South of Tokyo lies the quiet little seaside city of Kamakura. Once the de facto capital of shogunate Japan, Kamakura to this day attracts visitors with Shinto shrines and zen temples. Make sure to check out Kamakura's remarkable sights, such as the Great Buddha (Daibutsu) at Kotokuin and the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. With easy access from Tokyo by bus or train, Kamakura makes a lovely day trip for all seasons. Check out more tours and activities below.
