Extremely clean, the driver was 10 minutes early to pick us up and told me about many different attractions along the way. Today's trip was super enjoyable and I took a lot of beautiful photos. The driver also took me to eat at Xiaozuo, which was super delicious! It was the best tempura shrimp rice I've ever had, super delicious, and the tempura shrimp was bigger than my face.

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.

An amazing experience in Kamakura! It’s a worthwhile day trip from Tokyo, with beautiful seascapes—especially around Enoshima Island. Our guide, Jeffrey, was very organized, which was especially helpful as we navigated the trains as a large group. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful day trip to Kamakura and Enoshima with our guide. He was young, friendly, and spoke both English and Chinese, which made everything very easy. The tour was very well organized, and he was always punctual and easy to contact on WhatsApp. He showed us beautiful places in Kamakura, including a traditional temple, lovely sakura, and even a hidden pond. One special moment was taking a local train and stopping to take photos from the same view as a famous anime scene. We also visited the Great Buddha, then took the train to Enoshima and walked to the island. Everything was beautiful, and the information he shared was very useful. He was also always happy to answer our questions. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a beautiful, well-organized, and enjoyable tour.
