1 DAY TRIP IN KAMAKURA

🇯🇵✨ Kamakura 1-Day Trip from Tokyo Just about an hour from Tokyo, Kamakura is the perfect getaway for a peaceful day surrounded by temples, nature, and traditional Japanese charm. 📍 #hasedera Temple Start your journey at Hasedera Temple, known for its beautiful Japanese gardens and iconic large red lantern at the entrance. During autumn, the temple is surrounded by vibrant foliage, and there’s even a scenic viewpoint overlooking the ocean. 🧘♀️ A calm, spiritual atmosphere—perfect for strolling and photography. 📍 Kotoku-in (The Great Buddha) Next, visit the famous Daibutsu (Great Buddha), a massive bronze statue sitting peacefully under the sky. It’s a short walk from Hase Station and one of Kamakura’s most iconic landmarks. 📍 Lunch & Local Snacks Take a break and explore the charming Komachi Street filled with street food stalls and cute souvenir shops. Try local delights like mochi, yakisoba, or a warm matcha drink. 📍 Kencho-ji Temple End your trip at Kencho-ji, the oldest Zen temple in Kamakura. The traditional architecture is stunning, especially surrounded by golden ginkgo trees in autumn. A great place to relax, reflect, and take beautiful photos. 🚃 How to Get There Take the JR Yokosuka Line from Tokyo Station → Get off at Kamakura Station (about 1 hour). Use the Enoden Line to travel between temples like Hasedera and Kotoku-in with ease. 📸 Tips: • Autumn (Nov–early Dec) is ideal for colorful foliage and clear skies • Wear comfortable shoes—it involves lots of walking • Consider getting the Kamakura-Enoshima Pass for convenient travel ⸻ In Summary: Kamakura is a perfect mix of nature, tradition, and tranquility. Whether you’re into temples, Japanese culture, or just want a slow-paced day trip, this city is a must-visit. Beautiful, peaceful, and only an hour away from Tokyo! #kamakura #tokyospots #holidayitinerary #postandearn #tokyotrip
