What To Expect
This tour will mainly visit beautiful temples that are popular among the locals, not the usual tourist spots.
Different from touristy and crowded temples, you will be able to relax and enjoy the quiet temples with the flowers, moss, greenery, and in late fall, the autumn leaves.
The guide is not a guide sent from Tokyo. The guide is a local who has lived near the Kamakura area for about 40 years, loves the tour course, and has a government certification.
The guide's explanation of Kamakura's history and traditions will bring you even closer to the people of that time. For example, 800-year-old cut-through and the tragedy of the princess enshrined in the Jizo Hall. The guide's explanations can be reduced on request.
This is a private tour where only you or your couple walk around together. This means that you can enjoy this tour without being bothered by other guests.
It will end before 1:00 p.m., even if delayed, so you can make your afternoon plans as you wish.
