Overview
Join me (a native English speaking "global local") on a one-of-a-kind walking tour through Kamakura—Japan’s first samurai capital and the birthplace of the shogunate.
This immersive journey brings to life the fascinating history of the Kamakura period, from warrior-led politics to spiritual revolutions, as we visit iconic sites like Tsurugaoka Hachimangū Shrine, the Great Buddha of Kōtoku-in, and the bustling Komachi Dori.
We will also end the tour with a scenic visit to Enoshima Island, filled with ocean views, tucked-away shrines, and a relaxed coastal vibe.
The tour also includes professional travel photography, with memorable moments captured using a Sony a7III 4K camera, so you can fully enjoy the experience while taking home beautifully documented memories.
With a deep love for Japanese history and a passion for storytelling, I guide each tour with the aim of offering something deeper than sightseeing. This is Kamakura through the eyes of someone who truly knows it :)
