The service provided by the male tour guide Jason Zhu was very good. You need to be mentally prepared for this trip because you need to walk a lot (the tour guide said it starts at 10 kilometers). There are two trains in the middle. Many people can easily get separated or dispersed in the car at the scenic spot, but the tour guide Everyone was told in advance which station to get off at, so the whole journey went smoothly!

This one-day trip to Kamakura from Tokyo was a very memorable experience! The attractions were very rich. We visited the famous Great Buddha of Kamakura and felt the tranquil atmosphere. The sea view of Enoshima was also intoxicating. Standing on the island and overlooking the sea, I felt particularly happy. Taking the Kamakura tram through the ancient streets was like going back in time. The tour guide's explanation was vivid and interesting, which gave us a deeper understanding of each attraction. The whole itinerary was well-organized and unhurried. I highly recommend it!

The tour guide was very lively and cheerful. There was plenty of time to visit each attraction. She would repeatedly confirm that everyone was keeping up with the group on sections where everyone needed to walk together. At the end of the journey, she also took group photos with everyone at a suitable time and place.

This one-day trip from Tokyo to Kamakura is well worth taking! We visited classic attractions such as the Great Buddha of Kamakura, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, and Enoshima Island, and each place was impressive. I especially liked the experience of the Kamakura tram. Sitting in the carriage, feeling the retro atmosphere, passing by the beautiful scenery of Kamakura, it was like traveling through time. The tour guide was very attentive, not only providing a rich historical background, but also helping us take a lot of beautiful photos. In general, the itinerary was well arranged and the service was thoughtful. It was an unforgettable trip!

Mr. Satori's service was excellent. Not only did he arrange the route well, he also shared with us Japanese customs and the history of scenic spots along the way. You will get the difference between green-plate cars and white-plate cars, how Japanese people view Chinese people and other local knowledge. It is true that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Mr. Satori also pampered us. When we were delayed due to personal reasons, he patiently waited and joked with us humorously. We were laughing and talking all the time. I will definitely make an appointment next time~
