We are happy to assist with arrangements from your hotel in either Tokyo or Yokohama. If you prefer, we can accompany you by train to Kamakura. Travel time is approximately one hour from Tokyo and about 40 minutes from Yokohama.

While private car transportation can be arranged, please note that it is significantly more expensive and travel times can be much longer due to heavy traffic. Taking the train is the most reliable, efficient, and recommended option.
