We had an excellent trip with Miyu as our guide in Kamakura. She made the whole experience fun and relaxing while showing us the city’s main attractions, including beautiful Shinto shrines, important Buddha temples, and the famous Great Buddha statue. Miyu shared fascinating history along the way and even introduced us to local treats like pigeon cookies and octopus crackers. What stood out most was how thoughtful and attentive she was—making sure we had plenty of rest breaks and opportunities to stay hydrated. Thanks to her, the day was both memorable and comfortable. Highly recommended!
Great guide of Kamakura

This tour was incredible. Everything about the tour - from riding the Enoden train, visiting the Great Buddah, and enjoying the beauty of the various shrines, temples and scenery - was just perfect. Our tour guide, Maki - was a gem. It was beautiful to see how much she loved her community and how she wanted to share it with others.
Miyu was fantastic. I...

Miyu was fantastic. I learned so much about Japanese culture and history. I wish I had taken this tour before visiting all the temples and shrines on my last trip
