The Great Buddha and Hase-dera first while quiet, then central Kamakura and Komachi street, then Enoshima for the late light. The order flexes with the day.
The experience
A private journey, thoughtfully paced
The Great Buddha, the hillside temples of Kamakura and the island of Enoshima in one relaxed day from your Tokyo hotel, by private van, with a guide who speaks your language.
Choose with confidence
Is this the right journey for your group?
Excellent fit if
- First-time visitors who want temples and the sea in one day
- Families and older travellers who would rather not change trains
- Photographers who like coast, torii gates and bamboo
Consider another option if
- You want one deep temple visit rather than a highlights day
- You are set on a specific train and hike route
- Your group cannot manage temple steps
Said plainly
Kamakura is popular and central streets get busy at weekends and in blossom and autumn season; your guide times the stops around it. Temple admissions are small and paid by you at each gate.
Your day
Suggested itinerary
Times are approximate. Your driver-guide adjusts the order for traffic, weather, opening hours and the best light.

The Great Buddha (Kotoku-in)
The 13th-century bronze Buddha, seen early before the coach groups arrive.
Hase-dera temple
Hillside gardens, a sea view and the Kannon hall, a short walk from the Buddha.
Central Kamakura and Komachi street
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine and the food and craft street. Lunch here at your own choice and expense.

Drop-off at your hotel, about ten hours after pickup.

Frequently asked

A moderate amount, with temple steps and seafront paths. Comfortable shoes help. Your guide sets an easy pace and can skip the steepest parts for anyone who prefers.
Can we see Mt. Fuji?
On a clear day Fuji is visible from Enoshima across the bay, but it depends on the weather and can never be guaranteed.

Yes. Tell your guide what matters most and the order and stops can flex around your interests, the weather and the crowds.
