Activity itinerary

Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)

Visit one of Japan’s most iconic landmarks — the Great Buddha of Kamakura, a monumental bronze statue standing over 13 metres tall. Dating back to the 13th century, this serene Buddha has withstood earthquakes and tsunamis for centuries, symbolising resilience and peace. Enjoy time to explore the temple grounds, take memorable photos, and (optionally) step inside the statue to learn about its fascinating construction.

Hokokuji Temple (Takedera Temple)

Discover the tranquil beauty of Hokoku-ji Temple, famous for its enchanting bamboo grove of over 2,000 bamboo stalks. This lesser-known Zen temple offers a peaceful escape from the crowds, where sunlight filters through towering bamboo, creating a calm and meditative atmosphere. Enjoy a traditional matcha tea in the garden (optional) while appreciating the harmony of nature and Zen culture.

Hase-dera Temple

Visit Hasedera Temple, one of Kamakura’s most beautiful and spiritually significant sites, renowned for its 11-headed Kannon statue, the goddess of mercy. Stroll through scenic gardens, small caves, and hillside paths offering seasonal flowers and panoramic views of Kamakura and the Pacific Ocean. This temple blends history, nature, and serenity in one unforgettable stop.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

Explore Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, Kamakura’s most important Shinto shrine and spiritual heart. Founded in 1063, this grand shrine is dedicated to the god of samurai and is closely tied to Japan’s warrior history. Walk along its iconic approach, admire seasonal scenery, and experience traditional Shinto architecture and local rituals in a lively yet cultural atmosphere.

Kamakura Komachidori

Stroll through Komachi-dori Street, Kamakura’s vibrant shopping avenue lined with traditional snack shops, local crafts, and souvenir stores. Sample famous street foods like matcha sweets and rice crackers while enjoying the lively atmosphere that blends old-town charm with modern local culture. A perfect place to relax, shop, and taste Kamakura flavours.

Kenko-ji Temple

Visit Kencho-ji, the oldest Zen training temple in Japan and a cornerstone of Kamakura’s Zen heritage. Founded in 1253, this spacious temple complex features grand gates, serene gardens, and a calm atmosphere ideal for reflection. Walk through traditional Zen architecture and enjoy scenic views towards the surrounding hills, offering insight into samurai-era spirituality and Zen philosophy.

Engaku-ji Temple

Explore Engaku-ji, one of Kamakura’s most important Zen temples, founded in 1282 to honour those lost in war. Nestled in forested hills near Kita-Kamakura, the temple offers a peaceful atmosphere with historic halls, ancient bells, and beautiful seasonal scenery. This serene site provides a deep insight into Zen Buddhism and Kamakura’s samurai-era history.

Yokohama Minato Mirai 21

Discover Minato Mirai, Yokohama’s stylish waterfront district blending modern architecture with seaside charm. Enjoy views of the iconic skyline, Landmark Tower, and harbour area while strolling along scenic promenades. This area offers great photo opportunities, shopping, cafés, and a relaxed atmosphere — a perfect contrast to Kamakura’s historic temples.

Sankeien Gardens

Visit Sankeien Garden, a spacious traditional Japanese garden featuring historic buildings relocated from Kyoto and Kamakura. Stroll through beautifully landscaped paths, ponds, and seasonal flowers while enjoying views of pagodas and tea houses. This peaceful retreat offers a glimpse into classic Japanese aesthetics within the heart of Yokohama.

Yokohama Chinatown

Experience Yokohama Chinatown, the largest Chinatown in Japan, famous for its colourful gates, lively streets, and authentic Chinese cuisine. Stroll through bustling lanes filled with shops, temples, and street food vendors, or enjoy lunch at a renowned local restaurant. A lively cultural stop that adds flavour and energy to your Yokohama tour.

Enoshima Island

Explore Enoshima Island, a charming seaside destination known for ocean views, shrines, and relaxed coastal vibes. Walk across the bridge to the island, visit Enoshima Shrine, and enjoy panoramic views of Sagami Bay and Mount Fuji on clear days. A great stop for photos, fresh seafood, and a refreshing break by the sea.
