You can best enjoy Kamakura during flower season, especially Hydrangeas in June. Kamakura is about 1 hour trip from Tokyo and you will have an overwhelming experience. I would like to propose you a Hydrangea Viewing Tour to Hasedera-Temple. Hasedera has Hydrangeas with a variety of colors. This tour includes Kotokuin Temple (Great Buddha), Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shirine, and Komachi Shopping Street.
If you are interested in this tour, please make a reservation from my tour page. This is first-come first-served system, and I am looking forward to inquiring from you.
