The tour was wonderful! Teiko was great and very knowledgeable about all in Kamakura. Highly recommended! Thanks Teiko! John

My sister in law and myself had a great day with our guide Teiko, she accommodated us with the walking speed and the need for lifts when they were available. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and culture with us and answering our questions.

I booked this tour for my group of 7. We wanted to take some time away from the city and see the historic sights around Kamakura. Yu was such a wonderful guide, and truly a big part of what made this experience special. She was patient with our large group, and really had some excellent information on the local culture and history of Kamakura. She also found an excellent local seafood restaurant for our lunch break. It was nice that she was able to take photos of our whole group at each of the sights. We really enjoyed our time with Yu, and I would highly recommend this experience!

This tour was a once in a lifetime experience. Noriko was a fantastic tour guide. We felt taken care of at every moment, and learned so much about Kamakura and its history. I would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Japan!

Such a great tour !! The view, the walk , the temples ! Everything. Teiko , our guide , ese lovely and such a Good guide !! Thank u so much !!!! 🖤🇯🇵🎎🏯

Yumi was an excellent guide and we had a fantastic experience despite relatively constant rain. The temples and shrines are beautiful and it was great to learn more about them as well as Japanese history and culture. Thank you to Yumi for a lovely day!

Excellent Tour. We washed our money and saw both the inside and outside of Great Buddha. Our guide was very informative. This tour is a lot of walking uphill. My daughter had a banged up knee and we had to take Taxi and missed the hike which while uphill and long appeared to be very beautiful and peaceful. I am sorry to have missed it. However, our guide accommodated us admirably and we were still able to make it to the main sites. A big thank you to her for being so wonderful. I will update once I remember her name.

We had a fantastic tour with Yumi! She was a stellar guide and made our tour experience fantastic. It was so helpful to have her share more cultural and historical significance to the sights we were seeing. We were in Tokyo for a week, and it was nice to leave the hustle and bustle of the city for a day. Additionally, my dad is blind, and she was very patient on the hike, and describing things for my dad and answering his questions. Can’t recommend this tour, or Yumi enough.

We had a wonderful time with our guide, Teiko, on this tour! We saw beautiful shrines and temples and Teiko provided us with background information on these spots that we otherwise would not have known. I would recommend!

Noriko the best!! She is a well prepared guide, my family enjoy the hiking walk and knowing the Kamakura Área the best way possible. Very recommended specially with Noriko.

We had a really lovely day exploring the shrines and temples of Kamakura with Yumi. The area was beautiful and charming, especially compared to the other bigger cities we visited. Yumi was so friendly and knowledgeable and helped us to enjoy the rituals at each temple. Our day with her was among our favorites during our visit to Japan.

Noriko was FANTASTIC!!!! We arrived in Kamakura without having had our morning coffee; she was quick to adjust our trip to include a delicious coffee at Verve...and the day just kept getting better. The temples and shrines in Kamakura are so beautiful. The hike up the mountain trail was unexpected and soooooo much fun. The Great Buddha was beautiful. Seeing the Pacific Ocean from this side of the planet was fun (watched some surfers hitting the waves, as well). Noriko had so many interesting facts about all the stops and of Japan, in general. She kept the tour moving along and kept it interesting the whole time. We enjoyed our time with her very much and Kamakura was the highlight of our trip to Japan!

We were a group of three and we took a day trip from Tokyo to Kamakura. Our wonderful tour guide (and new friend) Yumi, was so amazing! She’s incredibly sweet, knowledgeable and has such a kind spirit. My son is on the autism spectrum and I informed her ahead of time that he may need frequent breaks if he gets overwhelmed. She was so understanding and went out of her way to help accommodate him and he really took a liking to her. We loved the temples, the beach, the shops, the train, the food, the people, the Great Buddha and more! We’re already talking about planning our next visit! We’d love to have her as a guide again and recommend her to everyone we know!

We had an enjoyable tour of Kamakura with our fantastic guide Teiko. Although we had a rainy day, we were able to get around by bus and on foot to see all the shrines and temples without any problems. Teiko was great at explaining the history and significance of each location and even taught us a little about Buddhism and Shintoism.

We had the pleasure of experiencing the fascinating shrines and temples of Kamakura with our wonderful guide, Noriko. From start to finish, Noriko's enthusiasm and knowledge made this 5-hour walking tour an unforgettable adventure. Noriko went above and beyond to ensure that we had a rich and authentic experience. She took us to historical sites like Tokei-ji Temple, Jochi-ji Temple, and Genji-yama Park, where she provided us with deep insights into the foundations of Buddhism and Shintoism. Her ability to share her own experiences and draw intriguing comparisons between our cultures added an extra layer of appreciation for the places we visited. The lunch stop she recommended, featuring rise and beef curry, was a delightful culinary experience and comes highly recommended. Throughout the tour, Noriko's passion for the history of Kamakura, as well as the Shrines and Temples we explored, shone brightly. Her explanations were engaging, informative, and provided a deeper understanding of the area's cultural significance. Noriko's guidance and storytelling made every moment of the tour enjoyable and educational. Both my husband and I felt like we not only gained a wealth of knowledge about Japan's history and religious traditions but also made a new friend in Noriko. Her warm and friendly personality added a personal touch to the entire experience. In summary, I can't recommend this tour with Noriko enough. If you're interested in delving into Japan's rich history, exploring iconic sites, and venturing off the beaten path to discover hidden treasures, this tour is a must. Noriko's expertise and genuine passion for sharing her culture with visitors made this tour a truly memorable and enriching experience. Thank you, Noriko, for making our Kamakura journey so special!

This was a wonderful tour with our guide Yu! Yu shared with us the practices in Japan and helped us understand the difference between Buddhist and Shinto religions. She shared the history and culture of Japan which we really enjoyed. We visited several sites, including the Jochiji Temple, Hase-dera Temple and enjoyed a green tea break amongst the bamboo forest. The Kotoku-in Buddha was amazing! I would highly recommend this tour! Thank you Yu!

Noriko is an awesome tour guide! She definitely wanted to know us and share her experiences with us and how different our cultures are but also how similar! We used side streets and paths to help avoid the highly touristed areas thanks to her. The lunch we had of Chicken Karaage that she took us to was very good and highly recommended! Both my dad and I feel we made a new friend! The tour itself I highly recommend! My dad and I learned a lot about Japan’s history and saw a few famous sites for Shinto and Buddhism in Japan and the Kamakura area. We also saw a few more sites that were off the beaten path that were just as enjoyable!

Our guide Noriko did a wonderful job , taking us around, explaining the history of Kamakura, the Shrines and Temples we visited. We enjoyed it very much!

This excellent service from our guide Teiko Haga started before the tour even began. She texted us excellent directions that got us to the site exactly on time. The weather was uncertain that day and Teiko was able to adjust our itinerary to account for it. She took us to amazing temples and shared history and details we wouldn’t have known otherwise. She also took us to a restaurant for one of the best meals of our entire trip! We will always remember our visit to Kamakura and alway remember our new friend Teiko who introduced it to us. Thank you!

Fair warning there is a lot of walking, including over a mountain, however it was amazing. Teiko was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The sights seen were ones that I never would have found if I hadn't gone with her. This included small temples and shrines and the scenery in that area.
