-What You Can Expect-
Visit the shrine which is also known as "Kamakura Hachimangu Shrine" and is recognized as one of the three principal Hachimangu Shrines in Japan. The shrine's solemn appearance, pleasant scenery, and enjoyable weather throughout the four seasons make it a renowned location for prayer. It is undoubtedly a must-visit attraction in Kamakura.
As you stroll through the temple, you can sense the serene ambiance that is distinctive to Kamakura. The Temple is one of the well-known flower viewing spots in Kamakura, where you can enjoy the spring wisteria flowers swaying in the wind, and the romance of hydrangea blooming in the rain of early summer.
The Kamakura Great Buddha is one of Japan's three significant Buddha statues. Following the destruction of the main hall by seawater in 1498, the statue has been situated outdoors ever since. Standing 11.5 m tall, the hollow interior of the Great Buddha can be accessed from the rear bottom of the statue. Despite enduring fire and rain throughout the years, the Great Buddha remains impervious and everlasting, earning the nickname of the "eternal Buddha" worldwide.
Enoshima is located on a small island off the coast of southern Shonan, also known as Cat Island. You'll find the freshest anchovies that are a must-try and snacks such as octopus and senbei that you can relish while strolling around. You can also enjoy local snacks while strolling through Enoshima Shopping Street. Enjoy the sea view along the way and spend a pleasant afternoon in Kamakura.
