Indagare Tours: Day Trip Kamakura
Kamakura japan
Spend the day sightseeing in the ancient seaside town of Kamakura, a 60-minute drive south of Tokyo. Kamakura’s iconic image is of its giant Buddha, housed within Kitokuin Temple. From there, go on hiking trails dotted with small places of worship, including Hokokuji Temple, noted for its soaring bamboo groves. Stop for lunch at Raitei, a beautiful soba restaurant set in a temple garden.
