Zen philosophy will be explored at this peaceful temple. You can enjoy a beautiful pebbled garden and enjoy listening to the birds and nature in peace as Jomyoji is slightly off the beaten path.
Hokokuji is most famous for a stunning bamboo forest of over 2000 trees, reminiscent of Arashiyama in Kyoto. Make your way through narrow paths in the bamboo forest to a teahouse where you will enjoy refreshing green tea.
Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine is the biggest and most impressive shrine in the area and is known widely as the guardian deity of the warrior (samurai). At the shrine of Yukari Yoritomo you learn about the Kamakura shogunate during Japan's first samurai regime. Around the approach at Genpei pond in the spring you can find stunning cherry blossoms in full bloom. There is also a very impressive as well as festive display of traditional samurai known as "Yabusame (Horseback archery)." The area is said to be spiritually strong, and a large ginkgo tree that fell due to strong winds now has elongating shoots. This has gained popularity as a symbol of regeneration. Under the savvy of your guide, enjoy to your heart's content the ancient capital of Kamakura.
Komachi Street is a vibrant shopping street filled with trendy boutiques, cute cafes and lots of souvenirs. Explore the street and all the alleys alongside it which contain hidden quirky shops and historic buildings.

A quaint village outside of Tokyo, we had a nice time visiting and taking in the sights. Great shopping street as well!
Thank you so much for joining the tour and your wonderful review! I’m glad that you enjoyed exploring historical spots in Kamakura with Mana. I hope you will come back to Japan and explore hidden gems again. I’m looking forward to seeing you next time!
Yoko was our tour guide and she did a fantastic job. We saw all he highlights of Kamakura and everything was explained very well. We had just come from Tokyo and were looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of the place, so this was the perfect day trip. We were well cared for and Yoko knew what places were okay to eat for Muslims who wanted to eat halal or non-pork/non meat food. 10/10 and I recommend this tour to anyone coming to Kamakura in a small group.
Thank you for joining our tour and your wonderful review! I am really happy to hear that you enjoyed Kamakura, and our whole tour! I hope you come visit Japan again! We're looking forward to seeing you! Moeko
<p>the tour was amazing and food was great and every thing served was halal and guide was making sure of that. Also the guide English was pretty good and could understand him easily and he was 100 friendly and enjoyed talking with him our whole tour. the city was very quite and sceneries was breath taking. the temples looked very beautiful and I wont forget walking though the bamboo forest for sure.<br/> after the main parts of the tour we went shopping and the tour guide was so kind to help me pick gifts for the family and we stopped at each place I wanted without any complaints about time or any thing.</p> <p>luckily we even got to meet a local singing contest in one of the temples and even I cant understand a word of Japanese I enjoyed way too much that I should lol.</p> <p>10/10 would recommend this tour to friends and even non Muslim tourists.</p>
