Kamakura and Enoshima private day trip from Tokyo, with a driver who speaks your language.
The Great Buddha, ancient temples and the sea, one private day, an easy hour from Tokyo, no crowded trains, no timetables. Your chauffeur collects you at your Tokyo hotel and the old capital opens up at your own pace: a giant bronze Buddha, a hillside temple above the bay, a great shrine at the top of its avenue, then the island of Enoshima and the open coast of Shonan. Your luggage stays in the car, the route stays flexible, and every temple and viewpoint is yours to linger over. Around eight hours, door to door, guided in your language. From ¥144,000, confirmed in writing.

- Your luggage stays in the car: nothing to carry, nothing to check; the car is your base all day.
- One agreed price: from ¥144,000 for the Standard class, confirmed before you book. No meter, no tickets to juggle.
- The right vehicle: from the Toyota Alphard to the Mercedes-Benz S 500, matched to your group and luggage.
Your day in Kamakura and Enoshima, at your own pace
Kamakura rewards a private car. It is a scatter of temples and shrines across wooded hills and a coastline, lovely on foot in places, but strung out and busy, and the little local trains fill quickly on a fine day. With a private driver, the distances fall away. Stand before the giant bronze Daibutsu at Kotoku-in, then climb to Hase-dera for its Kannon and the sea spread out below, hydrangeas lining the paths in season. Walk the avenue up to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, the great shrine at the heart of the old capital, and slip into the quiet green light of the Hokoku-ji bamboo grove. Browse Komachi-dori for snacks and crafts, then follow the coast to Enoshima, its shrine, sea caves and views out over the water, with the beaches of Shonan along the way. Your driver reads the weather and the crowds and reorders the day so the temples are calm and the coast is at its best. You simply ride, look, and stay as long as you like.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a private day trip to Kamakura and Enoshima from Tokyo?
From ¥144,000 for the Standard class, a full day of around eight hours, door to door, confirmed in writing before you book. Larger vehicles apply a simple multiplier.
How long is the Kamakura day trip?
Around eight hours door to door from your Tokyo hotel. Kamakura is roughly an hour from central Tokyo, so most of the day is spent among the temples and along the coast, not on the road.
What does the day in Kamakura include?
A flexible loop of the highlights, the Great Buddha at Kotoku-in, Hase-dera, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, the Hokoku-ji bamboo grove, Komachi-dori and the island of Enoshima with the Shonan coast, sequenced by your driver to the weather and the crowds, at your own pace.
Can we combine Kamakura with the coast at Enoshima?
Yes. The two sit close together along the Shonan shore, and a private car links them easily in one day, temples in the morning, the island, sea caves and coastal views in the afternoon, with time on the beach if you wish.
Will my driver speak my language?
Yes. Your chauffeur's language, Italian, French, Spanish, English or Japanese, is confirmed at booking and stated in writing.
Are the drivers licensed?
Yes, only fully licensed Tokyo operators (Class 2 licence, green plate). We never arrange unlicensed driving.
