Overall, I was disappointed.

First, there was extremely little information about the history and description of Kamakura. There was only a brief explanation at the beginning of the tour, and after that, it was more of an introduction to the locations rather than providing any substantial historical context. They should definitely add more background about each place.

At each location, there wasn't enough time to really see everything, and we felt rushed the whole time, which made it hard to enjoy.

At each location, there wasn't enough time to really see everything, and we felt rushed the whole time, which made it hard to enjoy. It was also inconvenient that we couldn't eat or drink on the bus.

Michael was pleasant and nice. まず鎌倉の歴史や説明が極端に少なかった。
ツアーの初めに少し説明があっただけで、後は簡単な最低限の説明と言うより、その場所の紹介だけ。
もっとそれぞれの歴史などの背景を加えるべき。

それぞれ行った場所でも充分に見る時間がなく、ずっと急いで周り、楽しめなかった。
バスの中で飲み食いできなかったのも不便。

マイケルは感じが良かったしナイスだった。

The guide, who was able to speak Japanese, taught us with great care, which made even me, as a Japanese person, feel a bit embarrassed. Overall, I was glad that the tour ended quickly.日本語が出来るガイドさんが丁寧に教えて下さるので、日本人の自分でさえ恐縮する程でした。全体的に早くツアーが終わることができたので良かったです。

This is my fourth time participating with this company. There were a total of 36 participants, and only two of us were Japanese. We efficiently toured Kamakura, coming from various countries to Japan. The guide planned the route considering the crowds, starting with Komachi Street where we enjoyed some street food, then visiting Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.

Finally, we visited a shrine on Enoshima ⛩️ and enjoyed some seafood cuisine before heading to Tokyo Station. It was a great experience! この会社の参加は4回目です。
全員で36名参加で日本人は私達２名でした。色々な国から日本に来てツアーは鎌倉を効率よく廻ってくれました。
ガイドさんが混む順を考えて最初は小町通りここでは食べ歩きをして鶴岡八幡宮に参拝し、次は鎌倉大仏、江ノ電に乗り途中下車写真撮影🤳最後に江の島で神社⛩️参拝して海鮮料理を堪能して東京駅に向かうという感じで良かったですよ。

You can visit the Great Buddha of Kamakura, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, and Enoshima. You can also visit famous locations that were featured in Slam Dunk via the Enoshima Electric Railway. Since this tour departs from Tokyo, I highly recommend it for those who have never been to Kamakura. We were able to efficiently see all the highlights. The tour was conducted in English, and I can’t thank our guide Alex enough for his hospitality. He was a great guide.鎌倉大仏＋鶴岡八幡宮＋江ノ島を周れる。江の島電車でスラムダンクの舞台にもなった有名場所も訪れられる。東京から出発しているので鎌倉に行ったことない方は是非お勧めしたい。効率的に見所を周れた。英語での催行ツアーになったが、ガイドのAlexのホスピタリティには感謝しかない。良いガイドだった。

The tour was mainly for Chinese participants, but the tour guide was kind and spoke Japanese very well, which was great. It would have been nice to travel to Kamakura individually, but I wanted to ride the Enoden, and it was appreciated that they picked us up by bus. We were the only two Japanese people, so I think it was a bit of a hassle for the guide to provide instructions about the time and meeting place in both Chinese and Japanese.

Thank you for your consideration, such as seating us at the very front of the bus! 中国の方メインのツアーでしたが、添乗員さんが親切で日本語もお上手で良かったです。個人で鎌倉旅行でも良かったのですが、江ノ電にも乗りたかったし、バスで迎えに来てくれるのはありがたかったです。日本人は私たち2人だけで、時間や集合場所の案内が、中国語と日本語で面倒だったと思います。バスも1番前にしてくださるなど、ご配慮いただき、ありがとうございました！
