Amazing tour about japanese history and culture with Maki! - We had an amazing tour filled with japanese history, religion and culture with our guide Maki today. She was an amazing guide, always positive and very knowledgeable. We could ask any question imaginable and time was flying whilenl chatting with her. She took more time than was originally planned and even brought small gifts. The tour is fairly new and we had a private tour as we were the only ones. We got to Kamakura via train very easy. I highly recommend to do this tour if you want to learn about Japan's history and customs!

Great Kamakura Visit with Tatsuko - Very nice tour guide who spoke excellent English. The group ended up being a private tour as it was just our family. We got to move at our own pace. Guide gave us great history about city and got to witness a traditional wedding at the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. I would highly recommend using.

Great Historical Tour - Our tour guide was amazing. She had lots of interesting facts and details about the history of the area that made the tour so much more valuable than if we walked around on our own.

Quick tour of Kamakura. - The tour was exactly what we had hoped for. Tatsujo was very knowledgeable. Recommend stopping at the Kita-Kamakura Station (1 hop) on the way back to Yokohama. There are more amazing shrines and much less people.
