Kamakura Private Tour Guides

“Fun, full day tour with a true professional”

We spent a full day with Tomoko exploring Kamakura and Enoshima as a daytrip from Tokyo. Tomoko knows this area extremely well so she had everything planned out and adapted logistics as the day unfolded. She provided just the right amount and type of commentary on places visited and brought us to a very traditional soba&tempura restaurant for lunch. She is a natural conversationalist and will feel like a friend by end of the day. Her pre-tour communications are extensive as well. We had a great time with Tomoko and saw everything imagined and then some. We recommend Tomoko 100%, 10 out of 10, a top notch tour guide.

Thank you for the wonderful review. The Kamakura tour with you and your family was so much fun. Even with jet lag, everyone walked so well! The beautiful bamboo temple, Hachimangu Shrine, lunch and shopping, the Great Buddha and Hase-dera Temple, and then the caves carved by the waves on the back side of Enoshima (where the dragon lives!)—I’d secretly worried we might not make it that far. Since you told me your family’s specific requests and preferences in advance, it made planning much easier. I appreciate your cooperation. Thank you, Joshi, Amy, Caroline, and Adelaide!

“Kamakura with Kind Kaneo was a great day!”

We very much enjoyed our time with Kaneo and had a wonderful tour of Kamakura and Enoshima with him. Kaneo planned a day that was smoothly paced and we got to see many highlights of places that he knew well. We learned more about the history and culture and had a fun lunch with him. And we got him to sing our family's theme song in the bamboo forest! We had to change the date of our tour just a week before and he was gracious and flexible and went out of his way to make it work for us. We highly recommend him if you are looking for a tour guide near Kamakura/Tokyo.

Thank you for your good and kind review. It was a good memory that I sang “Country Road” with your husband in a bamboo forest.

“Kamakura visit”

Yacco gave us the most wonderful and memorable experience in Kamakura. We loved her patience and warmth, and she gave us a wonderful day that we will never forget. We would 100% choose to spend time with Yacco again and hopefully that opportunity will be there in the future
