Enoshima
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 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 was terrorizing the area.

History, Culture, Beauty & Enjoyment
Fabi was a very professional & informative driver. He had a great sense of humor & made the day fun. We loved the historical sites we visited & the culture they portrayed.

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR IF YOU WANT A TOUR GUIDE
Our tour did not have a guide or photographer! The morning started badly with no one to meet us in the reception of our hotel. After phone calls and emails we were connected with our driver, who we wrongly assumed was our guide. We discovered at our first stop that he knew nothing about the sites we were to visit and that he was only the driver, the guide had not shown up. So extremely disappointing as we had paid over $1,000 Au$ for what we thought would be an insight into the places visited. We complained to Viator and did receive a 30% refund., however I believe this is unsatisfactory. I have since read a google review where someone else had the same experience

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR
Extremely disappointed . Our tour had no guide or photographer just a driver who knew nothing about the sights. The morning started badly with no guide at reception of our hotel , after phone calls the driver who we assumed was the guide made contact. We got underway and then realised he was just a driver. We had paid over $1000 for our family group of 5 . The value of the tour was having someone explain everything . I complained to Viator who refunded me 30%. I do not feel this is fair compensation . I also read a google review where the same thing happened to another customer. Do not book this tour

Really enjoyed this tour!
We did this tour in April 2024 with our guide Mukarram and really enjoyed it. We first went Kamakura and then to Enoshima, where we had lunch at a very good tempura restaurant (Mukarram helped us order). Enoshima interesting place as surfing is very popular there. Mukarram was punctual for our morning pickup, his van was comfortable and clean. Just a note: There is no "photographer" but Mukarram was happy to take some photos of us!

Driver, not tour guide or photographer.
While the location of the tour was great, this definitely was not a guided tour without the expectation of having a photographer. Basically, you get a driver for the day. The driver was nice but very quiet and not familiar with the history of the area or the locations we were going to. On the ride home he was looking at his phone while driving which was nerve wracking. He did bring an umbrella for us when it was raining. He also didn't rush us and was on time. Based on the name of the tour I think would expect a guide with knowledge of the area. Not sure why they don't just advertise it as a driving service.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour Kamakura and Enoshima With Guide and photographer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Private Tour Kamakura and Enoshima With Guide and photographer cost?
+
Prices start at $503 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 Private Tour Kamakura and Enoshima With Guide and photographer take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Private Tour Kamakura and Enoshima With Guide and photographer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 10 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 Private Tour Kamakura and Enoshima With Guide and photographer?
+
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 Private Tour Kamakura and Enoshima With Guide and photographer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour Kamakura and Enoshima With Guide and photographer?
+
Around 4 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour Kamakura and Enoshima With Guide and photographer 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.
