Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, relocated and expanded by Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun, in 1180, is the most important shrine in Kamakura and the spiritual heart of the samurai era. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom along the Dankazura approach, and in summer, the Genpei-ike ponds fill with pink and white lotus. In the spacious grounds, I will share trivia and stories from its long history. If you are lucky, you may also see a traditional wedding or children in pretty kimonos—living proof that these traditions are still alive today, giving you a chance to feel closer to Japan’s history and traditions.

Upon request, some stops on the itinerary can be replaced with places such as Hōkoku-ji, famous for its beautiful bamboo grove.

Hase-dera, a historic temple said to have been founded in the 8th century, is known as the “Temple of Flowers.” The grounds feature well-tended gardens and charming small Jizo statues, and from its hillside terrace, you can enjoy sweeping views of Kamakura and the sea. In the main hall stands the majestic Eleven-Headed Kannon statue, adding to the temple’s spiritual presence. The temple is beautiful year-round, but from late May to June, it becomes especially stunning, when about 40 varieties and over 2,500 hydrangeas burst into color along the paths.

To reach the Main Hall (Kannon-do), there are about 100 to 120 steps from the entrance. If you continue to the Prospect Path (Hydrangea Path, especially in June) located behind the temple, please note there are an additional 130 steps

Be sure to take lots of photos!

Located just a short walk from Hase-dera (near the "Tanaka Barber Shop"), this specific railroad crossing is one of the most memorable locations in the series.

This is where the two characters wander through the narrow streets in search of a restaurant. Fans will vividly remember the poignant cut where the Enoden train passes by, and as it clears the tracks, Ho-jin has mysteriously vanished from sight.

Goryo Shrine holds a special place in the drama as the location where Mu-jin returns the smartphone to Ho-jin. Founded in the late Heian period, this historic shrine is dedicated to the legendary warrior Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa.

The most iconic feature here is the breathtaking sight of the Enoden train passing just inches away from the shrine's white stone torii gate. With trains running every 10 to 15 minutes, it is one of the best spots to capture Kamakura’s unique atmosphere. In early summer, the scene is further enhanced by blooming hydrangeas, creating a stunning "triple harmony" of the train, the gate, and the flowers.

Gokurakuji Station is the backdrop for the story of Mu-hui and Ho-jin. The poignant scene of the two passing each other — both inside the Enoden train and on the station platform — serves as a beautiful foreshadowing of their journey ahead.

Opened in 1904, this charming wooden station was selected as one of the "Top 100 Stations in the Kanto Region" in 1999. Surrounded by lush mountains and greenery, its tranquil atmosphere has made it a favorite filming location for numerous films and dramas over the
