In evidenza
Kamakura is where Japan’s first samurai government was established about 840 years ago. As you explore the area, you can discover why the samurai chose this location as their political center. The city is filled with historic temples and shrines, and on this tour we visit three of the most popular sites: the Great Buddha, Hasedera Temple, and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. We finish at Komachi Street, where you can enjoy shopping, try local snacks right at the storefronts, or sit down for lunch at one of the many restaurants. The street is also known for its charming craft and accessory shops. In the afternoon, we offer two tour options. Option 1: “A Scenic Coastal Journey to Popular Enoshima” Enoshima is famous for its shrine dedicated to the goddess of entertainment, music, wisdom, and good fortune. Option 2: “A Journey into the Heart of Japanese Spiritual Culture” Discover the deeper side of Japanese culture in Kamakura, including a Zen meditation experience at the high-rank temple.

Itinerario
At the Great Buddha of Kamakura, you can view the statue up close and take photos. If you wish, you can also enter inside the statue to see its inner structure. The Buddha was built in the 13th century, about 750 years ago. The surrounding area also offers pleasant walking paths and small souvenir shops.
Hasedera Temple is famous for its seasonal flowers, especially the beautiful hydrangea path. The Eleven‑Faced Kannon statue is breathtaking, and the viewing terrace offers a wide panorama of Yuigahama Beach. It’s a peaceful place that captures the essence of Kamakura.
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, founded in 1063, is the most iconic shrine in Kamakura. Its impressive torii gate, long approach, and majestic main hall create a truly traditional atmosphere. The grounds include serene ponds and a peaceful forest, offering a beautiful place to experience Kamakura’s history and culture.
Komachi Street is a lively 0.4‑mile shopping street located between Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and JR Kamakura Station. Lined with cafés, sweet shops, and boutiques, it’s perfect for strolling, snacking, and picking up souvenirs. It’s an inviting stop as you walk back toward the station.

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.
