From Tokyo, only one hour train ride takes you to another world, Kamakura, an ancient capital of samurais.Their spirit of "Zen" still remains anywhere. The passage of time is quite different from the one of megapolis Tokyo. I think three spots express the essence of Kamakura, Great Buddha (Kotoku-in Temple), Bamboo Temple (Hokoku-ji Temple) and First Shogun's Shrine (Tsuru-ga-oka Hachiman Guu).
Feel free to personalize this offer with Itsumi.
guide fee
transportation fee ("One-Day-Pass)(you and guide), entrance fee (temples)
This tour depends on the calender of the temples
Kamakura would force you to walk more than you imagine. We'll take a bus and a local train, but each temple and shrine has the large precincts. I recommend comfortable shoes.
We need One-Day-Pass(Kamakura Kankyo Tegata)to move by bus and train. Please pay 600 yen (adult) or 300 yen (age 6-12) per person (you ang guide).
Bamboo Temple requires an admission fee, 300 yen per person, if you take a tea there, plus 600 yen per person, please.
At the temple of Great Buddha, the entrance fee is 300 yen or 150 yen (age 6-12) per person.
(About your transportation fee to Kamakura, for example, from Shinjuku to Kamakura, it costs about 1,000 yen per person on JR Shonan-Shinjuku Line)
