A great day in Kamakura - We had a wonderful day with our guide Midori. She explained history as well as customs about the city of Kamakura. Even though it rained at time during our tour, she brought extra umbrellas and made the tour interesting. She had visuals to help with her explanations and gave us small gifts at the end of the tour. She’s a great example of the hospitality of the Japanese people. I can highly recommend this tour
