geschichtliche Stadt Kamakura

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 !!

Kamakura One-day - The Essence of Japanese Arts & Culture

You can learn what Kamakura Shogunate was like by visiting three main sites:  Koutoku-in  (The Breat Buddha), Hase Temple, and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu.  Through this trip, you will learn what Samurai means to Japan and what newly born Buddhism sects during the Kamakura period influenced common people.  You will also see the nature in Kamakura where many kinds of trees and plants are flourished.  

Highlight of each site is as follows:  

1.  The Great Budda, "Daibutsu" of Kamakura is a bronze image of Amida.  It is registered as a national treasure.  The idea of constructing the great  image was first conceived by Minamoto Yoritomo, the first Shogun of the Kamakura government.  
2.  An eleven-headed Kannon statue housed in Hase Temple.  It is so big as it seems uneasy to sit in the temple house.  It was curved with camphor tree in Nara and drifted to Kamakura shore in 736.  It is said that the Kannon might save people from agony and suffering of this world.  
3.  The structure and location of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu: The bright orange building built on the top of the steep slope and faces to the direction of the sea below.

Kamakura Day Hike with Local Expert

Je suis sûre que l'atmosphère sereine de Kamakura, l'ancienne capitale, est impressionnante. 
D'abord, le Grand Bouddha en plein air, à ne pas manquer à Kamakura, deviendra votre scène inoubliable. Ensuite, à notre deuxième endroit, le bois de bambou vous entraînera au monde du "Zen". Si vous voulez, vous pouvez prendre une tasse de thé vert en poudre (Matcha) avec de petits gateaux japonais au refuge regardant des arbres de bambou (ce n'est pas la cérémonie du thé, simplement on boit du Matcha, mais je le recommande, un moment agréable ! ). Et enfin, nous irons au troisième endroit, le sanctuaire du Premier Shogun ("Shogun" est samourai leader). Kamakura, comme capitale des samourai,  a commencé de là. Le Shogun a eu son rival. L'histoire de leur guerre s'est encore réfléchi dans l'enceinte du sanctuaire. Je vous parlerai de l'histoire des deux étangs du sanctuaire. L'un est ce qu'on appelle "Bonheur", et l'autre est "Malheur". Pourquoi ?  Le Shogun a exprimé son souhait sur les deux étangs il y a 800 ans et aujourd'hui, on peut le voir ! Et puis.....je voudrais vous voir aussitôt que possible et continuer l'histoire de ces deux étangs !!
