Experience an immersive journey through time by exploring the historical heart of Japan, once the stronghold of the esteemed samurai warriors.

This unforgettable adventure promises to transport you to a world steeped in tradition and tranquility.
During the period from December 31st, 2023, through January 4th, 2024, due to traffic restrictions near Kamakura Station, visitors may opt for alternative modes of transportation such as trams or buses instead of walking to explore various attractions in this historic coastal town.
Departing from multiple points within central Tokyo, passengers should board shuttle buses at designated stops. Following this, proceed toward Kamakura via the bustling streets leading to the city’s ancient past. Begin your journey by strolling along Wakamiya Street, known for its rich history dating back to the 12th and 14th centuries, before heading towards Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine, Kamakura's foremost Shinto sanctuary.
After visiting the shrine, allow ample time to leisurely browse the vibrant atmosphere of Komachi Street, an area renowned for its diverse array of local culinary delights, including fresh seafood, traditional snacks, and souvenir shops.
Your next destination awaits at Hase-dera, a revered Buddhist site housing the magnificent 11-heads Kannon statue, celebrated as one of Kamakura's largest wooden sculptures. From the observatory platform situated atop the hill, marvel at the captivating panoramic views overlooking the coastline.
Continuing your exploration, make your way to the Kotoku Temple, characterized by its colossal bronze Buddha statue, declared a National Treasure by the Japanese government. This towering figure stands at 11.3 meters high and weighs approximately 121 tons.
As your itinerary concludes, set forth on a serene journey aboard Enoshima Island, a compact island situated west of Kamakura. Here, numerous shrines are scattered throughout the landscape, honoring the deity Benten, who embodies prosperity, abundance, music, and wisdom. On clear days, take advantage of the opportunity to appreciate the breathtaking vistas of Mount Fuji from the island's shores!.
