Kamakura is called "Kyoto of Eastern Japan", because it used to be the capital of Japan from 12th to 14th century, and the first government by the Shogun, a top of samurai warriors, was located here.
Kamakura offers numerous temples, shrines and other historical monuments.
In this tour, we will visit three famous temples and one shrine.
Personally, I love Kamakura so much and strongly recommend this tour to you, because there are so many beautiful places here.

“Wonderful and efficient!”
I loved the tour around tokyo and wished I had more days to explore. My guide Hideaki , was knowledgeable, friendly and explained in detail the various attractions we visited. It was a very pleasant day and was lucky to get a view of the mount fuji from the observation deck. Loved the stroll along the quiet backstreets of tokyo. Absolutely loved the excellent display of various foods at a farmers market especially ,the sushi. I really enjoyed the tour and Thank you Hideaki for your company.

“Beautiful first glimpse of Tokyo”
Hideaki was very professional. He researched everything that we wanted to do and timed it like clockwork so we could be back for our flight on time without feeling hurried or like we missed out on anything. My son was very happy eating sushi in Tokyo and visiting the Nintendo store!

Exciting Mt. Fuji - One Day Tour from Tokyo
In this tour, we will visit two of the most popular Mt. Fuji viewing spots. My favorite part of this tour is when I take you to Arakurayama Sengen Park where we can have the most beautiful view of Mt. Fuji with five-story pagoda. I think this is the best place for Mt. Fuji viewing, but it is located in a little bit complicated place. So, I can take you here in the most efficient way.
