I booked the tour package for 3 people for myself and my younger sibling. The meeting point was clear and easy to find. The night before the tour, you’ll receive a reminder email with a more detailed itinerary.
My tour guide was Peter, and he was very kind and attentive. He always made sure no one in the group was left behind and explained everything clearly.
The whole trip was so enjoyable, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my Japan trip! Although I didn’t get to spend much time on Komachi Street due to the limited time, the tour was definitely worth it. Highly recommended! it would be great if klook can give more discount 🤘😝🤘

We had a wonderful tour with our guide Wanting! She spoke four different languages (Japanese, French, Chinese, and English), which made understanding everything much easier. Wanting showed us marvelous landscapes, and the tour schedule was strictly followed. I want to highlight her professionalism from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour.

Several tours departed from the Shinjuku L-Tower. The Kamakura and Yokohama tour was led by guide Oh Sang-jun, and we traveled quite comfortably in a large bus with plenty of seating space. Guide Oh Sang-jun provided detailed guidance and explanations, and sent us information via KakaoTalk in advance, making it very convenient to explore each destination without any hassle. We really appreciated his kindness in taking photos for everyone at every photo spot. It was also nice that we could have light snacks on the bus, ride the Enoden train from Kamakura to Enoshima, and take pictures at various scenic spots along the way.

Thank you, Jack, for leading our group on a tour of Kamakura and Enoshima on October 1, 2026. Since we had 30 friends participating, I was the one who booked the tickets for everyone. We were truly lucky, as it was the very first clear day after 34 consecutive days of rain in Tokyo and Kamakura, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous! This itinerary involves walking about 20,000 steps. Our schedule went very smoothly that day, and we managed to visit every spot: Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, the Kamakura Great Buddha, riding the Enoden train, visiting Enoshima, and even stopping by the Slam Dunk railway crossing. Thank you, Jack, for recommending the restaurant on Enoshima Island, which gave us a chance to rest and enjoy lunch. In addition, a small group of us followed your recommendation and went up the observation tower to take in the stunning views! Because the weather was so clear, we even got to see Mount Fuji! It was amazing! The only thing is that we had a few elderly members over the age of 70 in our group, and this itinerary required them to walk a bit too much. If older travelers are not quite up for a lot of walking, this tour might not be suitable for them. However, for those who can handle the pace, this itinerary is fantastic and very fulfilling!

I was so lucky to have Zoe/Xiao Wang as our tour guide for the Atami Fireworks Day Tour!
What impressed me most about the entire trip was her excellent management of time and group order. Her explanations of the attractions were clear, and she thoroughly covered all important details. She also managed every meeting time perfectly, allowing the entire itinerary to proceed smoothly as planned.
I particularly appreciate her "gentle but principled" approach to leading the group. When she needed to remind group members, she always maintained a soft demeanor but firmly insisted that everyone adhere to the schedule and group rules.
I believe a good tour guide isn't necessarily about providing excessive service, but rather about clearly communicating what needs to be said and effectively managing what needs to be controlled, allowing travelers to enjoy their journey with peace of mind.
Thank you, Zoe/Xiao Wang, for your dedication and professionalism throughout the trip. This five-star review is truly a heartfelt show of support for you! ❤️

Great experience! I had been looking around for a trip like this. There were several choices but I’m glad I booked this one last minute. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable about each temple. He spoke both English and Mandarin, which was a plus for me since some terms are easily understood in Mandarin more so than English. The views for each stop were breathtaking! The photos don’t do justice. I was also lucky to be in a group of punctual people. No time wasted on waitling for fellow tourists.

Itinerary was well-organised, our group members were all cooperative & that enabled us to have sufficient time to enjoy the various attractions in this day tour. Our tour guide, Xu Jin was informative & prompt in replies. This day tour is not to be missed if you happen to be in Tokyo!!! Many beautiful photo opportunities!
Kamakura at a glance
Quick facts about Kamakura
General info
What to know before visiting Kamakura
What to do in Kamakura year‑round
Kamakura is best known for guided Tours and Cultural experiences, followed by Massages and museums-style visits, with outdoor & sports activities available for more active days. Booking rhythms on Klook show a strong spring surge: April is a clear high point for visitors while September and the autumn months are much quieter, so you can pick between lively festival-style crowds in spring or near-empty streets later in the year. These patterns come from Klook booking data and should shape whether you chase energy or peace — decide whether you want peak-season buzz or quieter strolls. Based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Kamakura
April stands out as the busiest month and September as the quietest, according to Klook booking data. Prices across the last 12 months are fairly stable: the priciest month on Klook was July and the cheapest month was August, with only around a 7% gap between them, so you can often avoid crowds without a big price penalty. If you prefer lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for September or August; if you want the full spring atmosphere, visit in April or the surrounding peak months.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Very quiet | PHP 2,676 |
| February | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,557 |
| March | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,557 |
| April | Peak demand | PHP 2,557 |
| May | Peak demand | PHP 2,676 |

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines tend to book about 8 days ahead, with the earliest planners reserving around 20 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can often stay flexible and pick plans a week before travel, though during April and other peak months it’s wise to book earlier to secure your preferred Tours or Cultural experiences. Klook shows some experiences become limited in spring, so check availability and lock in favourites in advance — but last-minute options remain (often up to 3 days before) if your plans change. Based on Klook booking data.
