Description
Among the most suggested daytrip from Tokyo (Hakone, Nikko and Kamakura), Kamakura is the option that I usually recommend, both because is the easier to visit from Tokyo, but also because it is full of interesting things to see and with a very relaxed and many different from other places in Japan.
Kamakura is most famous for the Great Buddha of Kamakura, but this is certainly not the only reason to visit it! This pretty town is a coastal area, full of hiking trails in the mountains, many Buddhist temples and full of beautiful gardens and nature.
Thanks to the many things to do and see, Kamakura can be an easy day trip from Tokyo, but you can also spend a few more days stopping to stay in a minshuku or return to visit Kamakura several times, on a further trip to Japan.
