What To Expect

1. Taya Caves Taya Caves is a sacred gem of Buddhist carvings in the grounds of Josen-ji. The maze of halls and galleries is decorated with hundreds of reliefs carved into the rock, picturing Buddhist deities, past masters of Buddhism, famous temples, real and fantastic animals, mandalas, zodiac signs, and family crests. The caves were excavated and sculpted by Shingon Buddhist monks between the Kamakura period (1192-1333) and the Edo period (1603-1868). 1 hour

2. Enoshima Island Enoshima is a pleasantly touristy island just off the coast but connected by bridge with the mainland. It offers a variety of attractions, including a shrine, park, and observation tower. Views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed on days with good visibility. 3 hours

3. Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura) The Great Buddha of Kamakura is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha in the grounds of Kotokuin Temple. Standing 11.4 meters high, it has long been the second tallest bronze Buddha statue in Japan, surpassed only by the statue in Nara's Todaiji Temple. The statue was cast in 1252 and originally located inside a large temple hall. However, the temple buildings were destroyed multiple times by typhoons and a tsunami in the 14th and 15th centuries so since the late 15th century, the Buddha has been standing in the open air. 2 hours

4. Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is Kamakura's most important shrine. It was founded by Minamoto Yoriyoshi in 1063, and enlarged and moved to its current site in 1180 by Minamoto Yoritomo, the founder and first shogun of the Kamakura government. The shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, the patron god of the Minamoto family and of the samurai in general. The deified spirits of the ancient Emperor Ojin who has been identified with Hachiman, Hime-gami and Empress Jingu are enshrined at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. 2 hours
