Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to embark on this tour is during the crisp, clear days of autumn or the blooming spring season for the most pleasant weather and vibrant scenery. Starting your tour early in the morning around 8:00 AM is highly recommended to beat the crowds at Kamakura's popular temples and to catch the beautiful morning light at the Yokohama waterfront.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Capture the Great Buddha early in the morning when the soft light highlights the bronze details and the crowds are minimal.
Head to the Yokohama Marine Tower or the Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel just before sunset to photograph the city skyline reflecting beautifully on Tokyo Bay.
Take advantage of your driver's complimentary photo assistance to get wide-angle group shots at the scenic temple entrances without asking strangers for help.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When visiting Kamakura's temples and shrines, it is respectful to bow slightly before entering the torii gates and to avoid taking photographs of the main deities inside the worship halls. Remember to speak in hushed tones in sacred areas and always purify your hands at the chozuya water pavilion before approaching the main shrine. Tipping is not customary in Japan, so a simple thank you to your driver is the best way to show appreciation.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

Visit Kamakura during the mid-April Kamakura Festival to witness traditional parades, yabusame (horseback archery), and lively street performances.
Experience the Yokohama Port Anniversary Festival in early June, featuring spectacular ship parades, fireworks, and vibrant waterfront celebrations.
Enjoy the stunning autumn foliage illuminations at Kamakura's temples from late November to early December, offering a magical evening atmosphere.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Stay hydrated throughout the day, utilizing the complimentary bottled water provided in your private vehicle, especially during the humid summer months.
Be mindful of uneven stone paths and steps at traditional temple grounds in Kamakura, and watch your step when walking near the waterfront edges in Yokohama.
Keep your personal belongings secure, particularly when navigating crowded areas like Yokohama Chinatown or busy train stations if you choose to walk around.

Visitor Information

Entry Fee

This tour covers all private transportation, fuel, tolls, and parking fees, but entrance fees to specific temples, shrines, and attractions are not included and must be paid directly at the venues. Children under a certain age may qualify for discounted or free entry at some religious sites, so it is advisable to carry small cash for these incidental expenses.

Visit Duration

This private tour typically spans a full day of about 8 to 10 hours, allowing ample time to explore both Kamakura and Yokohama without feeling rushed. If you are short on time, prioritize the Great Buddha and Hasedera Temple in Kamakura, followed by a quick scenic drive and lunch stop at the Yokohama waterfront.

Accessibility

While the private air-conditioned vehicle provides comfortable door-to-door transport, accessibility at specific temples and shrines in Kamakura may be limited due to historic stone steps and gravel paths. Yokohama's modern waterfront areas, shopping malls, and Chinatown are generally highly accessible with paved walkways and elevator facilities.

About Private Kamakura plus Yokohama Tour - English Speaking Driver

The Future 21st Century Port is located in Yokohama, the third largest city in Japan, and its name represents the future dream of the city of Yokohama as a harbor for the 21st century. It used to be a shipbuilding base near the sea, and now it has not only hotels and amusement parks, but also cultural venues such as convention and exhibition centers, art galleries, and concert halls. Because Yokohama is close to Tokyo and can form a convenient tourist route with Tokyo, the Port of the Future 21st Century has become one of the must-see spots for tourists from all over Japan in recent years. The first thing that catches your eye when you come here is the huge Ferris wheel by the sea and the high-rise buildings standing around it. Its shape is very special, inspired by the traditional Japanese comb, which is the symbol of the place. When the weather is good, you can see Mount Fuji from the beach, which has become a tourist attraction in Yokohama. It would be a pity to visit Port Mirai from a distance by the sea. The famous red brick warehouse is the highlight here.

Stay hydrated throughout the day, utilizing the complimentary bottled water provided in your private vehicle, especially during the humid summer months.
Be mindful of uneven stone paths and steps at traditional temple grounds in Kamakura, and watch your step when walking near the waterfront edges in Yokohama.
