Tome was excellent. He speaks excellent English. He was waiting for us when we got off the train in Kamakura. We had a beautiful day seeing the shrines and the Buddha. In addition, we had a delicious lunch of soba noodles and tempura. Tome was friendly and knowledgeable. At the end of our tour we sat with Tome and had coffee before taking the train back to Tokyo. Tome accompanied us on the train until his stop. We not only had a wonderful tour of Kamakura but also felt we made a new friend.
