OVERVIEW

This tour will take you to Kamakura for a visit of the main sights and a lunch with a resident food blogger. A 30 year Tokyo resident, our specialist guide is an authority on all things food in Japan.

PROGRAM DETAILS

Kamakura, a sleepy seaside resort town about an hour south of Tokyo, was the capital of the country for about 200 years and boasts some of Japan's most beautiful temples and shrines.

The immense Great Buddha sits serenely under an open sky after his sheltering temple was washed away in a tsunami 800 years ago. Hase Temple contains a towering, yet exquisitely carved and gilded statue of Kannon, the god of compassion. Her temple includes a cave complex, a wonderful water garden and a view of the Kamakura coastline.

You can contemplate nirvana over a bowl of green tea served in a lush bamboo grove while visiting the quiet Bamboo Temple; or wash your money in a cave dedicated to Benten, the snake god, who guarantees that all money washed will come back to doubled.

Komachi-dori, the main shopping street, is lined with traditional craft shops selling decoratively-printed washi paper or intricately woven bamboo baskets.

Highlight of this trip will be your lunch where you will tender Japanese beef sliced and diced and grilled with flair at the counter of a neighborhood teppanyaki place.
