Things to do in Kamakura

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!!

The Kamakura trip experience was an absolute blast. I had Allan Tan as our tour guide and honestly his high energy and enthusiasm definitely made the tour way more fun than it should be. The tour, despite being packed and quite rush, was full of very interesting history of Japan and many photogenic spots. My favourite part was 100% the trip to Enoshima, it was a magical experience to walk through the whole island and go to the shrines in there to do some prayers. If I were to suggest any improvement, I hope that the trip can have more time for us to explore, other than that I had a wonderful experience!

Serina was our guide, she was very professional, attentive and helpful, she made us feel welcomed and being taken cared of! Even though we did not got to take the cable car due to strong wind, we did get a 1000 yen refund for it.Atami firework is a once in a life experience , i for sure won’t forget about it. I highly recommend this tour! My feet finally can take a little break from all the walking.

Choosing a private car to tour the Tokyo city area with family was definitely the right choice. The driver was steady and friendly, and could accommodate changes to the itinerary on the fly. The whole trip was very relaxed. I would definitely book again next time I come to Tokyo! 👍

Our tour guide, Sakura, is really like Sakuragi Hanamichi from Slam Dunk! 😂😂😂 He can freely switch between Chinese, English, and Japanese, which is amazing. His explanations of the sights were precise, and he knew exactly what kind of stories I wanted to hear. 😁 Our driver, Mr. Wang, also had excellent driving skills, and I slept very well on the bus. Seeing the fireworks from the boat requires a lottery, and unfortunately, our group drew second to last, so we couldn't get a good spot to watch. A friendly reminder: the view of the fireworks from the top deck is obstructed by the ship's equipment, so maybe the stern of the second deck would be the best viewing spot (but I'm not sure if every boat has the same setup).
