Embark on a private day trip to Kamakura, the ancient capital blending samurai heritage and Zen tradition.
After hotel pickup in Tokyo, begin at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, where tranquil grounds reflect centuries of history. Continue to Hasedera Temple, known for its wooden halls, gardens, and sweeping coastal views, then visit the Great Buddha of Kōtoku-in, a 13th-century bronze statue standing in quiet grandeur.
After a pause for lunch at a local restaurant, head to Enoshima Island with its shrines, beaches, and ocean vistas. End the day with the option of a relaxing Onsen, a fitting close to Kamakura’s mix of history, culture, and nature.
Onsen Notes:
• All onsens we visit are tattoo friendly
• Private baths can be reserved on request, around 13,000 JPY for two hours, subject to availability
