KAMAKURA

Kamakura is a small city in Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, Japan. It is a very popular destination among Tokyoites for its beaches, lively center and many temples. It is the perfect place to take a day off from Tokyo's stress.


Kamakura is a nice seaside town with a relaxed atmosphere. Hard to believe it was the political capital of Japan during the Kamakura shogunate, from 1185 to 1333.


Kamakura is a very popular day trip from Tokyo for locals and tourists alike, and there are plenty of transportation options. Kamakura's sights are scattered around the city. Most visitors make a beeline for the Great Buddha and stop off at Hase Kannon on the way; these sights can be very crowded on weekends and holidays.
