Starting from your hotel at 9:00 we will in 1 hour time arrive at Kamakura where there are historical temples, shrines and a great Buddha statue surrounded by evergreen hills and a long crescent sand beach. From Enoshima Island on the shore you may probably see Mt. Fuji. As the seaside town Kamakura is famous for its fresh seafood cuisines.

By Japan Railway you can go to Kamakura from Tokyo or Shijuku Sta. within one hour without changing trains. Kamakura itself is rather a small seaside town, but it is very popular as the place where the first shogunate (Kamakura Era) was located from 1192 for 1333. During such 150 years, unlike in Kyoto, they created their own cultures especially relating with Zen Buddhism. Every tour spot is within walking distance to the next. And if you are strong enough you can drop by Yokohama on the way back to Tokyo.

Since every road in Kamakura is very crowded throughout a year, a tour using a van or a coach is not so convenient.
I wanted to take a moment to share how impressed I was with the Mr Yasuro C., who assisted my daughter during her recent trip to Tokyo. From the very beginning, he made her feel at ease by meeting her at the airport and helping her navigate the subway system. His support didn’t stop there—he took the time to show her around and ensured she found her hotel without any issues. His friendliness, professionalism, and knowledge of the city made a huge difference in her experience. She felt safe, supported, and truly valued throughout her journey. I can’t thank him enough for his exceptional service. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and caring guide in Tokyo, I highly recommend him!
Dear Cheski Baum, Thank you very much for your generous review on my guide service for your beloved daughter. I found she was very brave, clever and curious when I heard that she went to Ramen noodle shop nearby her hotel for the first night dinner, and, to my surprise, early in the next morning, she went to the Sengakuji Temple famous for the loyal 47 Samurais who dedicated their lives for their lord in the biggening of 18th century. We went around East side of Tokyo City, where there are many historical and traditional places like Imperial Palace Garden, Asakusa, etc. I suppose she can visit, by herself now, West Side of Tokyo City where there are more attractive places for young people as she already knows how to take trains and subways in Tokyo. Thank you again. Best regards, Yasuro
The guidance day with Yasuro was a must-do. It was a very smooth landing in this busy (and beautiful) Tokyo. Yasuro knows every corner of the city and was incredibly patient, adjusting to every request or need.
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Sivan, Thank you very much for the generous review for me. It was happy time for me to talk with you while taking lunch and walking thru streets and parks in Tokyo. And I learned a lot about the cultures of your country. As Kyoto is hotter than Tokyo, please take care of yourselves, and enjoy Onsen, hot spring, in Hakone. Thank you again. Best regards, Yasuro
Yasuro made navigating all the transportation options easy. He's a very knowledgeable guide from where the best places to sit are to how to be respectful at the shrine. We felt lucky that we found him.
Dear Steven S., Thank you very much for the generous review for me. It was a joyful time for me to talk with you about many topics during the tour. How did you find Onsen (a hot spring) of your hotel? I hope you really enjoyed Onsen and good Sushi without shellfish, of course. As it is still very hot in Tokyo this week, please take care of yourselves and have good memories of Japan. Thank you again. Best regards, Yasuro
Unfortunately it rained the day of our tour but Yasuro made it enjoyable and was very friendly and knowledgeable
Dear Steven K., Thank you very much for your kind review on me. But I’m sorry that I could not lead you to the hotel entrance at the end of the tour. How was Hakone today? I do hope you have succsessfully seen Mt. Fuji from Lake Ashi. Please take care of your selves as you are supposed to visit Kyoto and Osaka from tomorrow. Have a good day! Best regards, Yasuro
