Overview

Explore more of Kamakura in one day on a private e-bike tour with a local English-speaking guide based in Kamakura.

Ride beyond the usual sightseeing route to discover the Great Buddha, Hokokuji’s bamboo grove, Yuigahama Beach, peaceful Myohonji Temple, and the hidden shrines of Sasuke Valley.

E-bikes make Kamakura’s hills easier and allow you to cover both the eastern and western sides of the city more comfortably than on foot.

Along the way, learn about Kamakura’s samurai history, temples and shrines, local culture, and everyday life from a local perspective.

Your e-bike rental and admission fees are included, so you can simply enjoy the ride and explore Kamakura at a relaxed pace.
