Haunted Kamakura

Hiking and Bamboo Forests in Kamakura!! 4-Hour Tour With a Historian

You can walk an old road between Yokohama (Mutsura) and Kamakura. Along the road, I can explain about the history and background at every point of interest. This tour involves hiking, especially at the hillside. This road is actually the same as the one used in the 12th century and you may feel samurai warriors' spirits. Spring and Autumn may be the best times for this tour, but winter is still good because there are fewer people then. We can visit Kumano-Jinja shirine at the top of the hill which was established by Minamoto no Yoritomo. He was the first Shogun in the Kamakura feudal government.

Walking tour along an old Kamakura samurai road

Kamakura is surrounded by small mountains, which protected this first Samurai government against enemies. Zeniarai-Benten shrine is in a cave in this mountain area.  Among Japanese, it is famous for its washing money ritual. But it is located in some 30 minutes walk from Kamakura station, so it is difficult to reach without help, especially for foreigners. I will guide you to this sacred and nature-rich area through an ancient mountain pass. 
Before this small hiking, I can show you Tsurugaoka-Hachiman-gu shrine and Komachi-dori shopping street.  After hiking, you will get to famous Great Buddha and Hase-dera temple.

Small hiking in Kamakura to feel its ancient atomosphere

On this tour, in the morning, we'll visit Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine which was founded by the first shogun of the first military government in Japanese history, and Great Buddha, which was constructed in the 13th century and is a symbol of Kamakura with a tender smile on its face. Then we'll take the Enoden Line, one of the most famous and characterful local railways in Japan, to Enoshima station. A little walk from the station is Enoshima Island, an island of the legend of a dragon and sea goddess, with three tutelary shrines for three goddesses of marine transportation, fishing, and traffic. The island has recently been very popular among many young couples as a power spot as well. On top of the island we can climb up on a lighthouse with a nickname of Sea Candle, the best scenary lookout to view the ocean and the coast line of Sagami Bay, and  if you are lucky, Mt. Fuji!!
