Highly recommended tour from Tokyo! - Great one day trip to get away from busy Tokyo! Especially if you don’t have enough time to travel to Kyoto during your visit.

Very enjoyable and comfortable tour great tour guides, local people, monuments, country, food, drinks and shopping. - Proud, Magestic beautiful, spiritual and polite people, monuments and country. We really enjoyed and appreciated being guided, someone else driving and having a timeline and other tour patrons to chat with or not but also having our own space and some free time and a chance to try lots of different foods & drinks and shopping.

Mixed reaction to this tour - The tour agenda was fabulous! Unfortunately, it was a very rainy day, but the places we went were great. However, the time at the first temple was TOO short! We should have had a longer time there so we could eat lunch there. The time at the end at Enoshima was TOO long. There wasn't much to do after seeing the temple and the timing was not right for a meal, as it was too early. Finally, the tour guide was friendly, however, he really could have given us MUCH more information about where we were going, the history of the temples and the Buddha we saw. He left us completely alone on Enoshima, which was really mean. He could have given us the history of the temple by going up to it with us. I'm not sure what he did for those 3 hours! The rain was not fun, but I would have given this tour 5 starts IF the Tour Guide had been a better guide. He just seemed to see his role as accompanying us on the bus, give a brief overview of the place we'd see next and then disappear.

Good - Not the tours fault but it rained all day... heavily, being as this is an outdoor trip it was starting to become not so much fun by the afternoon of being wet. This trip wouldn't be suitable for children or teens as it's few sightseeing stops/shopping for adults. Was good to get out of Tokyo city and see some Greenery and more tradtional shops. Guide spoke good English and was fun.
