Flowers in Kamakura: Great Buddha, Hasedera & Eishoji Temple

Highlights

Kamakura

Japanese (Native), English

8 hours

Private tour (only you and your group)

Up to 8 people

Kamakura is a very healing city, which became the capital of Samurai at the end of the 12th century, and has a lot of temples where we can see lovely flowers.

We will ride a train for approximately an hour or so from Tokyo/Yokohama/Kawasaki area to visit there.

Appreciating the flowers, some temples and shrines, we can also enjoy the beautiful twilight seaview.

Tour Important Information

The hydrangeas are beautiful during the rainy season, so I'm giving a SPECIAL DISCOUNT now.

We will walk a lot, so please wear walking shoes like sneakers.

(If you don't want to, please tell me the places you'd like to visit and I will arrange it that way.)

In some temples, you're supposed to take off your shoes when getting in the buildings to keep the places clean, so please be ready for that.

It is optional, but I wish you would have Matcha, Japanese tea, at Joumyoji where we can appreciate it while looking at a Zen garden or at Tsuruoka Hachimangu.

There is also a place that you can make your own Matcha if you would like.

Kamakura is extremely crowded, so sometimes you might not be able to have a seat on the buses or trains.

If you would like all the options, it might take an extra hour. I love you to see the most of Kamakura, so about the extra hour, I would only ask for the necessary transportation fare.

Important message from the guide

It will be first booked, first served basis, but could you make inquiries before booking?

If you're interested in TOKYO, MOUNT FUJI, or NIKKO, please CHECK the TOURS before you make inquiries.

(Some transportation for Mount Fuji or Nikko might be fully booked if you do last minute booking.)

I could also guide KYOTO, HIMEJI etc. if you will cover my transportation fare round trip from Tokyo.

If you'd like a car chartered, please check the PRIVATE CARS TOUR by yourself.

It's concerned with your budget, so I'm afraid I cannot make arrangements for that, but I will be happy to guide you with the car you chartered.

It's impossible to make quotes without knowing the spots you would like to visit.

Nikko and Mount Fuji are approximately two hours on Limited Express from Shinjuku or Asakusa.

Tokyo is not a compact city, but a huge one.

If you have difficulties with stairs, please tell me in your message. Thank you.

Free cancellation - 8 days prior to meeting time

“Knowledgeable and flexible ”

Yoko was very knowledgeable about everyplace we visited. She was also understanding of my slower walking pace. I knit and crochet and she helped me find some Made in Japan yarns I can't find in the USA. Thank-you for the history lessons and fun quizzes!

“Top guide in Tokyo ”

If you are visiting Tokyo you need Yoko. She is very knowledgeable about Tokyo. She customized a perfect day for our families first visit. She was able to make sure everyone in the group got to see or do something they wanted. Helpful every step of the way 10/10.

“Excellent tour and excellent guide. ”

Yoko was an amazing guide! She was lovely to spend the day with and the amount of knowledge she has about Japan is impressive. We would have never been able to see so much of Tokyo in 8 hours if it wasn’t for her. We also had an authentic Japanese lunch and managed to also attend a matcha tea ceremony. Thank you Yoko for a lovely day!

Thank you so much for the sweet day and an amazing review. I'm glad you'd like the washoku set meal and the tea ceremony. The restaurant I recommend at Tsukiji serves a very reasonable lunch with the best misoshiru I know so far so when you come back to Tokyo please give it a try. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan. Thank you again. It was so lovely meeting both of you!!
