Written by Mayu
Located just one hour south of Tokyo, Kamakura is home to the Great Buddha Hall, Tsuruhachimangu Shrine, and many other historic buildings, beautiful cafes, and cozy shops. This comprehensive guide explains all you need to know to enjoy Kamakura to the fullest.
Kamakura - Travel in the Old Capital in the East
Kamakura is a city in the southern part of Kanagawa Prefecture. More than eight centuries ago, it prospered as the seat of the Kamakura shogunate, back when samurai were the ruling class of Japan. Up until that point, Kyoto had been the nation’s capital, but Minamoto no Yoritomo carried out his nation-building endeavors with Kamakura as the hub of the country, and the culture of Kamakura still remains in many temples and traditional arts.
Temples that evoke the character of Kamakura’s time as the capital, places to try Zen meditation and participate in tea ceremonies remain in Kamakura today. The city’s seafood dishes, popular among gourmets, use fresh young sardines from the nearby ocean. In addition, there are many stylish cafes and shops making Kamakura a popular destination with all ages.

Kamakura Area Guide
The districts throughout Kamakura have their own highlights, from the spots around the station and the giant Buddha in the famous Hase area, to the relaxed atmosphere of the cafes in Kita-Kamakura. We’ll introduce you to some of the best sights in Kamakura.
Komachi Street, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu
Right outside of Kamakura Station, Komachi Street is Kamakura’s most major shopping spot, lined with stores selling Japanese sundries, restaurants serving up local Kamakura cuisine, sweets shops, and more. At the end of the street is Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, which has remained since Kamakura was the capital of Japan. Komachi Street is a must-visit––we recommend enjoying the atmosphere while wearing a kimono or yukata, available for rent.

Hase Area: Hasedera Temple and the Giant Buddha
The area around the Enoden Hase Station is particularly famous in Kamakura, with its rows of shrines and temples. Foremost among these temples is Kotokuin Temple, with its Great Buddha hall. Others include Hasedera Temple, with its reputation for hydrangeas, Kosokuji Temple, Jugenji Temple and Gorei-jinja Shrine.
Kamakurakokomae, Yuigahama
This picturesque spot at the Enoden Kamakurakokomae train stop frequently appears in anime, manga and movies. Snap a photo of this tranquil scene for yourself, with the sweep of Shichirigahama Beach’s sand and surf spreading out behind you.
Kita-Kamakura
Kita-Kamakura has cool cafes, traditional art and temples like Meigetsuin Temple. Its understated, refined vibe feels totally different from the Kamakura Station area, with its crowds of tourists.
The Weather in Kamakura and What to Wear
Kamakura has a relatively gentle climate. The best time to see the hydrangeas is in June, and November and December are the peak for fall foliage. Check them out at the city’s famous spots if you visit in early summer or fall/winter.
Kamakura has many highlights, with plenty of interesting places within walking distance from the station. You’ll want to wear sneakers or other shoes that emphasize function over fashion. Near the coast, you may encounter stronger winds or chillier temperatures than towards the station, so it is a good idea to bring an extra cardigan or light jacket with you in the spring and summer and to dress in layers in the fall and winter.
How to Get to Kamakura
Getting To Kamakura From Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Or Shibuya
To get to Kamakura from Ikebukuro, Shinjuku or Shibuya Station, your most convenient route is via the JR Shonan Shinjuku Line on a train bound for Zushi. From Ikebukuro, the journey is one hour and three minutes; from Shinjuku, it takes 57 minutes; from Shibuya, it takes 52. The fare is 920 yen from all three stations.
Be careful when taking the Shonan Shinjuku Line. If you get on a train bound for Kozu or Odawara, you’ll need to switch midway at Ofuna Station and transfer to the JR Yokosuka Line. You don’t need to transfer on trains bound for Zushi, Yokosuka or Kurihama.
Getting To Kamakura From Tokyo And Shinagawa
You can head directly to Kamakura Station from Tokyo Station, Ueno Station or Shinagawa Station via the JR Yokosuka Line. The fare from Tokyo Station is 920 yen (57 minutes), and from Shinagawa Station, it’s 720 yen (49 minutes).
For the routes above, we recommend utilizing the Japan Rail Pass, which allows for unlimited rides on JR trains.
Going From Narita Airport To Kamakura
Next we’ll talk about how to get from major airports to Kamakura Station. First, you’ll need to take the Narita Express to Ofuna Station. (110 minutes, 4,620 yen on a regular train). From Ofuna Station, transfer to the JR Shonan-Shinjuku Line (10 minutes, 160 yen).
Going From Haneda Airport To Kamakura
You need to head to Yokohama Station from Narita Station, so take the Keikyu Limousine Bus from the airport (30 minutes, 560 yen). From Yokohama Station, take either the Yokosuka Line or Shonan-Shinjuku Line to get to Kamakura Station (330 yen, 20 minutes).
Getting Around Kamakura
JR Lines
Trains on the Yokosuka Line, Sobu Line and Shonan-Shinjuku Line operate out of JR Kamakura Station. Trains on the the Yokosuka Line stop at the neighboring Kita-Kamakura Station. Utilize the JR Pass to travel efficiently and save yen.
Bus
Yokohama Keikyu and Enoshima buses operate in the city, allowing riders to visit tourist spots around Kamakura and go as far as Yokohama.
Enoshima Rail (Enoden)
The Enoden travels between Fujisawa Station and Kamakura Station. Some of its stops are Hase, which is close to the famous Buddha and Hasedera Temple, the well-known photo spot Kamakurakokomae, and the busy Enoshima Island. It’s an indispensable train line for visitors to the Kamakura area.
Taxi and Rental Car
While Kamakura does have taxis and rental car services, there are many narrow streets. These paths become crowded on weekends and during the peak tourist seasons in spring and fall: it’s best to either take public transportation, rent a bicycle, or walk.
Bicycles For Rent
We recommend visiting the area’s temples by bicycle; since they are somewhat spread out geographically, the Enoden can get pretty crowded. If your body is up to the challenge, rent a bicycle to travel around Kamakura.
Rickshaws (Jinrikisha)
Two people can hitch a ride on a rickshaw in front of JR Kamakura Station. The man pulling the rickshaw will go around the surrounding areas and introduce the local tourist spots.
Convenient Kamakura Tour Buses
Kamakura has convenient bus passes for tourists, so find one that covers the areas you want to visit.

Some of the spots on this segment include Jojuin Temple - famous for the Great Buddha and hydrangeas - Hasedera Temple, and Inamuragasaki Cape, with its beautiful sunset.

Kamakura Events and Seasonal Sights
January: The Launching Of Ships
This festival is held by fishermen at Sakanoshita Beach and Zaimokuza Beach on January 2nd. They gather to give thanks for their safe voyages over the past year, and to pray for bountiful catches and safe travels in the year to come. It’s customary for fishermen to climb atop their ship masts with raised banners, and throw Mandarin oranges and sweets into the sea.
April: Kamakura Festival
At this elegant event, meant as a remembrance of the Kamakura shogunate’s founder, Minamoto no Yoritomo, people dressed in period-appropriate garb march in parades. You can see mounted archers on horseback riding alongside, and a woman dressed as Minamoto-no-Yoshitsune’s lover, Shizuka Gozen, performing her traditional dance.
June: Hydrangeas
Rainy season is the best time to see the hydrangeas planted all over Kamakura. Their vibrant blooms lend plenty of color to the area’s venerable temples, creating a tasteful and beautiful scene.
September: Great Festival Of Hachimangu
At this September event held at Tsuruoka Hachimangu, witness Kamakura bowmen - clad in Kamakura karishozoku outfits - firing arrows while on horseback.
November and December: Fall Foliage
In fall and winter, the leaves of Kamakura’s trees turn a fiery red and draw photographers and nature-lovers from across Japan and around the world with their beauty.
Kamakura Dining And Souvenirs
Dishes featuring freshly-caught shirasu, or young sardines, are Kamakura dining table staples. Some of the many variations include shirasu rice bowls, shirasu-topped pizza and shirasu pasta. In addition, Kamakura-grown vegetables are prized by gourmet chefs, so visit some restaurants which serve locally-sourced vegetable dishes if they pique your interest.
As we mentioned earlier, you can find incredible all-vegetarian meals served at the Kamakurabori Assembly Hall, while Hostel YUIGAHAMA has its own soba bar. But if you're looking for something lighter, then head to the Tobira Branch of Toshimaya, just outside of Kamakura Station, where you can enjoy freshly baked sweet and savory buns and rolls, plus hot and cold drinks in their cafe space.
Kamakura is also well-known for ham. Businesses began making ham in the areas around Kamakura over a century ago, during the Meiji era, and ham came to be one of Kamakura’s most well-known products. Since the ham is sold in vacuum-sealed packages, you may be able to buy some as a souvenir. However, many countries do not allow meat to be brought in through customs, so you’re probably better off savoring a slice at an affiliated restaurant.
Kamakura Souvenirs
Kamakura’s most famous souvenir item is Hato Sable, shortbread cookies shaped like doves. These cookies are perfect for afternoon tea. Other souvenir possibilities include Kamakura carvings, lacquerware and other traditional crafts. Japanese blades from Masamune Kogei are also an option, as well as konnyaku jelly soaps for ladies.
For more information, check out our Kamakura's Best Souvenir: Toshimaya's Hato Sable article.
