A special thank you to Mr. A Ming, our driver from Ansu Travel! He's a wonderful person, his vehicle is clean, and he's very punctual. He thoughtfully provided us with information about the timing for each attraction and recommended delicious restaurants. We were fortunate enough to see Mount Fuji in its full glory that day, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. Mr. A Ming was also considerate of my father's needs, stopping at rest areas for restroom breaks. Highly recommended!

Our driver, Xiao Liu, is truly amazing. He's very patient, polite, and willing to help. He's a 100-point driver, and the car is very comfortable, like business class on an airplane, with adjustable leg rests and reclining seat backs. Xiao Liu is very punctual, always arriving early but never rushing you. We are truly grateful to him. All our photos are of Mount Fuji.

It was short but very compact tour. Alex is a good guide with decent English and explained the background of each area very thoroughly. The day trip won’t be enough to satisfy those who prefer to enjoy each area but is good for those who just wants to get a grasp of the locations and take photos.

If you're a fan of the anime Slamdunk, then this trip is a must. I was so happy to see in person the railway and train station in Kamakura featured in the opening credits of Slamdunk. Our tour guide, Allan Tan, was funny and entertaining. Though the trip was a bit fast-paced, he made sure we covered everything in the itinerary. I also enjoyed going to the Enoshima Island and the food there was great as well. All in all, I recommend joining this tour.

I joined the Kamakura, Enoshima, and Yokohama tour and it was a wonderful experience. Since the tour starts later in the morning, I was able to see Yokohama beautifully lit up at night, which was a highlight. Our guide Lee was amazing, very helpful, friendly, and supportive throughout the day, which I especially appreciated as a solo traveler.
During the free time in Yokohama, I explored Chinatown, which was gorgeous and full of delicious food to try. One thing to note is that the train can get very crowded, which is completely outside the tour company’s control, but it is good for other travelers to be prepared. Time management is also important because there are several stops, so plan ahead and prioritize what you want to see.
Overall, I definitely recommend this tour. Big thanks to tour guide Lee for making the day enjoyable and for being my hero and helping me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Day Trip from Tokyo – Highly Recommend
This Kamakura and Enoshima day tour was outstanding from start to finish. The itinerary was well-paced and thoughtfully planned, giving us enough time at each stop without feeling rushed.
Highlights included Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, strolling Komachi-dori Street, the serene beauty of Hasedera Temple, and seeing the Great Buddha up close, truly iconic. Ending the day in Enoshima was the perfect contrast, with coastal views, shrines, and ocean paths that made the experience even more memorable.
Transportation was smooth, timing was spot on, and the self-guided structure gave us flexibility while still being very organized. Everything ran exactly as advertised.
No negatives, this was a great value and an easy, stress-free way to see some of the best sights outside Tokyo. I would book this again without hesitation.

The tour guide and driver were both great. The itinerary was a bit tight, but it's perfectly fine for a brief visit. We were super lucky with the weather when we went. The transportation was by bus, and we experienced a train ride along the way. There were 2-3 controllers near Kamakura High School because of the large crowds recently, so it wasn't as easy to take photos as before, but it's still worth a visit if you haven't seen it. It's a little cold at the beach in winter, and Yokohama at night is extremely cold. There was a Christmas market this time, so the crowds were a bit scary, and you had to wait in line for the restroom for more than 10 minutes. It was hard to find a seat during meal times. Don't climb too high on Enoshima, or your legs will be sore and you won't have enough time (you'll regret it on the way back), but the sunset is beautiful!!
