The Great Buddha and so much more - A full day of activity, with visits to beautiful shrines, a vigorous 45-minute hike along a hillside path, the Great Buddha, lunch overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and meander through the food market. Our guide Ramesh did a great job explaining cultural and historical aspects. A wonderful day!

Kamakura making me crazy. - This was a wonderful tour, combining the natural beauty surrounding Kamakura with the many impressive historical temples and shrines. Our guide, Ramesh, was friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone had a great time. This tour is quite a ways away from Tokyo, so allow yourself plenty of travel time.

Educational day in Kamakura - We asked Tosi-san a million questions and he patiently answered them all. We thought the tour was great - it was a lot of walking but a normal day of touring for us in Japan. Excellent lunch and good snacks along the way. A really fun day!

Touring with Nori - Nori was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the different shrines history and spiritual rituals. Lunch was delicious and the view spectacular. All in all we had a great time, made some new friends from England who were on the tour with us, learned a lot, and laughed even more!
