Itinerary

Feel free to personalize this offer with Takayasu.

10:00 AM

The approach from the bronze torii gate to the red gate

The approach is lined up with many souvenir shops and eateries.
The first Enoshima shrine

The escalator takes us to the first shrine. Only a minute ride but lots of fun.
It enshrines the younger Sea Goddess.
Visitors wash their hands at the dragon's water basin before worship.
View point

Enoshima Yacht Harbor is visible far down, the sailing venue of 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, although it was postponed by 1 year.
The second Enoshima shrine

The second shrine is dedicated to Elder Sea Goddess. The shrine was renovated in 1996.
Observation platform on top of the island

You'll have a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, the peninsula, the Hokone mountains. Mt. Fuji may be visible on a dry clear day.
Enoshima Iwaya Cave

High waves from the Pacific Ocean have eroded the cliff for nearly 80,000 years and made deep caves . We will adventure the caves.
It's really a fun. If caves are closed due to the bad weather or high waves for safety reason, I will visit the Enoshima Daishi Temple which is dedicated to a pair of God Fire and the Enoshima third shrine.

“ Day tour of kamakara ”

Takayasu was an excellent guide! His explanations were clear we, enjoyed the historical information he presented. He adjusted the day at our request, because of rain and our need to be at the airport for our return home. He made sure our bags were taken care of appropriately, walking us in to the counter . I would recommend him wholeheartedly !

Takayasu:

Hi Lorraine, Thank you very much for your great words appreciating my guiding. It is a geat honor for me to have such warm review on my Kamakura tour. It was raining hard in the morning but it became sprinkling by the time we arrived at a shrine and temples. Therefore,we could visit more spots than I ecpected. I am glad to know you liked my explanation. Both of you were so eager to listen to my historical presentation. There are lots more spots in this ancient city. So please come again and I am happy to guide you.

“ Highlight was seeing the wedding at the temple ”

Takayasu was full of information about the area. He knew exactly where to go in the quickest time and fitted in a tea ceremony for us. We ran out of time to complete the tour. We would recommend Takayasu and his tour to anyone

Takayasu:

Rosalie, thank you so much for your deep gratitude to me and my tour. I am happy to know that you enjoyed the wedding, tea ceremony and my talk, which is my utmost pleasure. I remember having Bento lunch to save our limited time. Please get in touch with me and set up another visit plan to Japan. Takayasu

“ Una muy buena elecci?n! ”

Solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento para el Sr, Takayama. Nos ayudo en nuestro primer dia en Tokio enseñándonos como viajar en los medios de transporte. Hicimos todo el recorrido contratado con muy buenas explicaciones y ajustándose a nuestro ritmo. Lo recomiendo si es q desean disfrutar del tour con una persona agradable, amable y divertida. Gracias Taka.

Takayasu:

Haydee y Bob, Mucho Gracious! Thank you very much for electing me as your guide. I am very happy that both of you were satisfied with my showing around the typical Tokyo and stories and legends. I want to guide a nice couple like you, Haydee and Bob again next time you visit Japan. Takayasu
