“Amazing Kamakura Tour!”

Had a fun time in Kamakura with Masa-san! He carefully planned our itinerary before the tour and presented different options based on our liking. He was friendly, welcoming and passionate about sharing Kamakura’s history. He is also an amazing photographer and captured awesome, professional quality shots throughout the tour. Highly recommend booking his tour if you are visiting Kamakura for a seamless experience and beautiful memories to take home

“Amazing tour with Yacco ”

We had the best time with Yacco in Kamakura. She is so thoughtful and caring and put together the best itinerary for our family and arranged all the reservations needed ahead of time. It is obvious she loves having visitors and tailoring a program for their needs and desires. She taught us so much about Kamakura, history in Japan, and also about Japanese culture, religion, and tea ceremonies. This was definitely a highlight of our time in Japan and we HIGHLY recommend Yacco to others wanting to get the most from a trip to Kamakura!

Thank you very much for your heartwarming review, Steven-san! Although our original tour had to be canceled because of the typhoon, I was truly delighted that you booked with me again. It was a great pleasure to show my beloved Kamakura to your wonderful family, including your impressive sons. Being able to share the beauty of Kamakura during the hydrangea season with you all made it a very special and memorable day for me as well. Thank you for your curiosity and kindness throughout the day. I enjoyed every moment we spent together. I wish you and your family all the best. Domo arigatou gozaimashita! Yacco

“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!
