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.

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.
