Tsurugaoka Hachimangu චාරිකා

Kento (also goes by Alan) was our tour guide. He was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The trip itself was chaotic on a Sunday but he managed to get our group of 45 on/off train twice without losing anyone. Kamakura & Eonishima are beautiful sites to visit BUT be warned, lots of walking and very crowded and hot when we went in July on a Sunday. Because the bus ride from/to Tokyo took approximately 1.5 - 2 hrs, we were limited on how much time to spend in each area. Eonishima allowed us only 2 hrs, because of huge crowds, not enough to climb stairs AND sit down to eat because of long lines for restaurant. *You’ll be lucky if you get Kento as your tour guide. He worked really hard yesterday in the heat & crowd but had so much energy for us! **Try to avoid summer when it’s hot & sunny - July/Aug if you want to actually enjoy the trip!

第一次參加一日行程，出發前很緊張，怕遇到不好相處的導遊。出發前一天 Klook 給了我們導遊資訊和聯絡方式，導遊有問必答，這才放下心。因為團員人數不多，我們這次出發是中韓合併，導遊超厲害，日中韓三語言超遛！在介紹跟導覽的時候，有時候韓文先、有時候中文先，都不偏頗，非常讚！除了導遊本職任務做得很好以外，還給了我們旅日小錦囊，哪裡好吃、哪裡最好逛、什麼必買，根本五星導遊！這位讚讚導遊就是「金明哲」，大力推推！

මෙම සංචාරය ප්‍රසන්න සහ සුන්දර විය. අනෙකුත් සංචාර සඳහා සාමාන්‍යයෙන් පෙ.ව. 8 වෙනුවට පෙ.ව. 11 ට සංචාරය ආරම්භ වීම මට විශාල වාසියක් වූයේ මට වැඩි වේලාවක් නිදා ගැනීමට හැකි වූ බැවිනි. මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා වූ “යායා” ඉතා මිත්‍රශීලී සහ හොඳ පුද්ගලයෙකි. එනෝෂිමා දුම්රිය ස්ථානය සහ එනෝෂිමා අතර ප්‍රවාහනයක් තිබුණා නම් වඩා හොඳ වනු ඇත, මන්ද යම් දුරක් ඇවිදීමට සිදු වන බැවිනි. පුද්ගලිකව, මම යොකොහාමා හිදී සංචාරයෙන් ඉවත් වී එය තවදුරටත් ගවේෂණය කළෙමි, මන්ද ටෝකයිඩෝ මාර්ගයෙන් ටෝකියෝ වෙත ආපසු යාමට විනාඩි 20 ක කෙටි දුම්රිය ගමනක් පමණක් වූ බැවිනි.

This tour was extremely good value - the pick up was late, however the tour more than made up for it - the whole day was amazing & took you to places you would not be able to see on public transport & certainly not in just one day. I liked that it was small group - we had 15 people, which was the full small bus. Plus our guide and driver. I loved that our guide told us about each place we were going to next and then let us explore on our own - no rushing around following a flag all day !!! My favourite part was Enoshima. I walked a long way back to the mainland from the island, to get the photo I wanted - Mt Fuji over the beach & water !! Just beautiful I then caught a local bus to the famous crossing of the Kamarura / Enoshima electric rail - famous for the scene in the Anime - Slam Dunk. Left at 0745 returned to Shinjuku at 6.45pm Highly recommended

司機小宋很貼心的接送，上下車點都很配合，我們玩得很盡興，省去很多步行時間

A convenient and comfortable way to cover all the key sites in the Kamakura area in a single day, saving a lot of time over taking trains/buses/long walks. Driver was punctual and helpful, communication not a problem by using Google Translate.

During the whole tour, our guide, Kento-san, was very and I mean VERY energetic and helpful. I don’t know how he got so much energy but it was really nice having him as our tour guide cause he always kept us entertained without being overbearing. Kamakura was a bit crowded but so beautiful as you can tell by the pictures. I think it’s so worth it - especially going on sunny days to really get those beautiful pictures ! Though I recommend bringing water with you and UV protection unbrella as it got really hot and only that could lessen the heat. The island itself was PACKED with tourists- really hard to get around. I liked the food but the rice crackers were not it for me- I really didn’t like it, it tasted too much like octopus to me but if you like fresh octopus you will probably like it. I loved how we were able to roam around - we got food spots and recommendations but in the end we were left to choose where we wanted to go. Defintely go with GoGoDay - they’re organised and amazing.

Incredible experience with Allan, our guide from Gogoday! Despite having a huge group of 40+ people from 15 different countries on a busy Golden Week Sunday (which Allan rightly called Mission Impossible), he handled it flawlessly. Allan was incredibly organized, providing detailed briefings and tailored recommendations for every stop. He also set up a dedicated chatgroup for easy communication and answered all our questions patiently. Also kudos to the group for being punctual throughout the tour, allowing us to cover everything. Highly recommend this fast-paced, value for money tour if your want to make the most of your trip!
