Private half-day tour with an official guide through Kamakura, with a tailor-made itinerary between the Great Buddha, Hase-dera and the great temples; from around 12.000 ¥.
This private walking tour is the most comfortable and enriching way to discover Kamakura with an official guide dedicated to your group, who adapts the route to your interests and handles the logistics. In about four hours you can visit two or three of the most emblematic places in the city of your choice, such as the bronze Great Buddha of Kotoku-in, the Hase-dera temple with its gardens and sea views, the great Zen temples of the Kamakura era or the lively Komachi-dori street. The guide, English-speaking and licensed, calmly tells you the history of Japan's first shogunate and the legends of each temple, and helps you with photos and recommendations. The price starts at around 12.000 ¥ and varies according to the duration and the size of the group (transport and admission costs are usually separate). Kamakura is less than an hour from Tokyo, so it is ideal for a day trip. It is advisable to book in advance. It is the best option for those who want to delve into the culture and history without worrying about organising the route.
