The best way to spend the day in Kamakura!

Elizabeth_C, Sep 2026

Taki is a FANTASTIC guide- I had such a lovely morning exploring Kamakura and learning about its incredible history. Taki is extremely knowledgable, and covered quite a bit of ground in the 3 hour tour while not making it feel rushed. I highly recommend this tour, and have already recommended it to two separate groups I met later in the week!

Response from Host, Oct 2026

I am sorry for my late reply. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a wonderful review. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring Kamakura. I really enjoyed spending the day with you, too! I also truly appreciate you recommending our tours to your friends! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip Japan! Have a great day! Best regards, Taki
