Loved the tour. We got lucky and Mount Fuji was visible all day. All the places were beautiful and the fall foliage has started coming in. Rachel was a great guide. Always making things very clear and efficient. Also telling us little facts about Japan and the places we where visiting. Would do it again.

Kamakura is nestled between mountains and the sea, with numerous shrines and temples. You can enjoy the abundant nature and the beautiful scenery of the shrines and temples, as well as a cultural atmosphere similar to Kyoto and Nara, but without the crowds. A small incident before the trip is not worth mentioning in the face of such beautiful scenery. The Shonan Coast in front of Kamakura High School reminded me of Slam Dunk I watched as a child. At the end of Enoshima Island, there is a very beautiful coastline, and this small island has the beauty of mountains and water. Jin, our guide, is very considerate and patiently reminds and takes care of every tourist. This is a very worthwhile trip to participate in.

Kamakura and Enoshima are both worth to visit. it rained during my trip, but I enjoyed the small, clean shopping streets, the Budha statue, the train ride, Enoshima island. we walked more than 5 kilometers during this trip.
