Yes, Kamakura is walkable. However, with a Local Expert, they will handle the route and the train transfers, as well as providing local context to the sights you will see.
Yes. Most repeat visitors have done the Great Buddha and the main shopping street. Your Local Expert can shift the day toward Hasedera's gardens, quieter side streets, and food stops you walked past last time, so the second visit feels different from the first.
Comfortable shoes are essential, the day involves walking and standing. Dress in layers and check the season carefully. Kamakura summers are humid and the temple grounds offer limited shade. In spring and autumn, a light jacket is usually enough.
Yes, this tour is suitable for families with children. While there is a fair amount of walking, the pace is relaxed and there are plenty of engaging stops along the way. The route is designed so kids are not just “transiting between attractions,” but have things to look at and enjoy throughout.
