Our trip to Kamakura was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us the history behind the sites we were seeing. The town itself was quite a change from the busy streets of Tokyo. The Hase temple is breathtaking, as are the grounds that surround it. The large Buddha was very impressive, but the temple and the shrines were our favorite part. Our tour group was wonderfully eclectic and small enough that we got to know a little bit about everyone. We chose this tour because we did not have time to make it to Kyoto, but wanted to make it out of the city. We are so glad we did.

The rickshaw ride was our favorite part. I was surprised to hear that some people on our tour didn't even know that the rickshaw ride was an option. We had a great time.

On this tour, we only had 11 people plus the guide. We took a series of trains to Kamakura. The giant Buddha in Kamakura was worth the whole trip. The Japanese lunch was good. I was the only one of the 11 to take the rickshaw ride, so I felt somewhat embarrassed about taking it. However, it was an interesting ride. Our guide was great.

It was a great experience, our tour lady was excellent. She took really good care of us, very helpful. Great for first time in Japan.

The greatest tour we did in Tokyo, very nice guide who made the trip enjoyable. The temples are absolutely beautiful.
