“Two days in Tokyo and Kamakura ”
We spent two days with Yasuro exploring Kamakura and Tokyo. On both days, Yasuro went above and beyond to give a joyful experience. On our day in Kamakura he ended up going significantly over the alloted time to ensure we saw the key sites on our tour (because of delays caused by the public holiday crowds) and on our Tokyo day he combined taxi and train rides to ensure minimum time walking and maximum time site-seeing. We enjoyed our time with Yasuro. (Review duplicated across both days)

Just let me know your preferences. I can make a good combination of old and modern, major and local. Tokyo has a lot more to experience besides the list.
