Highlights

Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura) - Taiizan Kotokuin Shojosenji, or Kōtoku-in is a Jōdo-shū Buddhist temple in the city of Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The temple is renowned for its “Great Buddha”, a monumental outdoor bronze statue of Amida Buddha, which is one of the most famous icons of Japan
Hokoku-ji Temple Bamboo Grove - The bamboo grove is Hokokuji’s most famous attraction and can be found behind the main hall. The beautiful bamboo grove was originally a Buddhist training area, but today the grounds are densely covered with over 2,000 moso bamboo stalks. Narrow pathways peacefully lead through the bamboo to a small tea house, which is popular with tourists who relax and find their inner calm by enjoying a cup of matcha tea while viewing the bamboo grove.

The best time to visit is either early in the morning, to avoid the crowds, or on a sunny day to see the rays of sunlight magically beaming through the bamboo.

Hase-dera Temple - Hesedera temple resides on a mountain called “Kannon-zan”. The ground holds a large variety of flowers which bloom throughout the year welcoming visitors. Additionally, the scenic view from the observation platform on the upper ground is recognized as one of the most picturesque spots in Kamakura.

Pleasant Kamakura experience - It was amazing to finally see the beautiful giant buddha. The road to Kamakura was also very enjoyable and was quite a nice ride. The highways had lush greeneries with lavender wisterias circling the giant trees. Colorful azaleas and hydrangeas were also in abundance. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Our driver, Ali, arrived right on time to pick us up. He assisted my uncle at all times since my uncle is an elderly person and can no longer walk fast. Ali seemed like an excellent guide and driver. He knew exactly where to take us ta a nice lunch and had several suggestions. He is very courteous and very knowledgeable. Thank you. Ali, hope you will see my review.
