[Spots] Hasedera Temple and Kotokuin Temple (Great Buddha)
[Visitors] Chinese-American family consisted of 11 members
[Attendants] 2 KSGG members
[Languages] Chinese and English
The family living in Japan asked KSGG to guide them, their parents, and their relatives from the U.S., 11 visitors in total, around Kamakura. The family consisted of five-year-old twins, three teenagers, the parents in their 70's, and the couple in their 40's. We used Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), English, and Japanese. As there are 11 visitors, we guided them in a flexible manner, for example, dividing them into two groups when we walked up the trail of hydrangea in Hasedera Temple. We took enough time to eat lunch at a restaurant in a hotel at Yuigahama Beach. After lunch, we went to Kotokuin Temple. As the children seemed to be bored and the parents seemed to get tired a little, we decided to end the tour at around 14:00.
