Overview

Discover the former capital of Japan on a day trip to Kamakura from Tokyo. Learn about the city's history and culture, and enjoy the local cuisine.

Take a 60-minute car ride from Tokyo to Kamakura. Visit the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, which was founded in 1063.

Continue to the Kotokuin Temple, home to the Great Buddha of Kamakura. Admire the 13-meter-tall bronze statue, which dates back to 1252.

Stroll through the Komachi Street, a shopping street lined with local shops and restaurants. Enjoy a delicious lunch of locally grown vegetables and fresh seafood from the nearby sea.

After lunch, visit the Hasedera Temple, which is known for its beautiful gardens and the 9.18-meter-tall wooden statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy.

Finish your tour with a visit to the Hokoku-ji temple, which is famous for its beautiful bamboo garden. Take in the views of the sea and the surrounding mountains before returning to Tokyo.

Activity itinerary

Hokokuji Temple (Takedera Temple)

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
Visitors to Kamakura tend to overlook this lovely little Zen temple of the Rinzai sect that was built in 1334, but it's worth a look. This temple is also famous for the beautiful bamboos. About 2000 bamboos make the place a photographers paradise.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

  • 40m
This shrine is dedicated to the legendary emperor Ojin, his wife, and his mother. It later became the head shrine of Minamoto Yoritomo, the founder and first shogun of the Kamakura government.

Hase-dera Temple

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The only temple in Kamakura facing the sea, this is one of the most beautiful temples when it comes to seasonal flowers. And the largest carved-wood statue in Japan is enshrined.

Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Great Buddha of Kamakura (Kamakura Daibutsu) is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha, which stands on the grounds of Kotokuin Temple. The statue was cast in 1252, three centuries before Europeans reached Japan.
