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.

Mr. Li was our driver, and there were 6 adults in total (the children are quite large and already in high school). The driver was very kind, giving him a hundred points 💯. He would confirm the time the day before! He also drove slowly, allowing me to take pictures of the Shonan Monorail in Fujisawa 💕. Because the elders were almost 80 years old, they didn't have the energy to go to Enoshima station, so thankfully we chartered a car. We quickly got in the car and returned to the hotel, and the overtime was calculated reasonably. I hope the company can provide a larger vehicle for 6 adults in the future, otherwise it's a bit too cramped 😂
Cleanliness: Very good 👍
Service: Very good 👍

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 a pleasant experience, the girls who serve are super friendly, although there are some language limitations, they strive to understand and make themselves understood even with signs and gestures. The kimonos looked great, the photos turned out incredible. They also took care of our suitcases all day until closing for 1100 yen each. And the location of the place is excellent. Good experience.

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!

Initially, we considered traveling independently, but later decided to sign up for a day tour, which was definitely the right choice. I highly recommend these types of day tours. Although the time spent at each location is limited, you can most effectively use your time to visit the highlights, greatly saving yourself the time of figuring out directions and waiting for transportation. Our tour guide, Allen, was great! He's very professional and experienced, planning everything well and providing a wealth of information. It was a very enjoyable day trip. All photos must be under 3MB. I won't upload any classic photos. However, the Line group that the tour guide added temporarily was very convenient and efficient, especially when taking a tour bus with tourists from various countries mixed with locals and traveling on the Enoden line in separate train cars, which was really exciting (tourists should pay attention and be aware of their disembarkation station, and can't just zone out because they're on a tour).
