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

Walking tour along an old Kamakura samurai road
Kamakura was the seat of the Bakufu (feudal government) from the 12th century to the 14th century. Many samurai warriors as well as commoners came and went. Kamakura is surrounded by mountains and they would walk across them. Unfortunately, with urbanization, almost all roads are now paved and widened. But you still can walk on the hill side.
You can walk an old road between Yokohama (Mutsura) and Kamakura. This road is actually the same as the one used in the 12th century.

Kamakura-une demi journée dans le monde enchanté !
Il y a 800 ans, la ville de Kamakura était la capitale du Japon sous le gouvernement de samourai. En train, de Tokyo, par exemple Shinjuku, il faut environ une heure. Il y reste encore l'esprit du "Zen" partout. Je crois que trois endroits expriment l'essence de Kamakura, le Grand Bouddha (Kotoku-in ), le Temple de Bambou (Hokoku-ji) et le sanctuaire du Premier Shogun (Tsuru-ga-oka Hachiman Guu).
