Kamakura: Sun, Sea, and Crowds🌊🌞

Kamakura is one of the most popular day-trip destinations from Tokyo, especially in summer. With beaches, temples, and iconic photo spots, it’s the perfect mix of relaxation and exploration. But be prepared—it gets very hot, and photo spots can be crowded even on weekdays! 💡 Tips before you go: • Arrive early to avoid the heat and crowds. • Bring a reusable water bottle (hydration is a must). • No trash cans are around, so take your garbage back with you. • It might be too tiring for elderly visitors who are not used to long walks or climbing. Even with the heat, the charm of Kamakura makes the trip worth it! — My Route 🚊 Getting to Kamakura🚆 1. Asakusa Line: A16 Asakusabashi Station → KK01 Shinagawa Station 2.
