- Overview
-
- This tour will mainly visit beautiful temples that are popular among the locals, not the usual tourist attractions.
- Different from touristy and crowded temples, you will be able to relax and enjoy the quiet temples with the flowers, moss, greenery, and in late fall, the autumn leaves.
- The guide is not a guide sent from Tokyo. The tour guide is a local who has lived near the Kamakura area for about 40 years, loves the tour course and the temples, and has a government certification.
- The guide's explanation of Kamakura's history and traditions will bring you even closer to the people of that time. For example, 800-year-old cut-through and the tragedy of the princess enshrined in the Jizo Hall. The guide's explanations can be reduced on request.
- This is a private tour where only you or your couple walk around together. This means that you can enjoy this tour without being bothered by other guests.
- The tour ends at noon, so you are free to make your own plans for the afternoon.
- What to expect
-
Walk 7 minutes. (see remarks) Meigetsu-In, known as "Hydrangea Temple" is famous nationwide with approximately 2,500 hydrangea varieties with beautiful blue colors from the end of May to the end of June. It is a Zen temple built in the late 14th century and there is a dry landscape garden, an inner garden (closed to the public), and a teahouse. Remarks) After the course briefing at the tour start, if you select Chouju-Ji Temple (open only from April to June, and October to early December) instead of Meigetsu In, this tour will not visit Meigetsu-In Temple rather go direct to Jouchi-Ji Temple then Chouju-Ji Temple.
