Great day in Kamakura

Julia_B, Apr 2026
This was an excellent tour. Our guide Yoshi met us at the train station and efficiently took us to see the giant Buddha, the Buddhist temple and the Shinto Shrine. He was very knowledgeable and shared stories from the Shogun era. He shared a lot of info with us. We would recommend this tour.

10/10 great experience

Yumi was amazing! Super nice and very knowledgeable. Beautiful area, highly recommend. Bamboo forest by shrine was way cool.

Great day, great guide

Harry San is a kind and interesting guide, who clearly prepared for our tour. And the sites in Kamakura are amazing. Great day!!

Response from Host, May 2023

My guests arrived punctually at JR Kamakura Station West Exit. How commendable Catherine-san is, as she bought at Hase Temple a "Driver's Safety Charm" (o-ma-mo-ri お守り) for her car-racer husband in Texas. Stephanie-san's Darwin life working 2 years must be of immense interest, as "Harry" is often reminiscing his decade years spent in Perth and Sydney. Handsome Great Buddha must have welcomed heartily my two amiable guests resembling "阿弥陀如来"<AMIDA-NYORAI>.
