Incredible Must See Day Trip from Tokyo! - Beth and Naoto were excellent! They were friendly, communicative, and extremely well prepared to handle the small group. If you want to get outside Tokyo for the day and see a totally different side of Japan you should do this tour and ask for Beth and Naoto.

Amazing trip with Beth - My wife and I booked on this trip. Our guide was Beth and tagging along was Naoto and Jade (who were both training to guide at the Kamakura area), and we were also lucky as it was just the 2 of us for the day.. so we almost had a private tour with Beth in charge. The day started at Shinjuku and we took the train out to Kamakura. The sights visited included Hokoku-ji temple (with a lovely bamboo forest with matcha tea), Tsurugaoka Hachimangu (Shinto shrine), Kotoku-in (the giant Buddha) and Enoshima island. Lunch was simple (just eat whatever at Komachi Street. And the tour did say walking tour.. be prepared to do between 25,000 to 28,000 steps by the end of the tour. It was tiring, but superb. Naoto was fantastic in helping us to take photos, and Jade also shared her growing up years in Japan and India.. which made the trip all the more interesting.

Amazing day out - The tour way exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't have believed it was possible to fit so much into one day. Beth planned it so well , and was exceedingly knowledgeable with so many interesting and unusual historical facts thrown in at every step. She showed consideration for when stops were needed for a drink or food. At the end of the tour I returned to my hotel feeling as if I'd had a great insight into the real Japan. I wouldn't hesitate to book again. 5* plus plus!

The Best Japan Tour - Best tour ever - Beth was the consummate tour guide for this unique tour that combined the use of local transportation and walking to some of the most beautiful sites that Japan has to offer. The small group size allows for an intimate tour experience with an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. Recommend without reservations!

Super fun experience - Absolutely awesome trip, exceeded my expectations. Great choice for my first full day ever in Japan! I’m really glad I did this as a tour because I don’t know if I would have ever been able to figure out all of that transportation on my own. Either way, it was tons of fun and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The Highlight of my Trip to Japan - This is my 4th tour with this company and second with Beth in Tokyo just this year and hands down this is the best tour company I've come across in Japan. Period. The entire tour from start to finish was SO well planned and organized. Even though we visited a lot of places, nothing felt rushed. We visited and went inside the giant Buddha statue which feels like it's from a different planet. We had a magical matcha tea experience in the Bamboo forest. And towards sunset we were at the Enoshima observatory having the best view of Kamakura, Tokyo, and the mountains and islands around. Beth is such an exceptional guide with a lot of knowledge of the local traditions and specialities. She pointed out a lot of great local shops and food to try that suits everyone's taste or allergies. After the tour she gave us all amazing recommendations for places and restaurants to check out depending on where we were headed afterwards. Next time I'm in Tokyo, I already know what I'm doing. Book another tour with Snow Monkey Resorts. They never disappoint.
