Spring | Leisurely stroll in Kamakura, admiring the flowers and scenery, and gazing at Mount Fuji

🌟 Kamakura, you sure know how to enjoy yourself! ❤ When it comes to Kamakura in Kanagawa, Japan, many people born in the 80s and 90s think first of the railway crossing in front of Kamakura Koukou, having passed it countless times. Each time they pass by, they recall the familiar and thrilling 'I Want to Shout Out that I Like You'. 👍 Kamakura is a tourist city in Kanagawa. Although it is not large in size, it is bustling with tourists year-round, with crowds of people in every season. Located on the coast, Kamakura also offers distant views of Mount Fuji, and these various factors make it the second most prominent destination in the Kanto region after Tokyo. 🧳 How to enjoy Kamakura: ✅ The Great Buddha of Kamakura, built in the 13th century, is located in Kotoku-in and is a landmark of Kamakura. Made of bronze, it is the second largest seated Buddha statue in Japan. ✅ Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, located in the central area of Kamakura, has developed the city around the Hachimangu shrine. Countless events are held here each year, from festivals to exhibitions, to personal weddings, with a constant stream of visitors. From spring cherry blossoms to summer hydrangeas, to autumn maple leaves, this place is always a favorite for those who enjoy scenery. ✅ Hase-dera, known for its beautiful gardens, is close to the Great Buddha of Kamakura, faces the sea, and offers enchanting views. A hydrangea path makes it a must-visit spot for flower enthusiasts in summer. Other temples like Engaku-ji, Jochi-ji, Kencho-ji, and the Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine, collectively known as the 'Five Mountains of Kamakura', provide a full day's worth of leisurely exploration. ✅ Komachi Street, Kamakura's famous shopping street, satisfies all needs from the first cup of coffee in the morning to a late-night snack before bed, offering a complete experience of dining, shopping, and entertainment. ✅ Enoshima and the Shonan coast are part of Kamakura's coastline, attracting surfers year-round to enjoy the thrill of the sea. With abundant sunshine in summer, many restaurants and cafes open here, making the beach a great place for leisure and entertainment. Stepping onto Enoshima, you reach a prime spot for viewing Mount Fuji, where you can rest and dine at the observatory while admiring the beauty of Mount Fuji (with a bit of luck).
