My partner and I did the Standard tour with BB&Z and it was very enjoyable. Bradee's a long-time local of the area and his passion for showing off Kamakura comes through in his tours. Thoroughly recommended.

Brad’s expertise and friendly demeanor made my Kamakura experience unforgettable. He tailored the hike’s pace perfectly, allowing me to fully appreciate every moment and discover a side of Kamakura I had overlooked on previous visits.
Trekking the Seven Passes and tracing the paths of samurai was truly enlightening. The highlight was our visit to Hokokuji, the Bamboo Temple, where we enjoyed matcha in the tranquil bamboo grove.
For an authentic and enriching Kamakura experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Brad as your guide.

As a Japanese citizen who has lived in Yokohama for over 30 years, I wanted to discover a different side of Kamakura that I have visited many times before, as I asked Brad, the Kamakura Ambassador, to be my guide. Our trip began at Asaina Kiridoshi, where I was surprised to find that right below the expressway I had been driving past many times .there was an ancient path that carried Samurai goods to Kamakura 800 years ago.And this path with almost no Tourist,
The contrast between the bustle of the tourist city of Kamakura that I encountered afterwards was very impressive. I also even felt kind of embarrassed at not much knowledge when I heard about the history and production process of the Kamakura Great Buddha in ancient times that I had never heard before from anyone. It was a fulfilling day.Thank Brad for giving me more excitement than I could have imagined as a Japanese. I highly recommend Brad not only to foreigners but also to Japanese people.

Thank you Brad for an exceptional day in stunning Kamakura ! Amazing day with Brad from Buddha Bamboo & Zen. We walked through the Asahina Kiridoshi pass which was used by the Samurai to transport goods. We saw a beautiful Shinto shrine, rock carvings and Yadira tombs. Onto the Bamboo Temple where we had a delicious traditional green tea whilst relaxing in the amazing gardens. Finally onto the Great Buddha of Kamakura. If you are ever in Tokyo and want an amazing experience we highly recommend Brad

Wonderful day in Kamakura with Brad. Highly reccomend Brad and the B,B and Z tour. Brad was very knowledgable and put together a great tour that was catered to us and our interests. Brad knew the right amount of things and the diversity of sites to see without feeling rushed. We got a big dose of history, art, and Zen - just what we were looking for- Great Buddha, temples, vegetarian lunch on the beach all wonderful, as was the green tea at the bamboo forest . Brad's upbeat energetic personality and 20+ year living in Kamakura made him an outstanding tour guide. .

Wow, I loved my private guided walking tour through Kamakura with Brad our guide. Seeing a place by foot adds so much more magic through connection to nature and slowing down the pace of hectic tour itineries, much better than jumping onto crowded tourist busses. Brad is such a fantastic host and ambassador for the area. Kamakura is a coastal city one hour from Tokyo steeped in samurai history & with 115 Buddhist temples dotted around the hills ⛰️🙌🏼🇯🇵🏯🍚🍱🎎. Brad’s local cultural and historical knowledge was awesome and it really highlighted the beauty of this part of Japan which was home to the former capital. If you are heading over to Japan or are already here looking for a great day trip, or know of someone who is, I recommend getting in contact and making a booking with Buddha, Bamboo & Zen. Whether you are travelling solo, in a couple or group, you will be blessed with the natural beauty and culture you will discover on this tour. Brad speaks both English and Japanese and so he can cater to both groups of travellers ➡️❤️🎋😀🏴🇦🇺🇺🇸🏴🏴🇮🇪🇨🇦🇳🇿🇯🇵
