Self-awareness Zen walk “Iza Kamakura — it’s time to go to Kamakura”

Kanagawa

Self-awareness Zen walk “Iza Kamakura — it’s time to go to Kamakura”

This walk, led by a local artist, emphasizes a quiet, meditative, and meaningful experience. It deliberately avoids crowded tourist spots and streets, instead offering a tranquil route through the green hills that gently slope toward the ocean. Along the walk, we will visit four temples — three of which belong to the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism — including one founded by Eisai, the monk who introduced Zen Buddhism and culture of green tea to Japan.

Discover Yanesen: charming Yanaka, Nippori and Nezu neighborhood in Tokyo

Just 15 minutes from Tokyo Station, time seems to stand still here. Unlike much of Tokyo, Yanaka escaped major wartime destruction, preserving its narrow streets, wooden houses, and small local shops that evoke the atmosphere of “old Tokyo.” Together with Nezu and Sendagi, the area is known as Yanesen. Centered around Yanaka Cemetery, it is home to many Buddhist temples, the lively Yanaka Ginza shopping street, and family-run daifuku and senbei shops, cute street cafés and flower stores.

“Excellent Guide”

Our family had an absolutely wonderful experience with Dmitrijs during my parents' recent trip to Tokyo. Since it was their first time navigating Japan, we wanted someone who could make them feel at ease, and Dmitrijs exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly kind, personable, and professional from start to finish. Beyond his deep knowledge of Tokyo’s history and culture, what really stood out was his ability to make my parents feel comfortable and confident in a completely new environment. He struck the perfect balance with the pacing of the tour—ensuring they saw the highlights without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Dmitrijs also went above and beyond by sitting down with them to review the rest of their Japan itinerary, offering invaluable local insights that helped shape the remainder of their trip. Most importantly, my parents enjoyed his company immensely; he wasn't just a guide, but a friendly face who made their visit truly special. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide in Tokyo, we cannot recommend Dmitrijs highly enough!

Thank you very much, Harinder, for your heartwarming feedback! I am really happy to hear that your family enjoyed the tour. That was great pleasure for me to meet your family and be your guide. I'm looking forward to seeing you and your friends in Tokyo and Japan again! Thank you one again!
