This is the trip to visit all popular sight-seeing spots and have local snacks in Kamakura in a day. We will visit the most popular spots, not only Tsurugaoka Hachiman shrine and Great Buddha temple, Kotokuin but also Hase temple from which you can command panoramic sea view of Sagami bay.

At the East exit of Kamakura station of Yokosuka line
Tsurugaoka Hachiman shrine was built by an ancestor of the Minamoto clan to enshrine the family deity, who later became the guardian deity of Kamakura Shogunate and its warriors.
The Great Buddha of Kamakura is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha, which stands on the grounds of Kotoku-in Temple.
The Great Buddha of Kotoku-in Temple has been designated a National Treasure.
This temple is called “the temple of flowers” because it is full of flowers all year around, wisteria, peony and azalea and called “the pure land in Kamakura”. The temple boasts a wealth of other sights related to Buddhism as well: a statue of Amida Buddha, Daikokuten, an image believed to help with success in life; a garden full of Jizo statues; and a cave containing images of goddess Benten and her disciples. No wonder that Hase-dera is said to be like a department store of Buddhism.
We can command the panoramic view of the pacific ocean together with the view of Enoshima island and Mt. Fuji from the top of the hill in the park. (Skip this destination during winter time)
This is a small island situated slightly west of Kamakura and has a little bit of everything-making it the all-in-one holiday spot.

(24 reviews)Dear Kris san Thank you very much for your comment on my tour. It is regret that Mt Fuji was covered with cloud all day long and missed the chance to enjoy beautiful and elegant Mt Fuji. If you have chance to come back to Japan, I really want to show you beautiful Mt Fuji clearly. Thanks Nao
“An amazing guide for an amazing place!”
Nao-san was extremely helpful in navigating us during our tour. As an engineer, it was amazing thing to visit the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel (G-Cans). Nao-san helped with both the casual and technical interpretation throughout our tour, and on top of this, made us feel very welcome! I highly recommend him!!

“4 days with Nao san”
If you’re looking for something with perfect English who understands everything you say, then Nao is not for you. But if you’re looking for an excellent guide who will make your dream itineraries come true, then Nao san is for you. Nao is professional, flexible, and knowledgeable. He worked very hard so that I could see everything on my list in Tokyo, and even took us somewhere we didn’t expect: who knew there was a Statue of Liberty by Tokyo Harbor?!! The Tokyo National Park was closed when we got there, and he came back to Tokyo the next day to take us there. That’s above and beyond! In Nikko, he checked the boat schedule so that we had the time to see everything, and again, he made everything fit into our day. Thank you, Nao san, for an unforgettable expérience!
