Exciting Kamakura - One Day Tour from Tokyo
Joined 2017
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.

“Tokyo City tour”
Hideaki San is a meticulous, flexible and very knowledgeable tour guide. We covered most of the important monuments in Tokyo within a day. Tokyo is delightful, mesmerizing, and a clean city. People are unassuming and very respectful and well dressed, and one can get a taste of Japanese culture in Tokyo.

Exciting Mt. Fuji - One Day Tour from Tokyo
“Mt. Fuji Tour”
The tour started with a 90 minute highway bus to get to the Mt. Fuji area. Hideaki had reserved the bus and the seats in advance. We first went to Arakurayama Sengen Park. This is a wonderful Mt. Fuji viewing spot. We were able to take family pictures of Mt. Fuji with a five-story pagoda. To get to this point we had to walk up 398 stairs. One of the members of our family got a bit tired/overheated along the way to the top and Hideaki stayed with him until he got to the top. The delay caused us to miss our scheduled train time to get to Lake Kawaguchi, where we were supposed to have lunch. This is where Hideaki really shined. We have severe food allergies/issues in our family and where we were, there were only two "restaurants". He spoke to the chef/owner of one of the restaurants about what the allergies were and they created a meal that was free of any of his allergens. It was one of the best meals we had all trip! We then took a train and went on a cruise on Lake Kawaguchi. After that we visited Oshino Hakkai where we had some more treats and purchased souvenirs, Of note, we purchased two HUGE Fuji Apples. Because, how could you not buy Fuji apples AT Mt. Fuji?!?! We also bought two peaches - which were probably the best peaches we've ever had! The highway bus took us back to the Bus Station, where our trip began. Hideaki was absolutely wonderful. Thoughtful, Knowledgeable and Flexible. Would highly recommend Hideaki and any tour he leads - especially this Mt. Fuji Tour!
