Enkakuji-temple / arrive at the Kitakamakura station
We will start our journey in Kamakura from this station! And for the first spot where we visit is Enkakuji-temple. It is 5 minutes walk from the station. There are many attractions, such as the Engakuji Temple Shariden, a national treasure building, the Hongjong bell, also a national treasure, and many other cultural assets.
Jochiji-temple
In addition to the hydrangeas and the famous round window, there are many other attractions on the temple grounds. The dry landscape garden in front of the main hall, the bamboo grove, and the thatched-roof Kaisando-Do (temple hall) are also very atmospheric. There is also the tomb of Hojo Tokiyori, the “Tsurube no Ii,” one of the ten wells in Kamakura, and the “Meigetsuin Yagura,” one of the largest yagura (graves of medieval warriors and monks dug in a hole in a rock wall) in Kamakura.
Lunch at Kamakura
I will book any restaurants you want to eat so please send me the request about what kind of food you want to eat. I cannot guarantee your reservation, but I will do my best to accommodate your wishes.
Jyokoumeiji-temple
It is one of the largest old wooden buildings in Kamakura and is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. The gate is also the largest gate of a temple in Kamakura. Climbing the hill at the back of the temple, visitors can enjoy a spectacular view of the Zaimokuza coast, the Inamuragasaki area, and Mt. Fuji in the distance. The temple grounds, which can be viewed at a leisurely pace, are decorated with many cherry trees in bloom in the spring.
Tusruokahachimangu-temple
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine is said to offer various benefits such as “luck in victory, work, and success in life,” “easy childbirth,” and “marriage and good fortune. This is because there are several shrines enshrining various deities within the shrine's precincts. It is said to be a powerful power spot because if you visit all the shrines, you can obtain various blessings.
Komachi-street
It is a shopping street that starts right outside the East Exit of Kamakura Station and continues all the way to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. The small street is filled with the charm of Kamakura, and is lined with stores offering Japanese sweets such as green tea sweets and dango dumplings, seafood stores such as Shonan's specialty shirasu-don (whitebait rice bowl), and restaurants such as old private house cafes.

Kamakura Tour Reviews
Sujith S.
Golden Route of major sightseeing spots in Kamakura
“Perfect day trip exploring hidden gems of Asakusa and Ueno”
Yoshie is amazing ! She guided me throughout the trip and helped me explore some local Japanese places that took me apart !! Def recommend her to anyone who’s planning to walk and explore Japan from its heart and culture. You’ll visit places that aren’t touristy and will blend into the culture of Japan. The craft beer shop she took me to will be closest to my heart for a very long time.

(3 reviews)Hi, Sujith. Thank you for writing very worm and kind review to me. Today I had the very high quality time. I am so happy to hear that you liked my tour! See you again at your second trip in Japan!
“Exploring Tsukiji Like a Local: Best Guide Ever!”
She’s an awesome guide! Honestly, I think going to Tsukiji alone would’ve been pretty lonely. But she made it feel like I was exploring with a friend, showing me all the best spots with such a fun vibe. There are a lot of similar shops, but she pointed out ones with a century of history and some hidden gems that weren’t even crowded. The sashimi place she recommended me was super delicious. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was—she had everything ready, from wet wipes to trash bags and even sweat wipes, so I could just enjoy the experience. Next time I’m in Japan, I definitely want her to show me around again.
