always smiling and patient, she was able to lead the walk with ease, answering every question and sharing fascinating curiosities. His sympathy turned the tour into something far beyond a tourist visit: it was a genuine encounter with the local culture, full of learning, serenity and unforgettable moments. A lovely experience!
