Explore the connection between the Samurai Government and Buddhism!

The Kamakura Shogunate, established by Minamoto no Yoritomo in 1192, marked the beginning of feudal military government. This period was characterized by the rise of the samurai class and the establishment of a feudal system. It was also marked by both the patronage of Buddhism by the ruling class and the rise of new Buddhist movements that catered to the spiritual needs of the samurai and common people alike. We will explore these facts by visiting some temples and shrines.

Kamakura was the seat of the Bakufu (feudal government) from the 12th century to the 14th century. Many samurai warriors as well as commoners came and went. Kamakura is surrounded by mountains and they would walk across them. Unfortunately, with urbanization, almost all roads are now paved and widened. But you still can walk on the hill side. You can walk an old road between Yokohama (Mutsura) and Kamakura. This road is actually the same as the one used in the 12th century.

Kamakura, let's explore the traditional town!

“Yoshi was the Best!”

We booked 3 days with Yoshi. We told him that we would like to see all the highlights of Tokyo, and he delivered. We are in our mid 60's and Yoshi was older, but I swear he would win the Men's Olympic 400-meter race. He was very knowledgeable about Tokyo, Japanese history, and the subway system. While doing the special areas of North, South, East, and West Tokyo, it was Kamakura that we were in love with. We took the subway, train and bus to get there, and the sites were magical. Yoshi introduced us to Tempura, Macha, Wasabi and best of all, Wagyu. He tried to get us to try sushi, but he was unsuccessful. He did, however, show us the samples in the fish and food markets. If we were to good back to Japan I would definitely try to book Yoshi again. He was wonderful. 5 stars!

Hi Myrna, tahnk you for your warm message. Looking forward to seeing you again! Yoshi

My husband and I had wonderful day tour in Kamakura. We have got to know about the history of Kamakura. We have enjoyed having tea ceremony with Yasuko. Thank you so much Yasuko

Yacco M.

Thank you very much for your kind review, Indra-san. I was also surprised by the long line at the bamboo temple today; however, seeing how the bamboo grows gave us a wonderful sense of energy. I’m so glad we could enjoy a peaceful matcha experience in such a tranquil setting. Thanks to you, I was also able to discover places connected to the friendship between Japan and your home country that I had not known before, and I truly had a wonderful time. I sincerely hope you continue to have a wonderful journey. Thank you again. Yacco
