Itinerary

08:00

Start today's beautiful journey!

08:00 Under the BEAMS sign at the Shin-Marunouchi Building in front of JR Tokyo Station (Meeting Point Pickup/Drop-off Package)
Address: Shin-Marunouchi Building, 1 Chome-5-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda City, Tokyo 100-6590, Japan
08:30 Shinjuku Mode Gakuen (Meeting Point Pickup/Drop-off Package)
*The bus will not wait for latecomers, so we highly recommend arriving at the meeting point 10 minutes before departure.

10:00

▼ Great Buddha of Kamakura (30-minute stop)

Located at Kotoku-in, a Jodo sect temple in the ancient capital of Kamakura, the Great Buddha of Kamakura is a bronze statue of Amida Nyorai and a symbol of the city. The statue stands 11.3 meters tall (13.35 meters including the pedestal) and weighs approximately 121 tons. Cast in 1252, the statue's relatively flat face, low ushnisha (hair knot), and slightly forward-leaning posture reflect the Song Dynasty style popular during the Kamakura period, making it a representative masterpiece of the era and a designated National Treasure of Japan. Unlike the Great Buddha at Todai-ji in Nara, which underwent multiple repairs in later generations, the Great Buddha of Kamakura has largely preserved its original form, making it exceptionally rare and valuable.
Minamoto no Yoritomo established the Kamakura Shogunate (1192–1333), the first samurai government, in Kamakura. During these 140 years, Kamakura served as the political, economic, and cultural center of Japan, experiencing immense growth. However, as the Muromachi Shogunate established its central authority elsewhere, Kamakura was marginalized and began to decline. Especially after the Battle of Koga in Shimosa Province in 1455, Kamakura reverted to a simple farming and fishing village.
It was not until the mid-Edo period, with the revival of local shrines and temples, that Kamakura gradually transformed into one of Japan's premier tourist destinations. (Admission fee at your own expense: 300円, Great Buddha interior 50円).

10:50

▼ Enoden Train Experience from Hase Station (Approx. 15–20 minutes walk to Hase Station)

Walk to Hase Station to ride the Enoden. The Enoden train experience fee is included in the tour.
The Enoden is a scenic streetcar connecting Fujisawa and Kamakura. Its route passes through most of Kamakura's famous attractions and offers stunning views of the Shonan coast. When people think of Kamakura, the Enoden is its most iconic symbol. Scenes of this train passing by frequently appear in major Japanese movies and anime. Rather than just watching it from afar, you can experience the joy of riding it yourself.
*We will take the Enoden from Hase Station to Kamakura-koko-mae (Kamakura High School Mae) and then to Enoshima Station.
Please follow the guide closely on the way to the train. If you get separated from the group, you will be responsible for catching up.
*This train ride is a complimentary inclusion. No refunds will be provided if the Enoden is unavailable due to force majeure.

11:00

▼ Kamakura High School (20-minute stop)

Located in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Kamakura High School is the real-life model for Ryonan High School in the classic anime "Slam Dunk". The railroad crossing near the station is the iconic location where Hanamichi Sakuragi waves to Haruko Akagi. Standing at this crossing, listening to the ringing of the train signal, you can feel the passionate youth memories of "Slam Dunk". Even after all these years, visitors still can't help but take photos here, as if paying tribute to their own youth. Visiting this spot is more than just chasing a memory. The sea, the school, and the streets from "Slam Dunk" hold a special place in the hearts of many who grew up with it. Being able to visit the place of our youth's memories feels like catching a fleeting breath of that youthful energy, giving us a perfect reason to say a peaceful goodbye to those days.

Drive-by view of the Shonan Coast (Not a stop, scenic drive-by only) The Shonan Coast is where the little train leisurely winds through the historic streets of Kamakura, where you can hear the rolling waves while lying on the beach, feel the sea breeze as motorcycles accelerate, and recall Sakuragi's devotion to Haruko. It is a place of nostalgia and passion.

11:50

▼ Enoshima (Approx. 110 minutes)

According to legend, Enoshima was formed in April of the 13th year of Emperor Kinmei's reign (552 AD) when sand began to rise from the seabed, forming a sandy island after 21 days. However, a moving legend recorded at Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei tells a different story. It is said that the area around Tsumura (now Kamakura) was once a vast lake spanning 40 miles, inhabited by a malevolent five-headed dragon. The dragon caused landslides, diseases, floods, and typhoons, leaving the surrounding villages desolate. One day in the 13th year of Emperor Kinmei's reign, dark clouds covered the sky, and the earth shook. A beautiful goddess descended from the clouds, and an island rose from the sea. The dragon fell in love with the goddess at first sight, promised to reform, and proposed to her. Touched by his persistent good deeds, she eventually married him. Together with the gods, the five-headed dragon transformed the island and protected its inhabitants. The dragon is also believed to be an incarnation of Benzaiten. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu once came here to worship. During the Edo period, Enoshima became a popular sightseeing spot for the people of Edo (now Tokyo). Due to Benzaiten's association with music and the arts, it has also long been a sacred spot for Kabuki actors.

Enoshima Shrine Enoshima Shrine was founded in the 13th year of Emperor Kinmei's reign (552 AD), with its annual festival held in early April. The shrine houses precious National Important Cultural Properties, including a wooden colored statue of the eight-armed Benzaiten, a sword crafted by Fujiwara Masahiro of Hizen Province, the Happo Nirami no Kame (turtle glaring in eight directions) painting, the Enoshima Engi scrolls, and a bronze Torii gate. As Benzaiten is also worshipped as a goddess of wealth, the shrine attracts numerous worshippers and tourists. It is said that washing your coins in the clear waters of the nearby White Dragon King (Zeniarai Hakuryu-o) pond will bring financial fortune.

14:20

▼ Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine (70-minute stop)

Formerly known as Kamakura Hachimangu, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu was the spiritual center and patron shrine of the samurai during the Kamakura Shogunate (established in 1192). It has deep historical ties to Kamakura's first shogun and is highly famous throughout the Kanto region. Along with Iwashimizu Hachimangu (Kyoto) and Usa Hachimangu (Oita Prefecture, Kyushu), it is considered one of Japan's Three Great Hachimangu Shrines. The spacious shrine grounds feature several designated National Historic Sites. It is also a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing in spring and autumn foliage, earning a one-star rating in the Michelin Green Guide Japan.

Komachi-dori Street Extending from Kamakura Station to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, Komachi-dori is a highly famous and bustling historic shopping street. The street is lined with numerous shops selling a wide variety of souvenirs, Japanese crafts, and local delicacies, making it a favorite for both locals and tourists. Many of these shops are famous eateries featured on major travel websites and guidebooks. Be sure not to miss it as you stroll through!

Shinjuku is one of Tokyo's most famous and bustling commercial districts. The popular areas are mainly concentrated around Shinjuku Station, spreading out to the East, West, and South exits. It is a shopper's paradise, packed with department stores, electronics districts, drugstores, and trendy fashion boutiques, with Odakyu, Keio, and Isetan being excellent choices. Shinjuku is also home to Kabukicho, Japan's most famous red-light district, which gathers countless restaurants, bars, karaoke lounges, and entertainment venues, earning it the nickname 'Japan's Number One Entertainment Street.'
