Kamakura is a must-visit town for any foreign visitor coming to Japan and it can be easily reached from Tokyo on a 60-mn train journey. Very convenient especially if you are JR Pass holder. We started the journey with our guide, who was waiting for us @the lobby of our hotel and kindly guided us through the bustling morning Japanese metro system. Visiting Kamakura was like going through different emotions and living exceptional experiences depending on the sites visited. The Hase-Dera temple, Kotokuin area, the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu temple and the Kamakura street market (where original flavoured peanuts were sold like those strawberries, mulberries, okonomyaki, wasabi, takoyaki flavours) were amazing venues that have their own spirit and atmosphere and imprint unforgettable memories on the visitors. Our guide helped us to know more about the religious, political and social history of Kamakura. We hope to be back again in the fulture to explore more the seaside and spend one day @Kamakura. Thank you so much to our guide who was very kind and helpful (she guided us through the Toranomon Hills metro station after the end of our tour) and professional. Best wishes to her.

Riding with Daisuke is worth every penny ! Don't expect the typical ancient villages. This is a ride in today's rural Japan. Ending in the crystal clear river at Daisuke's secret beach (don't forget your swimming suite !), and if your lucky, tasting saké at the old brewerie :-) This is the moment to discuss Japanese contemporary politics, religion and culture. Shoot all your questions to Daisuke. If he doesn`t have the answer immediatly, he`ll send it to you by email ;)
