Our driver mr 神藤志良 is such a nice and understanding driver, we enjoyed chatting with him along the way, and he is very attentive to our needs. highly recommended if you have young kids travelling with you as it was a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. he recommended us nice spots and also a nice place for lunch as it was our first time in Japan. thank you so much!

Mr. Li was our driver, and there were 6 adults in total (the children are quite large and already in high school). The driver was very kind, giving him a hundred points 💯. He would confirm the time the day before! He also drove slowly, allowing me to take pictures of the Shonan Monorail in Fujisawa 💕. Because the elders were almost 80 years old, they didn't have the energy to go to Enoshima station, so thankfully we chartered a car. We quickly got in the car and returned to the hotel, and the overtime was calculated reasonably. I hope the company can provide a larger vehicle for 6 adults in the future, otherwise it's a bit too cramped 😂
Cleanliness: Very good 👍
Service: Very good 👍

Driver was friendly and accomodate to my requests. Good recommendation for our breakfast and lunch! However the car seats were so wet that our pants were soaked. Informed the driver and he did lay down some papers for us.

Erika helped me throughout the entire process she’s very sweet and speaks a bit of English. I picked the high end package and paid extra there for the better accessories I wanted but the package came with some lovely choices.

Very beautiful selection of yukatas and kimonos. The staff was very friendly and polite and was very professional in dressing me and doing my hair. The best part is everything is already included in the price (hairdo, hair accessories, bag and shoes). Will definitely be back again when I visit Kamakura again! ❤️

The tea ceremony felt very authentic and real. We loved that it was smaller and not so commerical and touristy. it was a little hard to find the location, but we figured it out. Would absolutely recommend.
