About This Tour
Buddha, Bamboo & Zen is an all-day bespoke walking tour designed exclusively for you and your family/friends. Stroll around at your own leisurely pace, stopping whenever you feel like it. Visit the Great Buddha of Kamakura, the Bamboo Temple (enjoy some green tea) and a famous Shinto shrine. Our guide is conscious of guests being templed out. We can call it a day whenever you are satisfied. Share your own itinerary with us & we'll tailor a day walk for your group or hand over the reins to us and we'll guide you around our favourite spots. See some man-made caves called yagura. Step back in time and learn about samurai history and zen, while enjoying the Spartan charm and understated elegance of the rustic temples. Escape the Tokyo megalopolis for a day and restore your equilibrium in this charming coastal town. A charismatic native English-speaking (Australian) local guide will make you feel at ease.
