Explore Enoshima island, dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of art, music, and wealth, where love and relationships are celebrated. Then visit the iconic Great Buddha, a monumental bronze statue that has watched over Kamakura for centuries and the small but astonishing Zeniarai shrine where people come to wash money in the hope of getting more. Wander through the serene gardens and tranquil pathways, allowing for moments of reflection and contemplation. We will offer you insights into Japanese spirituality and the pursuit of love and prosperity. **Rain, shine, or a bit of both— our walking tours still go on!**

Itinerary
In Kanagawa Prefecture, along the Shonan coast, there is Enoshima: a small island, which can be explored entirely on foot, which offers a series of interesting attractions: shrines, panoramic points, and bathing areas. It is also possible to have a view of Mount Fuji on days with good visibility.
The Bell of Ryuren (also known as The Bell of the Dragon's Love) is a monument located on the hill of lovers, and bases its fame on the local legend of the love between the maiden and the five-headed dragon. It is said that if a couple rings the bell, their love will never break.
The Great Buddha of Kamakura is located inside the Kotoku-in temple complex. Built at the end of the 13th century, it is the second largest Buddha in all of Japan, as well as one of the most visited destinations in the entire Kanto area. Entrance Fee (not included) : About 300 JPY
The Zeniarai Benten Shrine (or just Zeniarai) is the second most popular shrine in the area. Built inside a small hill, it is said that those who wash money in the springs in the sanctuary will multiply their wealth.

About Tokyo
Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.
Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.
Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
