Overview

Embark on a journey to Kamakura, the ancient capital melding samurai heritage and Zen tranquility. After private pickup from your Tokyo hotel, you’ll arrive at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine to explore serene grounds and witness time-honored rituals. Next, visit Hasedera Temple, admired for its wooden architecture, lush gardens, and sweeping coastal views. Marvel at the colossal Great Buddha at Kōtoku-in, a 13th-century bronze statue standing in silent grandeur.

Pause for lunch at a local restaurant to savour authentic Kamakura flavours. In the afternoon, cross a venture to Enoshima Island, where shrines, beaches, and breathtaking ocean vistas await. Throughout the day, immerse yourself in Kamakura’s blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Conclude, if you wish, with a relaxing onsen, letting soothing waters restore body and spirit.
