Reviews
Our tour guide was incredibly thoughtful! They could switch seamlessly between Chinese and English, ensuring every tourist understood the explanations. They also proactively shared practical tips, like the best spots for photos. For someone like me who doesn't drive, having direct transportation was incredibly convenient and completely eliminated any worries about getting around!
Today's tour guide, Kanazawa Seiya, was a very polite, smiling, and attentive female guide. Our trip went incredibly smoothly thanks to her approachability and professionalism. We truly thank her!
The overall experience was great. Standing on the Shonan coast, feeling the breeze, with the cherry blossoms in bloom, it was a very comfortable trip.
The Great Buddha is majestic and awe-inspiring, the environment is serene, and it's rich in history. The Enoden train ride along the coast offers stunning scenery, and the retro train cars create a wonderful atmosphere. The price is very reasonable! You don't have to worry about changing trains yourself; it takes you directly to the sights, which is perfect for those who prefer not to plan their trips. It covers two must-see highlights in Kamakura, and the experience is excellent. I highly recommend it to everyone!
There was too much walking, which was tiring. We skipped the high school course because we couldn't take pictures anyway, so we didn't go. Then why was it included in the itinerary? Was it simply because of the rain? Enoshima was also only a partial viewing. I understood that if you were late, they would just leave, treating it as a no-show, but they waited for everyone and departed late. They said there wasn't enough time and cut down on sightseeing, so what about those who arrived early on time? Only the guides were kind and good. Unlike Osaka or Fukuoka, where it's mostly Korean groups, there were people from various countries, which also caused some inconvenience, making me feel that the guide's explanations were inevitably incomplete. Although the weather was bad, I was disappointed in several ways. I don't recommend it!
