Escape the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and experience the charm of history, culture, mountains and sea on a day trip to Kamakura. Start with a visit to the highlight of Kamakura, the Great Buddha. This magnificent bronze statue stands at 13.35m and is a symbol of Japan's rich Buddhist culture and the second tallest bronze Buddha in the country (own admission fee). Next, board the charming Enoden train, which is more than 100 years old. Passing through the sights and streets of Kamakura along the Shonan coast, you will explore the unique atmosphere and color of the place. Stop at Kamakura High School, experience the iconic railway crossings and roads, and stroll along the beach to soak up the sunshine and listen to the sound of the waves. If the weather is good, you may even be able to see Mount Fuji directly. Then, visit Enoshima Shrine, built by the imperial order of Emperor Kinmei in 552. See the colorful eight-armed Benzaiten, the nationally designated cultural asset of the Eight-Treasure Turtle by Fujiwara Masahiro, and the bronze torii gate that is said to be the origin of Enoshima. Finally, head to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura to visit a shrine that embodies the spirit of Japan. See the magnificent torii gates, beautiful gardens, and historical architecture that are symbols of samurai heritage and prosperity, and immerse yourself in traditional ceremonies and a tranquil environment. Finally, stroll along Komachi-dori, which runs from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine to Kamakura Station. Enjoy the atmosphere of this bustling old street, a distinctive street in the heart of the ancient capital. ~Schedule for the day~8:00 JR Tokyo Station Marunouchi North Exit8:30 Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Shinjuku West Exit Branch10:00 Kamakura Great Buddha10:50 Enoshima Train11:00 Kamakura High School11:50 Enoshima / Enoshima Shrine14:30 Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine / Komachi-dori15:30 Head home17:30 End of the schedule (JR Tokyo Station Marunouchi North Exit, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Shinjuku West Exit)
