What makes Kamakura Historical and Cultural Day Trip with Local Cuisine a unique experience ?
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.
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.
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.
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.
