The best tour of Kamakura

Published on Oct, 2024

We loved this tour! Our guide Kono-San was very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw all the places we wanted to see without feeling rushed. He helped us navigate the public transportation to/from Tokyo and within Kamakura. We had some extra-memorable experiences thanks to Kono-San that we would not have otherwise - conveyor belt sushi lunch, feeding the koi, and many more. And he took some very nice pictures of us at the sites. Thank you Kono-San!!
