Hi Ben, Thank you for taking the time to write a second review. If you have an iPhone, using Welcome Suica is also a very convenient option — just be careful not to run out of battery! Kamakura is one of my favorite day-trip destinations from Tokyo. It has the atmosphere of an old capital, but also a beautiful beach area, which makes it quite different from central Tokyo. The matcha experience may have been literally a bitter one, but I hope you will also have a chance to try other types of Japanese tea (Ryokucha, Houjicha, Genmaicha). It was a pleasure spending another day with you and your family. Take care and stay healthy!

Hi Jason and everyone, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. Considering that it was your first full day in Japan, I was impressed by how much ground your group covered. Thanks to your enthusiasm, we were able to visit not only Senso-ji Temple, Meiji Shrine, and Shibuya Crossing, but also explore places such as Kappabashi and Ura-Harajuku. It was MY pleasure to be part of a trip that had been a long-time dream for you. Thank you as well for your kind wishes regarding the World Cup. Your trip is only just beginning, and I hope the days ahead are as memorable as your first full day in Tokyo. All the best!

Hi Ben and everyone, Thank you very much for your kind review and for spending two days with me. Our first day was a little hectic because of the typhoon, but delaying the start worked out well, and I’m glad Sofia was able to find a new pair of sneakers. The day trip to Kamakura was also a nice contrast. In addition to the temples and shrines, I was delighted to show you the Pacific Ocean. I hope the rest of your journey is going well. And while Kobe beef is famous, please also enjoy other regional specialties such as Omi beef and Yamato beef. All the best!
