About the Kamakura Area

Kamakura flourished as the seat of Japan's first samurai government from the 12th to 14th centuries, and today it's home to an extraordinary concentration of national treasures and important cultural properties, including Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, the Great Buddha of Kotoku-in, and Hasedera Temple. Surrounded by hills on three sides and facing Sagami Bay, its lush natural setting gives Kamakura a rare blend of historic charm and resort-like openness. In recent years, "KAMAKURA" has also drawn growing international attention as a travel destination in its own right.

5 Minutes on Foot from the Great Buddha and Hasedera

The location couldn't be better for sightseeing: 5 minutes on foot to Kotoku-in (the Great Buddha of Kamakura), and just 3 minutes to Hasedera Temple.
