Where you'll be
The tour is held my home town Kamakura city, where was the capital of Japan from 12th century to 14th century. In Kamakura, there are a lot of traditional religious buildings and special public facilities in modern times.
Our trip will end at Ofuna station, near Kamakura. Please feel free to ask me to see off back at Kamakura station again.

Ryotarosan was very thoughtful and considerate. Even before the trip, he gave us great directions to Kamakura and took the time to personalize the tour taking into consideration my health issues. It was supposed to be a walking tour but instead he even bought train tickets for us so that I did not have to walk very far. He also made sure that he brought only snacks to which we were not allergic to. He thought of every little detail. That shows how much he truly cared. Furthermore, he was willing to re-arrange his busy schedule to accommodate us. During the tour, you really get a sense that Ryotarosan loves his city and wants to share it with the world. The time flew by so fast and we wish we had more time. Thank you Ryotarosan. We hope to see you again, hopefully on our next visit to Japan.
