What you'll see and do
Hokoku-ji Temple
Hokokuji is best known for the beautiful, small bamboo grove found behind the temple's main hall, which lies thick with over 2000 dark green bamboo stalks. A few narrow pathways lead through the bamboo to a tea house where, for a small fee, you can sit and enjoy a cup of macha tea while enjoying views into the bamboo grove. Also located behind the temple are a series of shallow caves carved into the hillsides, which are believed to hold the ashes of some of the later Ashikaga lords.

Kotoku-in - Great Buddha of Kamakura
The Great Buddha of Kamakura is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha, which stands on the grounds of Kotokuin Temple. With a height of 11.4 meters, it has long been the second tallest bronze Buddha statue in Japan, surpassed only by the statue in Nara's Todaiji Temple and some recent creations. The statue was cast in 1252 and originally located inside a large temple hall. However, the temple buildings were destroyed multiple times by typhoons and a tsunami in the 14th and 15th centuries. So, since the late 15th century, the Buddha has been standing in the open air.

Hasedera Temple
Hasedera is a temple of the jodo sect, famous for its eleven-headed statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy. The 9.18 meter tall, gilded wooden statue is regarded as one of the largest wooden sculpture in Japan and can be viewed in the temple's main building, the Kannon-do Hall. A pretty garden with ponds welcomes visitors as they enter the grounds. A small temple hall in the garden is dedicated to Benten (also known as Benzaiten), a goddess of feminine beauty and wealth. Sculptures of Benten and other gods can be found in a small cave (Benten-kutsu) next to the hall

It was founded by Minamoto Yoriyoshi in 1063, and enlarged and moved to its current site in 1180 by Minamoto Yoritomo, the founder and first shogun of the Kamakura government. The shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, the patron god of the Minamoto family and of the samurai in general.

Enoshima Island
Only a short train ride west of Kamakura, Enoshima (江の島) is a pleasantly touristy island just off the coast but connected by bridge with the mainland. The island offers a variety of attractions, including a shrine, park, observation tower and caves. Views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed on days with good visibility. Enoshima is divided into a yacht harbor accessible to motorized traffic and a forested hill which can only be explored on foot (and paid escalators) and contains most of the sights. Several shrine buildings, collectively known as Enoshima Shrine, are found around the island and are dedicated to Benten, a popular goddess of good fortune, wealth, music and knowledge. Benten is believed to have created Enoshima before subduing a five headed dragon that had been terrorizing the area.

Best Day At Great Buddha
The Kamakura trip was an excellent experience from start to finish. Our guide was highly professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the area. The driver was equally professional, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and smooth journey throughout the day. The itinerary was well organized, allowing us to enjoy the major attractions without feeling rushed. A wonderful tour with outstanding service—I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan.

Full Day Kamakura Excursion ,.Charles Dietl
I was very fortunate that Takeshi was my private tour guide and driver to Kamakura for a full day excursion. We visited several temples and shrines, including the bamboo Hōkoku-ji Zen Temple, the Meigetsu-in Temple, Kenchō-ji Temple, the world famous Kōtoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura), and the Kamakura Hase-dera. Then we went to the Enoshima Shinto Shrine. I learned a lot about the Zen and Shinto religions from Takeshi.. I highly recommended Takeshi for this trip that exceeded my expectations

Unforgettable experience and worth every penny!
This day trip went above our expectations. It started with being picked up very timely at our hotel and continued with a very smooth and safe drive to our first location. Our guide spoke excellent English, was extremely friendly and even accompanied us during our visits to numerous shrines. What was most enjoyable was the flexibility of the schedule, which we could alter as the day passed. It enabled us to see way more sights and get more background information, than we could ever have possible achieved ourselves. This trip comes highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Hi, Peter-san and Anna-san, you are the coolest couple I've ever taken to Japan tour. You are tall. You are stylish. And you are good-looking like Hollywood Movie stars. That's why you got questionnaires from Japanese students a lot. Let me say thank you for giving me a chance to spend a wonderful day. I hope you to come back to here Japan and enjoy Japanese culture deeper. Thanks again.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Kamakura Tour, From/To Tokyo, Yokohama, 2- 12 guests: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Full Day Kamakura Tour, From/To Tokyo, Yokohama, 2- 12 guests cost?
+
Prices start at $115000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Kamakura Tour, From/To Tokyo, Yokohama, 2- 12 guests take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Full Day Kamakura Tour, From/To Tokyo, Yokohama, 2- 12 guests worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Kamakura Tour, From/To Tokyo, Yokohama, 2- 12 guests?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Kamakura Tour, From/To Tokyo, Yokohama, 2- 12 guests suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Kamakura Tour, From/To Tokyo, Yokohama, 2- 12 guests?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Kamakura Tour, From/To Tokyo, Yokohama, 2- 12 guests start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
