Fantastic tour, fantastic guide - The trip was very well paced. I thoroughly enjoyed the lunch which was a Southern Japanese style cafe. My tour guide, Tom, was excellent. He answered all my questions about Japanese society and history, was an excellent camera man and a genuinely nice and interesting person. This trip is planned so that during Winter, you can see the sunset over the ocean from Enoshima island.
I do recommend to bring an IC card, like a suica, as it makes going on the bus and the local train a lot easier.

Great Memories - On the day of tour, Sandy gave us an overview of the places we will be visiting and even though we told her we may skip some, she seems worried that we may be missing out and reiterated the places of interest till we reassured her that it was fine. Super warm weather but she was cheery throughout and tried to explain as much of the history of every spot. She even brought her own camera to help us take pictures which turned out perfect [plus point for the thought].
