Kamakura is a quaint historic town that became the first center of samurai governance in the late 12th century. Encircled by mountains on three sides and facing the ocean, its natural landscape made it easy to defend against invasions. Kamakura is also renowned for its numerous Zen Buddhist temples and for hosting one of Japan’s largest bronze Buddha statues at Kotokuin Temple. An experienced, licensed English-speaking guide will accompany visitors throughout this delightful town, sharing tales of how the samurai rose to power after the emperor’s reign and how Zen Buddhism spread during that era. It’s the ideal one-day trip for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and enjoy a peaceful, serene atmosphere.
