This was our favorite tour in Tokyo. We weren't familiar with railroad crossing, but it was nice to spend a few minutes on the beach and we got to see "the most famous railroad crossing in Japan". There was plenty of free time in the places we were familiar with, especially Enoshima Island!
Its boring thats it.The tour is not recommended.My husband dont like it all.Less communication with the tour guide
Great tour: would not have done it myself had it not been on offer. Jun was fantastic - adapted the tour without losing any sights or experience which helped us avoid all the crowds and allowed us to see parts of the tour without the crowds!👍🏻
It was great to be able to easily travel to Kamakura, Enoshima, and Yokohama's night views. The weather was clear and warm, making it a perfect day.
The itinerary was very full and interesting, and the tour guide, Gilbert, was also very detailed. Highly recommended!
Overall, the tour was a very good experience. Choosing the bus tour instead of public transportation was a great decision, as we were able to visit several places comfortably in a short time. Our guide Gilbert was friendly and helpful, always happy to answer questions and share information about the spots. The bus was also very punctual at each stop, which made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable.
It was a great experience seeing the Great Buddha, riding the local train, and spending time by the beach at Enoshima. Overall, this is a very nice course, especially for first-time visitors to Kamakura or Enoshima. Our guide Gilbert was friendly and helpful throughout the tour. The schedule was well balanced, not too rushed, and we had plenty of time to explore each area.
