Now, I will explain the details of each spot along with actual examples.

1. Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

Speaking of Kamakura, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine! It's such a famous shrine.
It is a place where you can fully experience the history of Kamakura while enjoying the beauty of architecture and nature.
The main shrine at the top of the long stairs is especially spectacular!
It takes at least an hour to see everything, including the beautiful torii gate stairs and the straight road with beautiful stone steps.

2. Dankatsu

A straight road leading to the center of the approach to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.
You can enjoy the scenery of each season just by walking, with cherry blossom arches in the spring and fresh greenery in the summer.
The symmetrical composition is perfect as a photo spot.

3. Komachi Street

Komachi Street is a gourmet spot in Kamakura.
You can enjoy everything from traditional souvenirs to fashion goods, dishes made with Kamakura ingredients, and limited edition sweets.
We also recommend enjoying gourmet food at food stalls or taking a break at traditional restaurants and coffee shops.

4. Jufukuji Temple

This temple is also famous for having "the most beautiful stone pavement in Kamakura."
Due to the beauty of its stone pavement, it was designated as a national historic site in 1966.
It is a spot where you can fully enjoy Kamakura's nature while being soothed by the casual plants and quietly flowing streams.

5. Gokurakuji Station

Gokurakuji Station has even been the setting for a TV drama in the past.
The station building, with its eye-catching round mailbox, has been selected as one of the top 100 stations in the Kanto region.
The station's atmospheric signboard and appearance make you feel as if you have traveled back in time to old Kamakura.

6. Enoden

The tram, commonly known as ``Enoden,'' is loved by locals.
You can see Shichirigahama from the retro train, which is an icon of Kamakura.
The recommended time is in the evening. Enjoy a nostalgic moment with the sea view at sunset.

7. Goryo Shrine

Goryo Shrine is a designated natural monument of Kamakura City.
It's in an unusual location, with an Enoden railroad crossing right next to the torii gate.
This is a spot where you can take pictures of the traditional Kamakura-style Enoden and torii gates.

8. In front of Kamakura High School

Enoshima Electric Railway's Kamakura High School Station offers a panoramic view of Sagami Bay and Enoshima.
In fact, the railroad crossing at Kamakura Kokomae Station appears in the anime opening of the popular manga ``SLAM DUNK,'' so it has become a popular spot among fans.
The area around the station is a residential area, but this spectacular view is worth seeing.

9. Yuigahama

Yuigahama Beach is a beautiful sandy beach.
The waves are calm, so you can play casually without worrying about what to wear.
When the weather is nice, you can see Mt. Fuji from the beach.

10. Enoshima Aquarium

In fact, one of the popular spots in the Kamakura area is Enoshima Aquarium.
The large aquarium, which was built to recreate Sagami Bay, is truly impressive in scale.
The good thing is that you can enjoy it regardless of the weather. There are also plenty of wonderful photo spots.
