My name is Peter, a passionate writer, keen photographer, and experienced tour guide, originally hailing from the UK, but now a proud resident of Kamakura, Japan for almost three decades. I have four published books to my credit, two of which - Matsuri Call of The Gods and Kamakura Mon Amour, discuss Japan and are accessible online. I am more than eager to guide you through this ancient city that served as Japan’s unofficial capital between 1185 and 1333, where the military shogunate was born, samurai culture bloomed, and Zen Buddhism gained popularity. Our expedition includes the exploration of the temples and shrines as I narrate the evolution and traditions of the Kamakura period along with a discourse on assorted facets of Japanese life - both ancient and present. To make your trip memorable, I will also take your photographs during the tour, which will last around 4 hours. The time of commencement can be opted for in the booking form. If Japan’s on your travel list, Kamakura should not be missed. There’s much to learn and admire in this charming, historical city!
