Activity itinerary

Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Kamakura Daibutsu (staying for 30 minutes). The Great Buddha of Kamakura is a bronze statue of Amida Tathagata, located in the Kotoku-in Temple of Pure Land Buddhism in Kamakura's ancient capital. It is commonly known as the Great Buddha of Kamakura. It is the symbol of the ancient capital of Kamakura. Unlike the Great Buddha of Nara Todaiji Temple, which has undergone many repairs in later generations, the Great Buddha of Kamakura has maintained its original form, making it extremely valuable. Minamoto Yoritomo established the first samurai regime in Kamakura - the Kamakura Shogunate (1192-1333). In 140 years, Kamakura, as the center of Japan at that time, experienced tremendous development in politics, economy, culture, and other aspects. During the Edo period, with the revival of shrines and temples, Kamakura gradually became a popular tourist destination in Japan

Enoshima

  • 1h 50m
Enoshima (about 110 minutes) As for the original formation of Enoshima, it is said that in April of the 13th year of Emperor Chinmei's reign (552), sand began to gush out from the bottom of the sea and after 21 days, a sandy island was formed. During the Edo period, it became a popular sightseeing spot for people from Edo (now Tokyo). It has also been a venue for Kabuki actors. Eshima Shrine Eshima Shrine was established by Emperor Kinmei in 552 years. The annual sacrifice takes place in early April. The colorful wooden Eight-Armed Bensaiten Seated Statue in the shrine, the Hizen Kuni Fujiwara Masahiro Sword, the Octagonal Gazing Turtle, the Origin of Eshima, and the Bronze Torii Gate are all nationally designated cultural treasures. At the same time, Benzaiten is also the God of Wealth, and many worshipers and tourists come here. The money-laundering White Dragon King even claimed that washing coins in the water here can bring wealth.

Hachimangu Shrine

  • 1h 10m
  • Admission ticket included
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine (a 70-minute stay) Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine was previously known as Kamakura Hachimangu Shrine. It was built during the Kamakura Shogunate period (1192-1867), the central belief and patron saint of warriors. It has a deep connection with the first shogun of Kamakura and is well-known in the Kanto area. The three major Hachimangu Shrines in Japan are the Ishikimizu Hachimangu Shrine in Kyoto, Usa Hachimangu Shrine in Oita Prefecture, and together they are referred to as the "three major Hachimangu Shrines.
