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.

“Kamakura, a un ora da Tokyo”

Ci incontriamo ancora con Junko nella lobby del nostro albergo, come sempre puntualissima. Oggi tramite il metrò e poi il treno ci rechiamo a Kamakura. Il programma per la giornata che Junko ci ha preparato è molto fitto ma come le altre volte riusciamo a fare tutto con delle parti non previste. Junko parla un buon l'italiano, conosce molto bene la storia Giapponese e ci porta alla scoperta di posti meravigliosi. Questo non è il primo tour che facciamo con lei, quindi la conosciamo bene e lei conosce noi e per pranzo ci prepara una sorpresa in un ristorante particolare che lei aveva già riservato per noi. Nei precedenti tour avevamo espresso un desiderio per un pranzo particolare e lei per questa giornata ha saputo accontentarci. Kamakura una città stupenda con dei luoghi pieni di interesse che Junko ci ha fatto visitare dandoci dei ragguagli sulla sua storia e rispondendo in modo competente alle nostre domande. Junko ha saputo organizzare la giornata in modo professionale e competente, in ogni momento controllava che non ci perdessimo nella folla quando percorrevamo le viuzze pedonali e trovava sempre il momento giusto per istruirci sulla storia dei luoghi che visitavamo. Grazie Junko per aver reso indimenticabile la nostra giornata a Kamakura.

Grazie per la splendida recensione. È stato un onore portarvi nel mio posto preferito, Kamakura. Kamakura è una città affascinante con molta storia, tra cui molti santuari e templi, e una natura ricca come il mare e le montagne. Nei vicoli dove passano gli abitanti del luogo, le piante e i fiori sono ben curati e sono felice di aver potuto far conoscere ai giapponesi le quattro stagioni e il loro modo di vivere. Junko
