Explore the Fascinating History and Culture of the Town of Kamakura With a Private Guide.
Kamakura is a seaside town located 50km southwest of Tokyo and a very popular destination for visitors to Tokyo. It takes just about one hour to get there from central Tokyo by train and is the perfect place for a day excursion to experience a contrasting change from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

“Best of all days in Tokyo thanks to Sachimi-san! ”
Sachimi-san is great company, and she went out of her way to create some unique experiences to fit with my particular interests: paper making and silk dyeing. Both sessions were conducted by experts who were generous, helpful and good fun to be with. I would never have had these enriching experiences without Sachimi-san's thoughtful guidance. She is an absolute gem!
