Great view, Buddha, and bamboo forest! Be greedy to enjoy Kamakura!


Kamakura is a famous tourist destination visited by people throughout the year. The reason why Kamakura is attractive is related to the 12-14th centuries. At that time, powerful samurais were carrying out Japanese politics in Kamakura. The city is very prosperous, and buildings such as majestic shrines were built to show their power. When the politics in Kamakura is over, the popularity of the precious shrines and temples that remain in the rich nature will increase, and it will be revived as a tourist destination from the 17th century. And even today, a rich cultural atmosphere has surprised and impressed people. This tour will introduce the most popular spots in Kamakura in one day.
