Kamakura Adventure
The Great Buddha of Kamakura（长谷寺鎌倉大仏)
Kotoku-in Buddhist Temple is the home to the famous "Daibutsu" or "Great Buddha." The colossal copper statue of Amitabha Buddha stands 11.4 meters (37 feet) tall and weighs 121 tons. It was constructed in 1252 during the height of the Hojo clan's power. The Great Buddha sits outdoors, which is unusual among large Buddha statues in Japan. The temple grounds also feature a beautiful garden known for its peonies.
Hokokuji Temple (报国寺)
Secluded in the hills of eastern Kamakura, Hokokuji (報国寺, Hōkokuji) is a small temple of the Rinzai Sect of Zen Buddhism. Originally founded during the early years of the Muromachi Period (1333-1573), Hokokuji was the family temple of the ruling Ashikaga Clan and was later also adopted as the family temple of the Uesugi Clan.
Hokokuji Temple, however, is best known for the beautiful, small bamboo grove found behind the temple's main hall, which lies thick with over 2000 dark green bamboo stalks. Also located behind the temple are a series of shallow caves carved into the hillsides, which are believed to hold the ashes of some of the later Ashikaga lords.
Popular photography spot - Enoden "Kamakura High School Front",(镰仓高校前站)
This is the railroad crossing that appears in the ending of the animated film "Slam Dunk." "Enoden" is a local train that connects Kamakura and Fujisawa, two popular tourist spots in Kanagawa Prefecture. Enoden is the basic mode of transportation to Kamakura. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful sea views along the way, many people also choose to take this train to Enoshima.
"Slam Dunk" is a shounen manga published in shounen manga magazines in the 1990s. The comic takes high school basketball as its theme and tells the story of how Sakuragi Hanata, a delinquent high school student in Kanagawa Prefecture, fell in love with basketball.
Kamakura Komachi Street (镰仓小町通)
What was just a humble street market a few centuries ago has now transformed into a shopping and commercial complex.
Komachi Street is lined with shops, including numerous boutiques and souvenir shops. When you feel a little tired after a round of shopping, the numerous cafes, restaurants, cake shops and bakeries here are the ideal place to stop.
The alleys off the main road of Komachi-dori are also worth exploring. You won’t be disappointed if you find hidden and unique shops or historical buildings deep in the alleys.
