Kamakura walking tour
R6473RCannettec, Apr 2025
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Maki! She gave us an excellent overview of the history and relevance of the places we visited in Kamakura. I have visited Kamakura many times in the past with my mother but never knew anything about its history. So I learned a great deal! I highly recommend this walking tour and most especially this tour with Maki as your guide!!
