Kamakura is a historic coastal town in Kanagawa Prefecture known for its cultural heritage and natural beauty. Its Great Buddha is a National Treasure of Japan, towering at 13.35 meters high. The town boasts many temples and shrines, such as Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and Kamakura-gu Shrine, and famous for its cherry blossoms. Kamakura's beaches, including Yuigahama Beach and Zaimokuza Beach, offer visitors a chance to soak up the sun and relax. Hiking trails such as the Daibutsu Hiking Course provide panoramic views of the lush forests and surrounding landscapes. Kamakura's cuisine features dishes like shirasu (whitebait) and Kamakura Komachi, a sweet potato cake.
Explore Kamakura's rich cultural heritage with a private guided tour of its most iconic temples and shrines, such as the Great Buddha at Kotoku-in, Hase-dera Temple, and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. Gain a deeper understanding of Japanese history and religious traditions while appreciating the serene atmosphere of these sacred sites.
The Great Buddha, a 13-meter tall bronze statue of Amida Buddha, is Kamakura's most famous landmark. Located at Kotoku-in Temple, the statue dates back to the 13th century and has withstood numerous natural disasters, including a tsunami that destroyed the temple building. Visitors can also go inside the statue to observe its impressive structure and craftsmanship.
Kamakura is home to several notable Zen temples, such as Kencho-ji, the oldest Zen temple in Kamakura, featuring beautiful gardens and an impressive Sanmon gate, while Engaku-ji, nestled at the foot of the Kita-Kamakura mountains, is known for its tranquil atmosphere and stunning autumn foliage. Participate in a private tea ceremony here and then engage in a Zen meditation session led by a Buddhist monk, allowing you to find inner peace and tranquillity amid its spiritual surroundings.
As Kamakura's most important Shinto shrine, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu has significant historical and cultural value. The shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, the patron god of the samurai class, and was established by Minamoto no Yoritomo, the founder of the Kamakura Shogunate. The shrine complex features several halls, museums, and a beautiful Japanese garden, making it a must-visit destination.
Immerse yourself in Japanese culture with a professional kimono dressing experience in Kamakura. Don a beautiful kimono and stroll through the city's historic sites, capturing the moment with a private photography session. This unique experience offers a glimpse into Japan's traditional customs and aesthetics.
This beautiful hiking path links the Jochi-ji Temple with the Great Buddha, providing panoramic vistas of Kamakura and Sagami Bay while passing through verdant forests. The trail is moderately easy and allows visitors to bask in Kamakura's natural beauty. Alternatively, visit the Zen Hokokuji Temple, also known as the tranquil Bamboo Temple, nestled in a lush bamboo grove, providing a serene ambiance for tourists to savour matcha tea in the tea house overlooking the bamboo garden.
Learn the art of Japanese cuisine in a private cooking class led by a Kamakura chef, who will teach you how to prepare local dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. After enjoying the fruits of your labor, participate in a guided sake tasting, sampling premium selections from the region.
