### ✨ What’s This Trip About?

This is not your typical Kamakura sightseeing tour.
Local leaders ("Program Owners") will guide you through unique experiences that connect you with Kamakura’s culture, community, and circular living.
You’ll meet people making real change in Kamakura — social entrepreneurs, festival organizers, and craftspeople. After the trip, you’ll also be invited to join an online community to stay connected.
