Walking tour along an old Kamakura samurai road
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.

“Rainy day in Kamakura”
Unfortunately it rained hard all day during my tour but Masayoshi san was very helpful in keeping the tour smooth despite the weather condition. As a solo traveler I appreciate that he has his own professional camera which saves me the trouble of taking good photos. The tour has a lot walking but a lot was covered so it was worth it, it would have even been better with good weather.

“Small Group/Solo Traveler Customizable Private Value”
Yacco was wonderful. Very communicative and knowledgeable. She contacted us many times before the trip to get our preferences known. We were unfortunately running late the day of the tour but she took it in stride and got us off on a wonderful adventure. She definitely does her homework and had detailed files when we met to teach us as we went, including each and every one of the items I had mentioned in our previous messages. I was quite humbled by her preparation. And her gifts. We saw so much and enjoyed every minute of it thanks to her. Unfortunately my group enjoyed the market so much that we ended up not reaching Enoshima until just as the sun set. We enjoyed the lower levels but asked her please to not lead us up to the top. We were already filled with memories, stories, mementos, and snacks. We regret nothing, except being late.
Yacco M.
Dear Ben-san, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartwarming review! I am truly touched by your kind words. I loved tailoring the day to your interests and seeing how much your group enjoyed visiting places that mean so much to you—it was truly a precious experience for me, too. Although the weather was lovely that afternoon, it was a bit of a shame that Mt. Fuji was hidden behind clouds. However, I was so happy when you sent me that breathtaking photo of Mt. Fuji bathed in the beautiful morning light the next day! Thank you also for the lovely gift. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I hope to welcome you and your family back to Japan again in the future! Warm regards, Yacco
