Tour of Kamakura and temples in Hase - Midori was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. I would take another tour with her anytime. The tour was worth every penny.

A dive into Japanese spirituality and beauty, between temples, nature and serenity, guided with delightfulness - The tour to Kamakura was charming — a true immersion in Japan’s history, spirituality and beauty. Each temple, street and landscape seemed to reveal a little bit of the Japanese soul. The guide made the experience even more special with his kindness, attention and deep knowledge of the place. Always smiling and patient, she was able to lead the walk with ease, answering every question and sharing fascinating curiosities. His sympathy turned the tour into something far beyond a tourist visit: it was a genuine encounter with the local culture, full of learning, serenity and unforgettable moments. A lovely experience!

A day in Kamakura with Maki. - Our tour guide Maki was excellent. She was very pleasant, knowledgeable and gave us such a clear, easy to understand history of Buddha Temples and Shinto Shrines including how people of today carry the Japanese customs forward as part of everyday life. I don’t think we would have had the same experience if we did this on our own. She lives in Kamakura and was so happy to share her home town with us. She also shared her must try foods while in Japan. Book your tour with Maki. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing Experience - I had the luck to be the only one in my tour. Maki was an amazing and attentive guide, with a lot of passion for the region and lots of knowledge of its history. She was very kind and she even gave me little gifts. 100% would recommend.

Best day in Kamakura - We had an excellent trip with Miyu as our guide in Kamakura. She made the whole experience fun and relaxing while showing us the city’s main attractions, including beautiful Shinto shrines, important Buddha temples, and the famous Great Buddha statue. Miyu shared fascinating history along the way and even introduced us to local treats like pigeon cookies and octopus crackers. What stood out most was how thoughtful and attentive she was—making sure we had plenty of rest breaks and opportunities to stay hydrated. Thanks to her, the day was both memorable and comfortable. Highly recommended!
