Kamakura

Kamakura is a quiet little town located about an hour from Tokyo by metro/train.

Just take a day to cycle around the city and discover the Giant Buddha, some very beautiful temples, a small town center (with a Ghibli shop !!) and a very nice beach !

A real "coup de coeur", this is a place not to be missed during your trip to Japan! A word of warning: you must chill and not hurry! Something you don't necessarily take the time to do when you visit Tokyo ;).

Not to be missed

  • Hase Dera temple

    Hase Dera is a very nice Buddhist temple and it is very representative of the idea we have of traditional temples. Lots of small and very nice statuettes, a superb view from the top.

  • Kamakura daibutsu

    The giant Buddha of Kamakura is probably the most visited monument in town, it is worth seeing visitors praying in front of the Buddha. Very deep and spiritual moments!

  • Tsurugaoka hachimangu

    A very important Shinto shrine built in 1063.

  • Bamboo plantation of Hōkoku-ji

    A temple present in a bamboo forest, a calm and restful place.

  • Ghibli shop

    Fan of the Ghibli studio and famous Miyazaki's animes? There is a small shop in Kamakura selling your Totoro and Co. goodies.

  • Waterfront

    Kamakura is a seaside town, so it's also a very nice beach at one hour from Tokyo!
