The essence of Kamakura - A half-day trip to another world

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 900 yen (adult) or 450 yen (age 6-12) per person.

Bamboo Temple requires an admission fee, 300 yen per person, if you take a tea (powdered green 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 950 yen per person on JR Shonan-Shinjuku Line）

I can guide you in Kamakura if you pay my transportation fee.

I'm sure a serene atmosphere of Kamakura will greatly impress you.

At first, the open-air Great Buddha, must-see of Kamakura, will be your unforgettable scene. Then, at our second spot, a bamboo grove will introduce you to "Zen" world. If you'd like, you can have a cup of powdered green tea (Matcha) with a small japanese sweet in a teahouse looking at bamboo trees (←I recommend this ! ). And, at the third spot, Shogun's shrine (Shogun is samourai leader), I'll tell you a story of two ponds of the precinct. One is so-called "lucky" pond and another is "unlucky" one. Why ? and how ? This shrine still reflects wishes of The First Shogun more than 800 yeas ago ! And.....I'm looking forward to seeing you and telling the story of the two ponds !!
