Description
Kamakura, just south of Tokyo, is a city full of history, especially due to its role as Japan’s medieval capital and a center for samurai culture. It is home to tranquil temples, lush gardens, and cultural relics. Therefore, Kamakura provides a peaceful escape and a journey into a fascinating past. With its mix of natural beauty and historic landmarks, a Kamakura day tour can reveal an entirely different side of Japan. It’s a very different experience from what visitors have in Tokyo, making it an essential addition to any itinerary.
On The Secrets of Kamakura Day Tour, you’ll uncover Kamakura’s lesser-known sites. This includes serene temples, tucked-away shrines and statues, and much more. All this exploration will be accompanied by insights from our knowledgeable local guide. For those who’ve enjoyed The Best of Tokyo by Car or Secrets of Tokyo by Car, this tour offers a balanced way to explore Tokyo’s surroundings and delve into Japan’s rich history. This private tour allows for an intimate, personalized experience, and we also welcome inquiries about sharing the tour with others to make it more affordable—an ideal choice for couples or solo travelers.
