Overview

Kamakura is a famous tourist destination visited by people throughout the year. The reason why Kamakura is attractive is related to the 12-14th centuries. At that time, powerful samurais were carrying out Japanese politics in Kamakura. The city is very prosperous, and buildings such as majestic shrines were built to show their power. When the politics in Kamakura is over, the popularity of the precious shrines and temples that remain in the rich nature will increase, and it will be revived as a tourist destination from the 17th century. And even today, a rich cultural atmosphere has surprised and impressed people. This tour will introduce the most popular spots in Kamakura in one day.

Enjoyed the tour with experienced and knowledgeable tour Guid Rumi, learned the history of Temples and Shrines. Visited four of them out of 5 because it was tiresome for us walking a lot. The favorite one was Meigetsuin Temple of clear Moon. Great Buddha was also impressive.
