Kamakura, Japan

JGA Inc.

Experience the untamed essence of Kamakura through a guided 6-hour hiking adventure led by an expert local guide. Customize your journey according to personal preferences and interests during this flexible exploration.



One hour distance from Tokyo, Kamakura holds significant cultural importance as the heartland of Japanese warriors. Upon arrival, travelers may choose either their accommodation or nearest railway station as starting points. Following this, an excursion into the Daibutsu Trail beckons, stretching three and seven-eighths miles (six kilometers) along its route through the majestic Great Buddha statue in the south and the Jochi-ji Zen temple toward the northern end. This path traverses past the unique "money washing" shrine at Zeniarai Benten, allowing visitors to opt for a shorter detour to Jufuku-ji, the inaugural among the five major Zen temples in Kamakura. Adjacent landmarks include the temples of Engaku-ji and Kencho-ji. For those desiring a more extended exploration, the Tennen trail offers a further ascent, concluding near the fifth and final of these sacred structures.

Tailored tours are available upon request, accommodating individual preferences. Simply inform the local partner regarding desired activities, preferred start times, and lodging details, ensuring your comprehensive six-hour itinerary is customized accordingly by your licensed national guide.
