    • Description:

    • Just about one hour south of Tokyo by train, Kamakura offers a treasure-trove of Japanese history and culture. The city was Japan's capital for about 150 years (1185-1333), and today there are still some 70 historic temples and shrines, many with an exquisite garden attached to it, to discover and explore. Kamakura's biggest attraction is the Daibutsu or Great Buddha, which dates back to 1252. Kamakura also encompasses beaches and mountains for those who prefer to laze in the sun or trek in the crisp air of autumn.
