Highlights

Lead by me ,a 10 year resident of Japan, licensed kimono teacher, and international lecturer; as well as tea ceremony practitioner. Let me guide you in one of my favorite towns right outside Tokyo. Get away from the hustle of Tokyo to quiet Kita-Kamakura. Learn how to walk, sit, and pose elegantly in Kimono while we enjoy the peaceful Zen of nature all around. Kimono, matcha, seasonal lunch, and sweets! What could be more exciting for your visit in Japan? Elegant but not stiff we will learn some history and etiquette but mostly we will just feel. Feel the wind, feel the silk, feel the warm tea bowl and be at peace

About Kamakura

Kamakura is a coastal town south of Yokohama, once Japan's samurai capital, known for the Great Buddha, Zen temples and surf beaches.

Kamakura was the seat of the first samurai government, from the late twelfth to the early fourteenth century, and its hills still hide dozens of temples and shrines. The Great Buddha at Kotoku-in, a bronze figure about eleven metres high, sits in the open air, and the broad avenue of Wakamiya leads from the beach to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, the town's main shrine. Hasedera temple has a tall wooden statue of Kannon and a terraced garden above the sea.

Top-ranked sights in Kamakura: Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.
