Traveler reviews
Our tour guide, Ken, was...
Our tour guide, Ken, was so knowledgeable of the area and its history. He made our experience so enjoyable. I highly recommend him for this tour.
Kamakura in the Summer
Our tour guide was Ken. He took my son and I to a personalized tour of Kamakura. It was an amazing experience that I highly recommend.
Kamakura Walking Tour
It was a very nice experience even it was very hot. Our guide Mark was very kind and patient. He explained everything in detail and gave us also some insight into Japan in general.
Worth it for the history.
Ken was very knowledgeable and gave good context and history on each of the individual shrines we visited. He also explained the differences in the shrines versus the Buddhist temples... in this case the Kotoku-in ( great buddha ) temple in the center of Kamakura. He also treated us to some Japanese snacks, including Macha soft serve and various snacks including dongo ( skewered mochi with sweet teriyaki ).
More incredible history...
