Kamakura 6 hr Private Guided Tour & Kimono Experience

6 hours

Easy

Kimono is the beautiful traditional dress of Japan! On this 6-hour walking tour, you can experience wearing a Kimono. You will be dressed by a professional and have your hair done in a simple hairstyle.

It will take about one hour to change for one group (including a simple hair set for women). Afterward, you can walk around Kamakura and take photos. Please bring your own camera!

Take a breath of fresh sea air and see Kamakura’s temples and shrines’ beautiful gardens. The over 11-meter-tall Great Buddha is an icon of the area residing in Kotokuin Temple. Stop by the old Komachi shopping street and try some Hatosabure, dove-shaped biscuits.
