Kamakura is a very popular tourist destination and has a lot of beautiful places such as Buddhist temples with gardens, and Shinto shrines.

We’ll visit some of the most popular spots in Kamakura, such as Hokoku-ji temple (with a bamboo garden), Hase-dera temple (one of the oldest temples in Kamakura), and Kotoku-in temple which is well known for the Great Buddha. I hope you have a lovely day in Kamakura!

About Tour Guide Yoko I.
Hello, I'm Yoko. I was born and brought up in Ashikaga, Tochigi prefecture (80 km north from Tokyo) and I've lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years.
I love traveling, both overseas and inside Japan. After I visited other countries and saw many local cultures there, I realized that Japan has a variety of unique cultures with a lot of tourist attractions.
I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

“Customized tour with Yoko-San”
Sorry for the late entry, but my aunt Maggie and I had a wonderful time with Yoko-san guiding us through Senso-ji and Asakusa area. Then we had a very lovely lunch at Mochizuki, over at the Asahi Group Headquarter Building. From the restaurant we had a view of the Sumida River and Tokyo Skytree. Afterwards, Yoko-san got us to where we needed to be next, on the way we were able to see cherry blossoms which was great! So happy to connect with Yoko-san again for a tour, it was perfect for my aunt’s very first visit to Tokyo (too bad the weather wasn’t ideal). Thank you so much for everything, hope to see you again next time.

Thank you so much for taking your time to post such a lovely review and the photo, Elaine-san! Unfortunately we had rain on the day and it was not a perfect day to enjoy viewing cherry blossoms, I was glad that we enjoyed beautiful cherry blossoms. I had a lovely time with you and Maggie-san. Talking with both of you was interesting. I admire you because you're such a sweet niece. Thank you so much for having me as your guide again. I'm grateful for your kindness and thoughtfulness. I hope I could see you again when you come to Tokyo. Please take care!

Thank you so much for posting such a wonderful review, Jay! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour. I was wondering if I was able to answer all the questions from you, but some of the questions were really interesting and profound, which impressed me a lot. I had a lovely time with all of you. I hope you enjoyed your journey in Japan. Thank you for having me as your guide. Please take care.

“Enjoyable Tour”
This is our 2nd time we booked a tour with Yoko. We had booked a couple of tours back in 2018 and enjoyed them very much and wanted to book Yoko again. The morning of the tour we had unexpected snow, but Yoko made some minor changes to our original plans, and it worked out wonderfully. We very much enjoyed Yoko's company, and she is always so friendly, patient and accommodating to our requests. Thanks so much Yoko for a lovely time!

Thank you so much for posting such a fabulous review, Bev! I'm so delighted that you have booked my tour again. Unfortunately the weather was not good on the day, but I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the day with me. I also had a lovely time with you. I've been to Asakusa many times, but some shops were new to me and that was really fun. Talking with you and your sister was fun and interesting. Thank you so much again for having me as your guide. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Tokyo. Please take care!
