What's included in Kamakura & Yokohama One-Day Tour with English Driver
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)
The Great Buddha of Kamakura is an outdoor bronze statue of Amida Buddha located on the grounds of Kotoku-in Temple in Kanagawa Prefecture. Standing at the height of approximately 13.35 meters, it is one of the largest and the most renowned bronze Buddha statues in Japan. Once housed in a huge hall, the Great Buddha today sits in the open air because the building was washed away by a tsunami in 1498
Enoshima
Only a short train ride west of Kamakura, Enoshima (江の島) is a pleasantly touristy island just off the coast but connected by bridge with the mainland. The island offers a variety of attractions, including a shrine, park, observation tower and caves. Views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed on days with good visibility. Enoshima is divided into a yacht harbor accessible to motorized traffic and a forested hill which can only be explored on foot (and paid escalators) and contains most of the sights. Several shrine buildings, collectively known as Enoshima Shrine, are found around the island and are dedicated to Benten, a popular goddess of good fortune, wealth, music and knowledge. Benten is believed to have created Enoshima before subduing a five headed dragon that had been terrorizing the area
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine
The shrine situated in the middle of the city centre is Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. For centuries, it was venerated as the home of gods of war.
