Walking tour along an old Kamakura samurai road
Kamakura
5 hours
Kamakura was the seat of the Bakufu (feudal government) from the 12th century to the 14th century. Many samurai warriors as well as commoners came and went. Kamakura is surrounded by mountains and they would walk across them. Unfortunately, with urbanization, almost all roads are now paved and widened. But you still can walk on the hill side. You can walk an old road between Yokohama (Mutsura) and Kamakura. This road is actually the same as the one used in the 12th century.

“An enjoyable day with Yoshie!”
We really appreciated our guide Yoshie. She met us at the train station and guided us through Kamakura. We traveled with my older parents, and she was very patient and kind to them. She took us to a delicious restaurant that was celebrating 100 years in business, and had food my parents would eat. We visited many shrines and she explained the history behind everything. My favorite spot on the tour was the fox shrine. My Mom and Husband washed money, so hopefully we’ll become rich. ;) We enjoyed spending time with Yoshie.
Yoshie Y.
Jori, Thank you for writing reviews! It was a wonderful tour with your beautiful family, and I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed it. My favorite is Fox shrine, too! The moss-covered foxes and torii are showing their age, and one can feel the greatness of history and nature. I hope you will be rich! And please enjoy the last day at Disney!!

“Two days in Tokyo and Kamakura”
We spent two days with Yasuro exploring Kamakura and Tokyo. On both days, Yasuro went above and beyond to give a joyful experience. On our day in Kamakura he ended up going significantly over the alloted time to ensure we saw the key sites on our tour (because of delays caused by the public holiday crowds) and on our Tokyo day he combined taxi and train rides to ensure minimum time walking and maximum time site-seeing. We enjoyed our time with Yasuro. (Review duplicated across both days)
