The essence of Kamakura - A half-day trip to another world
From Tokyo, only one hour train ride takes you to another world, Kamakura, an ancient capital of samurais.Their spirit of "Zen" still remains anywhere. The passage of time is quite different from the one of megapolis Tokyo. I think three spots express the essence of Kamakura, Great Buddha (Kotoku-in Temple), Bamboo Temple (Hokoku-ji Temple) and First Shogun's Shrine (Tsuru-ga-oka Hachiman Guu).
Promenade--from Tokyo Station to the Imperial Palace
Without any doubt, this is one of the most beautiful promenades in Japan, and also, especially historical road. At first sight, it doesn't look a lot of historical signs concealed. I'll tell you such secrets of this promenade taking a stroll on this road. There's no splendid palace like Versailles, but we can find remains of "Castle" in many places. That's the secret of this road because It's the scene of Japanese revolution, a dramatic and irreversible social change llike French revolution.
La promenade - de la gare de Tokyo au Palais Impérial
Sans aucun doute, c'est l'une des plus belles promenades du Japon, et aussi, en particulier la route historique. À première vue, elle ne semble pas caché beaucoup de signes historiques. Je vais vous dire de tels secrets de cette promenade se promenant. Il n'y a pas de splendide palais comme Versailles, mais nous pouvons trouver des restes de "château" dans de nombreux points. C'est le secret de cette route parce que c'est la scène de la révolution japonaise comme la la révolution française.
Enjoy the labyrinth of Asakusa in Tokyo on a Half-Day
Without any doubt, Asakusa is the most popular destination in Tokyo. Its unchangeable atmosphere, "Good old times", attracts many visitors every day. It was once the heart of Edo (Tokyo's ancient name) City, home to artisans, merchants and entertainers. As well as its oldest temple in Tokyo, Senso-ji and its great red lantern, its small lanes and winding alleyways are full of wonder. It's like a labyrinth. let's explore the labyrinth with me!
Kamakura-une demi journée dans le monde enchanté !
Il y a 800 ans, la ville de Kamakura était la capitale du Japon sous le gouvernement de samourai. En train, de Tokyo, par exemple Shinjuku, il faut environ une heure. Il y reste encore l'esprit du "Zen" partout. Je crois que trois endroits expriment l'essence de Kamakura, le Grand Bouddha (Kotoku-in ), le Temple de Bambou (Hokoku-ji) et le sanctuaire du Premier Shogun (Tsuru-ga-oka Hachiman Guu).
Tokyo, notre kaléidoscope--une journée en métro et en balade
Si vous visitez Tokyo pour la première fois, cette excursion sera le meilleur moyen pour connaître la ville ! Les differents charmes de Tokyo se déroulent devant vous comme un kaléidoscope. Faisons la traversée agréable de l'ouest à l'est de Tokyo ！

“un jour à Tokyo ”
il y a sans aucun doute un travail de préparation à notre rencontre , une prise en compte de nos demandes, des échanges par mail fréquents et précis mais cet ensemble n'a pas permis le jour J des échanges fructueux et dynamiques entre nous ce qui reste très regrettable et décevant. Le niveau de conversation en français comme ne anglais n étant pas suffisant

Je suis très reconnaissante d’avoir eu l’opportunité de visiter Tokyo Camii (mosquée). Sans cette visite, je n’aurais jamais passé de temps dans ce magnifique temple. Je n'aurais probablement pas cherché des restaurants halal et n'y aurais pas mangé. Un nouveau monde s’est ouvert. Merci beaucoup. Comment va votre père? S'il vous plaît, prenez soin de lui. Itsumi

“Delightful Meiji Jingu tour”
We had a short and beautiful toru around the Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine. Itsumi was very kind and told us about the history of the place. We also attended a ritual and Itsumi helped us with the language barrier. I would have liked more information about different aspects about Japanese culture besides the information about the place. Still, we enjoyed our time very much and my husband got to practice his japanese.

Thank you, Estefania ! I really enjoyed the tour to be with you. We could see a marriage procession and a new born baby. We're lucky ! May you be blessed with even more luck on your journey. Itsumi

“Knowledgeable Tour guide”
I hired Itsumi to pick us up and drop us off at our hotel in Tokyo for a trip to Kamakura / Itsumi knows the area pretty well and showed us the main attractions- She try to include all our wishes and doesn’t mind to spend extra time - It was a pleasant trip- I will hire Itsumi again when I visit Japan again Nicole

Hello, my dear would-be guests! My name is Hiroko. People call me Hiro for short. I am a government licensed guide. Here I am to make your time in a tour full of fun and provide you an unforgettable travel experience of your life. I grew up and live in Yokohama that is adjacent to Tokyo. After many years of several English-related job experiences, such as translating, teaching, desk work, etc., I finally found this job, tour guide, which is a perfect fit for my true nature. I love meeting people, having fun with people, and am always looking for something interesting wanting to share it with people. How about spending a part of your precious time here in Japan with this cheerful, friendly and well-informed tour guide, Hiro?

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home. I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures. Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!
