[Morning Cycle Tour in KAMAKURA!] The early bird catches the worm! ~Pedal into Kamakura’s Awakening!
Tour Features
Explore KAMAKURA's Hidden Gems on Our Early Morning Cycling Tour!KAMAKURA is only about an hour by train from Tokyo, and is bustling with tourists every day.
Actually, KAMAKURA has a longer history than Tokyo.
The KAMAKURA-shogunate was established about 400 years before the EDO-shogunate was established in Tokyo.
Even today, many temples remain in the area, and it is called "Little Kyoto".
Early in the morning, the town of KAMAKURA begins to prepare for the dawn.
As the gates of the TSURUGAOKA-HACHIMAN-GU shrine open, a barrage of "TAIKO drums" resounds!
Moreover, KAMAKURA, with its many narrow streets, is a difficult place to ride a bike during the busy daytime.
That's why we offer you the early morning cycling tour!
Catch the moment by bike when KAMAKURA awakens with us!
