Wonderful Kamakura

What a wonderful day. Travelled on our own to Kamakura, meeting our guide Itsuki upon arrival. Though it happened to be very crowded as a result of the holiday, and golden week, Itsuki was able to navigate the crowds and show us a wonderful time. We were able to travel at our pace, enjoy a wonderful lunch, and get a wonderful overview of the area. If you’re lucky enough to have Itsuki as your guide, you will truly enjoy your day in this wonderful beach town.
