If you're visiting Tokyo, you absolutely must go. The relaxed charm and romance of Kamakura are a fantastic combination with the bustling city of Tokyo. In particular, our guide, Gilbert, was so attentive to everyone that it felt like we were personally invited and hosted by him. It was a truly wonderful day.
