      Another great video! Love your maps and tips for the independent traveler. Thank you for pointing out the restroom, it’s important information for some people (like Kevin) who need to use the restroom a lot…. Also it’s good to know about when walking shoes are needed or if the walks are uphill so taking the bus is easier. You are good at keeping your viewers in mind!

      Thats another great video, thank you so much for it. I havent been to Kamakura yet, and definitely want to go there on my next trip to Japan. I like to take my time, I dont like day trips, and I like to be there before and after the day visitors arrive (or leave). I want to visit all the places you have mentionned. Do you think that 3 nights are too much ? Maybe 2 nights in Kamakura and 1 night on Enoshima ? Thanks a lot for your advice.

      Great video Kenchan! So many options of day trips from Tokyo so I'm excited to try what ones I can if I have the time. Any chance you can get a mic when you are filming outside? it is very hard to hear you – sorry!

      Side note – Hokokuji looks incredible. I have it saved in my google maps already but wow it looks amazing in the video!

      Kenchan you are a life saver and one of hidden gems of you tube. ❤❤❤

      Your day trips videos saved me as I came to Tokyo for tourism and I couldn’t plan my trips in Japan beforehand due to my work.

      What I like about your videos they are short and clear without spoiling anything about the destination.

      Keep up the good work.

      ❤ I just got back from Tokyi and I had my own version of short kamakura day trip. Asakusabashi > Shimbashi > Ofuna (Daikannon) > Enoshima (via shonan monorail) – lunch, then walk to beach & island – took enoden Kamakura (have coffee) – JR to Sakuragicho – took Yokohama Air Cabin – dinner at Port mall > Negishi-sen to Akihabara > walk to Asakusabashi (hotel) 😂
      I was so tired but happy. And I want to visit again soon! Still have not visited Daibutsu and chikurin ^^
