Itinerary
Hase temple is a sightseeing spot which is as famous as Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and Kenchoji temple. Flowers are colored every seasons and it has been known as a temple of flowers since ancient times. You can experience traditional Japanese culture in this place
The Great Buddha of Kamakura is an outdoor bronze statue of Amida Buddha located on the grounds of Kotoku-in Temple in Kanagawa Prefecture. Standing at the height of approximately 13.35 meters, it is one of the largest and the most renowned bronze Buddha statues in Japan. Once housed in a huge hall, the Great Buddha today sits in the open air because the building was washed away by a tsunami in 1498.
This is a famous tourist site as Bamboo temple in Kamakura. There is a large and splendid bamboo garden in the precincts of the temple. We can feel cool and mysterious atmosphere on it.
The shrine situated in the middle of the city centre is Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. For centuries, it was venerated as the home of gods of war.
Stroll the street for food and unique shops of Komachi Dori

This was an excellent tour. Our guide Yoshi met us at the train station and efficiently took us to see the giant Buddha, the Buddhist temple and the Shinto Shrine. He was very knowledgeable and shared stories from the Shogun era. He shared a lot of info with us. We would recommend this tour.
Yumi was amazing! Super nice and very knowledgeable. Beautiful area, highly recommend. Bamboo forest by shrine was way cool.
Thank you for a wonderful trip to kamakura with Kono San. We enjoyed the day and your company. Thanks for sharing the photos with us. Would definitely recommend this day trip from Tokyo
Harry San is a kind and interesting guide, who clearly prepared for our tour. And the sites in Kamakura are amazing. Great day!!
My guests arrived punctually at JR Kamakura Station West Exit. How commendable Catherine-san is, as she bought at Hase Temple a "Driver's Safety Charm" (o-ma-mo-ri お守り) for her car-racer husband in Texas. Stephanie-san's Darwin life working 2 years must be of immense interest, as "Harry" is often reminiscing his decade years spent in Perth and Sydney. Handsome Great Buddha must have welcomed heartily my two amiable guests resembling "阿弥陀如来"＜AMIDA-NYORAI>.
Great experience in Kamakura and ended up in Yokohama for a short experience on gondola lift at Sakuragi-cho station. Our private tour guide from JGA, Yasuho Suzuki san, is very good and spoke very well english. My wife and I really enjoyed.
Thank you for joining our tour. We are happy to get 5 stars and great review. We hope you have a lot of memories in Japan.
