Meeting Point
Tokyo station or your hotel 30 minutes walk to Tokyo station
- I will pick up you at Tokyo station or your hotel 30 minutes walk to Tokyo station.
Enkakuji-temple / arrive at the Kitakamakura station
We will start our journey in Kamakura from this station! And for the first spot where we visit is Enkakuji-temple. It is 5 minutes walk from the station. There are many attractions, such as the Engakuji Temple Shariden, a national treasure building, the Hongjong bell, also a national treasure, and many other cultural assets.
Jochiji-temple
In addition to the hydrangeas and the famous round window, there are many other attractions on the temple grounds. The dry landscape garden in front of the main hall, the bamboo grove, and the thatched-roof Kaisando-Do (temple hall) are also very atmospheric. There is also the tomb of Hojo Tokiyori, the “Tsurube no Ii,” one of the ten wells in Kamakura, and the “Meigetsuin Yagura,” one of the largest yagura (graves of medieval warriors and monks dug in a hole in a rock wall) in Kamakura.
Lunch at Kamakura
I will book any restaurants you want to eat so please send me the request about what kind of food you want to eat. I cannot guarantee your reservation, but I will do my best to accommodate your wishes.
Jyokoumeiji-temple
It is one of the largest old wooden buildings in Kamakura and is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. The gate is also the largest gate of a temple in Kamakura. Climbing the hill at the back of the temple, visitors can enjoy a spectacular view of the Zaimokuza coast, the Inamuragasaki area, and Mt. Fuji in the distance. The temple grounds, which can be viewed at a leisurely pace, are decorated with many cherry trees in bloom in the spring.
Tusruokahachimangu-temple
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine is said to offer various benefits such as “luck in victory, work, and success in life,” “easy childbirth,” and “marriage and good fortune. This is because there are several shrines enshrining various deities within the shrine's precincts. It is said to be a powerful power spot because if you visit all the shrines, you can obtain various blessings.
Komachi-street
It is a shopping street that starts right outside the East Exit of Kamakura Station and continues all the way to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. The small street is filled with the charm of Kamakura, and is lined with stores offering Japanese sweets such as green tea sweets and dango dumplings, seafood stores such as Shonan's specialty shirasu-don (whitebait rice bowl), and restaurants such as old private house cafes.

About Tour Guide Yoshie Y.
Hi, I’m Yoshie.
My hobby is traveling and I like to meet new people. Not only every part of Japan, I also traveled to many countries. Especially in Australia, I spent one year on a working holiday. I like to step into nature, and I also like to explore hidden gems in the town.
Japan has a long history of 2,000 years and has lived in a nature-oriented culture. As a local, I would like to share interesting Japanese culture with you. Join my tour, and let’s explore Japan's fascinating culture and beautiful sights together as a family!
I specialize in family-friendly tours, making sure that both parents and children have an enjoyable and memorable experience. As a mother, I know what kids love and enjoy in Japan. I want to show you and your family “Omotenashi”. This is Japanese hospitality. Be prepared for special little surprises for your children and yourselves. I want to show you the Japan that I know and love.

“GREAT GUIDE”
Yoshi responded quickly to all my questions. I asked her to meet us at our hotel and she was happy to accommodate. We travelled with Yoshi by train- she made it easy and I liked it better than a car since you are amongst locals. Yoshi was happy to find out we wanted and made up our tour accordingly. Her English was great and she is very knowledgeable. My daughter will be visiting Japan next year and I will tell her to use Yoshi as a guide for a great day.

(8 reviews)Hi, Larry! Thank you for writing a review for me. I am glad you enjoyed the tour. I had a lot of fun myself. Still remember two of your smiles on that day. And I am happy to guide your daughter, please let me know when she comes to Japan.
“Yoshi is the only guide you need”
We asked Yoshi for a custom tour, we wanted a tailored experience to this Tokyo festival. It was an incredible experience, Yoshi was punctual, communicative even before the tour, able to answer all of our questions (and they were a lot) and absolutely caring. My parents were not so fast, and there was a lot of people gathering at the festival, bit still Yoshi made the experience absolutely stunning. She visited the festival the day before just to make sure to be prepared with the food stall positioning and with the routes, and studied the history and the roots of this historical gathering. She knew where the stalls with the best food where, and she spoke with the security to be sure we had the best place to view the lanterns. If I've to suggest a guide for Tokyo, Yoshi is absolutely the one. Prepared, kind, efficient and effective.
