Visit the coastal city of Kamakura to see the Shinto shrines, Buddhist zen temples, and the 13-meter high Buddhist statue that’s still standing after the high tsunami of the 15th century.
Kamakura is a historic coastal city just 1 hour by train from Tokyo. Several temples, shrines and hiking trails make Kamakura a perfect day trip excursion for Tokyoites. In Kamakura, we’ll take the old-style electric train “Enoden” to Hase. Hase is famous for its beautiful garden and is also home to the impressive 13-meter high Buddhist statue of Kamakura and the Hase-dera Temple. We will also check out the fantastic views of Kamakura Bay and see the Jizo statues. Shirasu, known as whitebait, is the specialty of Kamakura. We will try it for lunch, and then we will visit a small bamboo forest to enjoy a cup of hot matcha tea. Then, we will visit one of the most important zen temples in Japan. The last stop will be the great Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, the city’s most important shrine founded in 1063.
