Thank you for such a great tour. It was a great chance to explore places we wouldn’t ordinarily see along with knowing all of the logistics would be taken care of. Tourists can explore the locations with freedom to roam, explore and to look at the things that most interest them. I would recommend this to anyone and especially solo travellers. Thank you again!
Enjoyed a beautiful day in Kamakura. Visited the Inari Jinja shrine, a hike thru a woodsy area with amazing views of Yuigahama Beach, the Great Buddha, and Hasedera Temple. Enjoyed a Japanese style lunch at Hasedera Temple and street food on Komanchi street. Tour guide is a great guide. Very knowledgeable, with a great personality. The other party cancelled, so this became a private tour for us. A great start to our time in Japan! Would highly recommend this tour.
Great friendly safe driver! Knowledgeble about local attractions amd alternatives! Great english! Had free water bottles and lent an umbrella.
Seeing the great Budha & experiencing the local culture. We enjoyed the view from the restaurant at the shrine as well seeing beach & sailboats.
Captivated by the beauty of Enoshima! Our tourguides were caring and attentive. I had such a great time and the amount of time they gave us to explore on our own was great and appreciated. Highly recommend if you want to step away from the city life. This tour allowed me to take in different scenery and breathe in fresh air. Thank you ladies!
The amount. of sights we have seen this is far the best value for money. The bus was clean and comfortable. Our driver was a very safe driver and our guide spoke easy to understand English plus the sights were amazing.
A really good tour! You see a lot and get lots of free time. Our guide was wonderful she took photos for everyone. Highly reccomend. Kamakura and Enoshima are beautiful. It's well worth your time and money.
导游很专业细致，还会再订购贵司产品。
Great one day trip to get away from busy Tokyo! Especially if you don’t have enough time to travel to Kyoto during your visit.
The tour was really great, we had an amazing day. Try different food, walk to different temples and shrines and even took a local train
We came in from Tokyo for the day to see Kamakura and loved it. Fuji did a great job showing us the town and temples / shrines. The hike was a lot of fun too. We really enjoyed our time with Ken and recommend the tour.
