Overview
Step back in time and explore the ancient capital of Japan on a luxurious journey tailored just for you. Your day begins with a private pickup from your Tokyo hotel in a luxury van, ensuring a comfortable and seamless experience. As we travel to Kamakura, a city steeped in samurai history and Zen Buddhism, you’ll be transported to a world where tradition meets natural beauty.
Our first stop is the majestic Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, the spiritual heart of Kamakura, where you’ll stroll through serene grounds and witness centuries-old rituals. Next, we’ll visit the enchanting Hasedera Temple, famous for its stunning wooden architecture, beautiful gardens, and panoramic views of the coastline.

Here, you can explore coastal shrines, enjoy the beach atmosphere, and take in the breathtaking ocean views.
