Join a 1.5-hour guided tour of Kamakura and visit two of its most famous temples: Hase-ji Temple and Kotoku-in Temple. Begin at Hase-ji, a hillside temple known for its beautiful grounds, ocean views, and impressive golden Kannon statue. With your guide, learn the story behind the temple’s main statue and explore the atmospheric cave temple, where stone Buddhist figures are quietly enshrined in a dimly lit space. Continue to Kotoku-in Temple, home to the Great Buddha of Kamakura, one of Japan’s most iconic Buddhist statues. Your guide will explain its history, how it has survived for centuries, and why it remains a powerful symbol of Kamakura’s spiritual heritage.
