Itinerary
The first place we visit is the tomb of Minamoto no Yoritomo, a 12th century general who founded the Kamakura Shogunate. It takes about 10 minutes from the start point to get here, and along the way, you can also enjoy beautiful cherry blossom trees in spring.
This is a shrine with a beautiful precinct that enshrines Michizane Sugawarano, who is said to be the god of learning. There is also a picture brush painted mound with a Kappas drawn by 154 manga artists around the grounds, which is a must-see for manga lovers.
The oldest temple in Kamakura, Sugimoto-dera. The beautiful stairs covered with green moss leading to the precinct are fantastic photo spots.
Hokoku-ji Temple is famous for its beautiful bamboo forest. The country known as “The Temple of the Bamboo Garden” has long been famous for its bamboo groves in the precincts, and it is one of the most popular temples in Kamakura. Let's take a moment and enjoy the feeling of a mind’s clutter washed away, in an environment of calm and coolness.
Kamakura’s famous "Daibutsu" is located here. Make sure to take a great shot of this towering Buddha with your smartphone!
Enjoy the majestic Eleven statues of Kannon and Yuigahama scenery from their observation deck. You can also enjoy the hydrangeas in June.
The Enoshima Electric Railway tracks pass in front of the torii gate. The train passes once every five minutes, so please stop to capture this unique sight with your own camera, a sight which can only be seen at this place, where the train crosses behind a torii.
Enjoy the local food while gazing out at the magnificent Pacific Ocean and the beautiful sandy beaches in the foreground.
We go along the Yuigahama coastline. Enjoy the scenic Pacific ocean view!
You can also buy some tasty prepared foods and homemade bread to enjoy later at your hotel, so don’t hesitate to pick up some goodies.

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.
