Starting from your hotel at 9:00 we will in 1 hour time arrive at Kamakura where there are historical temples, shrines and a great Buddha statue surrounded by evergreen hills and a long crescent sand beach. From Enoshima Island on the shore you may probably see Mt. Fuji. As the seaside town Kamakura is famous for its fresh seafood cuisines.

“A very busy trip to Hakone ”
Thank you to Yasuro for a wonderful day. He went out of his way to find the best route for our Hakone day trip as it was a Sunday, a holiday weekend and extremely busy with long queues. He was very helpful and caring at all times. A big thank you from us.

6 Hour-Tour in Tokyo City-West Side around Shinjuku,Shibuya
“Above and Beyond 6 stars”
Yasuro was a pleasure to deal with from the onset with excellent communication skills. He was reliable and my son and his grandad really enjoyed his company. Yasuro was so flexible to step in when grandad wasn't well enough to sight see and I trusted him to take my 11 year old son around Tokyo. He had the best day with Yusaro who not only showed him the sights but tailored the trip for a child. He was generous with his time and completely trustworthy. Thank you Yusaro. May we meet again.

(84 reviews)Dear Cara Levin, Thank you very much for your generous review for me. I do hope that they came back to Sidney without any problem as Mr Morris had looked very weary in contrast with Eli. Eli and I visited the observatory at the top floor of Tokyo City Hall, the building with Godzilla Head in Shinjuku, Meiji Jingu Shrine, where he bought some lucky charms for his family, and adjacent Japanese garden, then to Hachi Dog Statue and Scramble Crossing in Shibuya where he bought his favourite Nike shoes. Eli is, though his age of 11 years old, self-controlled and very respectful to the elderlies; I’ve never ever seen such a good boy. Please send my regards to them and I do hope Mr Morris will recover from his exhaustion soon. Thank you again. With best wishes, Yasuro
