*I highly recommend renting bicycles but the tour can also be done by walking/public transportation* We will start the tour at Kamakura Station where we will pick up our bicycles so we can easily move through Kamakura and visit many beautiful places within our time together. The temples and shrines I recommend are: Engaku-ji, Hokoku-ji, Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu, Kotoku-in, Hase-Dera, and Zeniarai Benten Shrine.

About Tour Guide Mark K.
I have been a fan of Japan since a very young age and decided to study International Business so I could experience living here for a year. I came back for more many times and decided I want to live here as long as I can. After spending 3-4 years in Tokyo it was only natural for me to share this wonderful place with other people!

Yokohama Highlights
Join me to Japan's second largest city, and one of the first ports to open for foreign trade in 1859. It is a mix of hyper modern, history, and foreign influences. We will start in Minatomirai (Harbor of the future) and make our way to Yokohama Cosmo World where you could enjoy one of the rides like the Ferris wheel. Then we will check out the Red Brick Warehouse, Osanbashi Pier, Chinatown, and Noge. Noge, is an old-fashioned riverside nightlife hub with bars, vintage izakaya, and jazz clubs.

Just over an hour from Tokyo, you can visit an ancient capital with a completely different history. Kamakura was a town that became the center of politics under Minamoto no Yoritomo in the 12th century. Kamakura is a town of samurai, and Zen was also loved by the samurai. Kamakura is also the city where Zen Buddhism was brought to Japan and widely spread. Why not walk me through Kamakura, a town nurtured by history and culture?
