At Hase-dera Temple, explore one of Kamakura’s most scenic and atmospheric temples. Walk through beautifully maintained gardens, visit the main hall housing an impressive statue of Kannon (the Goddess of Mercy), and enjoy sweeping coastal views from the temple’s hillside terraces. The site also features a small cave that visitors can walk through, along with statues and quiet pathways that offer a peaceful contrast to the busier areas of Kamakura.

Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)

  • 20m

At Kotoku-in, visit the iconic Great Buddha of Kamakura, one of Japan’s most famous landmarks. This massive bronze statue of Amida Buddha stands in the open air and dates back to the 13th century. Guests can walk around the statue to appreciate its scale and craftsmanship, and those interested can enter inside the Buddha for a unique perspective on its construction. The temple grounds are simple and open, allowing for unobstructed views and excellent photo opportunities.

Enoshima Shrine

  • 30m
At Enoshima Shrine, explore a collection of three shrine complexes spread across the island, each connected by pathways and steps. These include Hetsunomiya at the base, Nakatsunomiya midway, and Okutsunomiya further along the island. The shrine is dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of music, art, and prosperity, and is an important spiritual site with a long history. As you move between the different sections, you’ll experience a mix of traditional architecture, natural surroundings, and views of the coastline.

Enoshima Samuel Cocking-en

At Samuel Cocking Garden, take a short break to enjoy one of the island’s most pleasant open spaces.

It’s a good opportunity to slow the pace, take photos, and enjoy views of the surrounding coastline.

Enoshima Sea Candle

At Enoshima Sea Candle, take in panoramic 360-degree views from the island’s iconic observation tower. From the top, enjoy sweeping vistas of the coastline, Sagami Bay, and the surrounding area. On clear days, Mount Fuji can be seen in the distance. This is one of the best vantage points on Enoshima and a highlight of the tour.

Lover's Hill / Bell of Ryuren

  • 10m
At Enoshima Lover's Bell, enjoy a scenic viewpoint overlooking the coastline and Sagami Bay. This popular spot is known for its association with a local legend, and visitors can ring the bell for good fortune. Couples often attach padlocks to the nearby fences as a symbol of lasting love, adding a unique and personal touch to the location.

Enoshima Iwaya Caves

  • 30m

At Enoshima Iwaya Caves, explore a series of coastal sea caves formed by centuries of wave erosion.
