What To Expect
Kotoku-in - Great Buddha of Kamakura
Visit one of Japan’s most iconic landmarks — the Great Buddha of Kamakura, a monumental bronze statue standing over 13 meters tall. Dating back to the 13th century, this serene Buddha has withstood earthquakes and tsunamis for centuries, symbolizing resilience and peace. Enjoy time to explore the temple grounds, take memorable photos, and (optionally) step inside the statue to learn about its fascinating construction.
Hokoku-ji Temple
Discover the tranquil beauty of Hokoku-ji Temple, famous for its enchanting bamboo grove of over 2,000 bamboo stalks. This lesser-known Zen temple offers a peaceful escape from the crowds, where sunlight filters through towering bamboo, creating a calm and meditative atmosphere. Enjoy a traditional matcha tea in the garden (optional) while appreciating the harmony of nature and Zen culture.

5.00We had an amazing experience on our tour with Naoki. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and smooth. He took us to incredible places that we would never have found on our own, and each stop felt special and well thought out. Naoki’s recommendations were excellent — whether it was scenic spots, local highlights, or places to eat, everything exceeded our expectations. He also went above and beyond by taking fantastic photos of us together, which made the experience even more memorable. What really stood out was his professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail. He made us feel comfortable the entire time and ensured we got the most out of our day. We highly recommend Naoki to anyone looking for a great tour experience. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

5.00Mike was wonderful with impeccable English. He customized the tour to our needs and available time and dropped us off at Haneda Airport. He worked with us as our flight home was delayed so we got extra time with him and his great knowledge of Tokyo. Thanks again Mike for a wonderful tour

5.00Sekimoto, the entire day flowed perfectly from the moment you picked us up early. The rhythm was easy and unhurried, the car spotless and inviting, and every part of the itinerary stayed flexible—we could change plans on a whim with zero stress or rush. There was always plenty of time to stop for the best views, snap photos, and just breathe in the scenery. The whole experience felt genuine and laid-back, like wandering around with an old friend who knows every hidden corner of the place.
Amazing custom tour.

5.00We had no idea what to see, that was solved, we went to a retail area that was gridlock, but found him via WhatsApp. Spoke good English and took us to seated Buddha and wonderful bamboo gardens and tea house. Nothing but good things.
