What you can expect
Meet in front of Suica Penguin Statue on the pedestrian deck called Suica Penguin Plaza, which is located on the 2nd floor of Shinjuku Motorway Bus Terminal Building annexed to JR Shinjuku Station.
After gathering and meeting a tour guide, 5 minutes' walk will take you to the terminal for Odakyu Line of Shinjuku Station. You will get on a train of Odakyu Odawara Line for Fujisawa with a tour guide. From Fujisawa, the popular Enoden train (a train of Enoshima Electric Railway）will take you to Kamakura area along the Pacific coast. With a day pass called Enoshima & Kamakura Freepass, you will enjoy unlimited rides of all Enoden train until the tour ends.
Before reaching the centre of Kamakura, you will visit Hase-dera, also known as the temple of flowers: here you will explore a gorgeous garden, caves, Buddhist halls and a panoramic terrace on the bay.
You will then move on to the city symbol, the Great Buddha of the Kotoku-in Temple: you will remain speechless standing in front of this majestic statue and will have enough time to behold all its details!
Finally, you will ride the Enoden once again to reach Kamakura station and walk along the lively Komachi Street up to Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu, where the deity of war is enshrined: here you will understand the importance of the samurai government for Kamakura's history.
The tour will end by this shrine and you will be free to spend the afternoon around Kamakura or choose one of the options.
