亮点
Created by Peter Oxley and Virgil Calaguian, fellow artists, photographers, and writers, SAMURAI PHOTOTOURS take you to Kamakura's four main tourist sites, with focus on the history and heritage of the Kamakura Period (1185-1333), which saw the introduction of the shogunate, Japan's native form of government that lasted until 1868; the flowering of the samurai tradition with its strict code of bravery, honor, and loyalty; and the rise of rigidly disciplined Zen Buddhism as a religious as well as political force. Throughout this unique tour, open to people of all ages, from single travelers to groups of up to eight persons, your multilingual and multicultural guide shares with you an extraordinary wealth of knowledge of Japanese history and culture, placed in the context of concurrent Asian and European affairs, in a way that is both entertaining and enlightening. All that plus a stroll down Kamakura's main tourist hub for a lively look at colorful contemporary Japanese culture.

5A Journey thru Japanese History with Virgel
It was a wonderful yet rainy afternoon... but we got all the sites completed. Virgel is amazingly knowledgeable and put so much of Kamakura's history into perspective.... we walked thru history as Virgel set the tone. Stopping for Matcha Ice Cream was a special addition that we all sooo appreciated!!! And Virgel's interest in our next places of travel brought us closer yet, to our dear guide.
5How to Have a great Afternoon in Kamakura
From the moment we met Virgil outside the train station, we knew we were in good hands. He has an easy way of connecting with people and is a pleasure to be with. We learned so much about Kamakura (& Japan) re history, geography, and culture by visiting gardens, caves, shrines, local crafts shops, and had great views of the town and the sea. We unexpectedly came upon a wedding at a local shrine which Virgil pointed out and encouraged us to watch. He gave us plenty of opportunity for photographs and, happily for us, offered to take numerous pictures of us. A wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
5fantastic tour of Kamakura
We had a fantastic tour of Kamakura with Virgil! He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and made the history come alive in such an entertaining way. He also gave us an excellent lunch recommendation—some of the best soba we've ever had! We really appreciated his tip to visit Enoshima after the tour—it was the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommended!
5Kamakura Tour
Wonderful backstory of the history of the shoguns. Virgil was a great historian and very knowledgeable. He was very kind and also great photographer! Great tour!
5Highlight of our Tokyo trip
My 10-year-old daughter and I took a week-long trip to Tokyo, as she loves all things Japanese (anime, manga, Pokemon, Ghibli, ramen and sushi, etc), and I booked this tour as a chance for us both to learn a bit about Japanese history and culture. It turned out to be our favorite part of the trip. Virgil was an amazing guide and taught us both a lot. My daughter can be a tough nut to crack, but Virgil tells stories in such an engaging way that she thoroughly enjoyed the tour as much as I did. The shrines and temples of Kamakura are awe inspiring, and I was blown away by our day there. I give this tour my highest recommendation for anyone with even a passing interest in Japanese history, culture, and religion.
5Beautiful place and a lot of rich history!
Kamakura is a beautiful place. Virgil is very friendly, patient, knowledgable, and was always ready to take a photo of us! He knows so much about the history of Kamakura and Japan in general and we learned so much from him. He also told many fun historical anecdotes! My family really enjoyed this tour and had a wonderful time.

About Kamakura
Kamakura is a coastal town south of Yokohama, once Japan's samurai capital, known for the Great Buddha, Zen temples and surf beaches.
Kamakura was the seat of the first samurai government, from the late twelfth to the early fourteenth century, and its hills still hide dozens of temples and shrines. The Great Buddha at Kotoku-in, a bronze figure about eleven metres high, sits in the open air, and the broad avenue of Wakamiya leads from the beach to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, the town's main shrine. Hasedera temple has a tall wooden statue of Kannon and a terraced garden above the sea.
