A great day trip from Tokyo - We saw so many beautiful places. Each one better than the last. From the Great Buddha to the bamboo-filled Houkokoji Temple… it was a lovely day and Sunny was a charming and accommodating guide. A lovely day away from the city vibes of Tokyo.

Kamakura - a bustling town with culture , and a nice beach - Kamakura was a Very cute town- loved the Heshedara temple !food was a challenge since we were vegetarian. We found a hole in the wall restaurant that served South Indian food that was very authentic! We did not cover all the spots, could have managed time better. Yokohama Chinatown was hohum, we did not have time to visit the Sankieb garden. Sunny , our tour driver was good but do cover the schedule ahead of time so you can plan your time accordingly.
