About this tour
Kamakura is a seaside town about an hour from Tokyo by train. Around 800 years ago it was the seat of Japan's first samurai government, and many of its temples and shrines were founded at that time.
Our first stop is Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, the town's main shrine. Between the shrine and the station runs Komachi-dori, a busy street of food stalls and small shops, where we have lunch and snacks.
Then a small old-style train takes us to Hase and the Great Buddha. It's a bronze statue more than 11 meters tall that sits outdoors, and you can go inside it.
From Hase the train runs along the beach to Enoshima, a small island joined to the land by a bridge. It has shrines, steep stairs and views over the sea, and on clear days you can see Mt. Fuji. We end the day there with dinner.
