"A resident of Japan for over 25 years, I would be delighted to show you around Kamakura and give you an insight into the rich history of this beautiful city, as exemplified by its many heritage sites, some dating back hundreds of years."
Peter Oxley
Kamakura is a photographer's paradise...

Japan's first shogun and founder of the
country's first military government, along with the birth of the Samurai Code of Honor and the flowering of Zen Buddhism.
Peter lives in Kamakura and has recently published a coffee table book to showcase the beauty and grandeur of the historic city through the seasons, showcasing its temples, shrines, and gardens.
