5.00Our guide, Hiroyuki Iwai, was knowledgable, organized, and friendly. He helped us navigate the public transportation to Kamakura and took us to the Bamboo Temple, the Great Buddha, a Shinto Shrine in Kamakura and a Buddhist Temple in Hase. We had a delicious traditional Japanese lunch at midday in a restaurant he recommended. Plan on about 2 1/2 hours on public transportation. It’s a full day but well worth it.
wonderful tour of Kamakura

5.00Our private tour guide was wonderful, so knowledgeable , so pleasant and delightful. This was the best tour of our trip. Best way to immerse in a culture with a private guide and ride the subways and buses with the local population. Loved everything about it.
A special trip, maximum...

5.00A special trip, maximum relaxation!
A guide that made us feel the beauty of the places we visited.
Even if at first I thought I did not get the expected guide, we were wrong!
It is proof that age has no limits when you do something with pleasure!
I warmly recommend this tour and especially this guide.
Thank you, Kobata san
