This is a day tour to enjoy the best of Kamakura, a medieval city of samurai warriors, surrounded by hills facing the ocean. During the late 12th to early 14th centuries zen and other popular schools of buddhism flourished there, and therefore, Kamakura has many beautiful temples in a lush green setting. It is possible to arrange your tour to suit your needs and interests, such as zen vegetarian meals or a short hiking.

Five stars to Fumie. She is very kind and very knowledgeable about the area. We were a big group and she happily helped all of us with a smile on her face.
Thank you Jorge san, for using me yesterday. Your group was fantastic. It was my great pleasure to be a part of your special vacation.
Wonderful tour and Fumie was able to change everything when we realized that the day of the tour would be rainy. She moved everything up a day earlier and did a great job of planning a fun day and allowing us to see all the highlights. Highly recommend Fumie!
Thank you, Rebecca, for using me and writing a good review. I am glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with me. I am also grateful that everything worked out quite well despite change of the date.
Fumie helped us navigate a complex application and scheduling process for us to obtain the FISCO license in order to race on the Fuji Speedway track. She was very detail oriented and proactive in helping us coordinate with the management company as well as the race car supplier. She did a fantastic job translating on-site, and was very responsive and punctual. We will definitely be using Fumie’s services in the future when we come back to race!
Thank you, Keith san, for using my service and writing a good review. I am glad you enjoyed the day at Fuji Speedway. I hope to see your wife and kids in Japan in the future, too! Thanks!
Fumie is an incredible guide and extremely professional. From the start, she planned a fabulous day to maximize our sightseeing for the day. We arrived from Tokyo and she let us know the best train to start our day and was waiting for us as we exited the station. We beat the crowds!!! Our day started with a ropeway ride, a pirate ship on Lake Ashi geological tour, eating black eggs , a lovely udon shop, a parquetry shop,, a lovely walk on the old cedar line road. We were fortunate to see Mt Fuji ! It was a day we will always remember! And yes…Fumie made sure we got to all these spots seamlessly.
Thank you, Hope-san, for letting me work for your wonderful family, and for a great review! I hope you will bring the best memories of Hakone home and come back to Japan someday.
