What To Expect
Jochiji Temple
Tucked in the hills of Kita-Kamakura, Jochiji is a quiet Zen temple with lush greenery, mossy paths, and a cozy bamboo grove. It’s perfect for a peaceful stroll- plus, we can hike to Genjiyama Park right after!
Kotoku-in - Great Buddha of Kamakura
Home to the iconic Great Buddha of Kamakura, Kotoku-in is a must-see destination. This giant bronze statue, standing at over 13 meters tall, is a symbol of peace and spirituality. Set in a peaceful outdoor setting, the temple offers a chance to admire this awe-inspiring figure up close and learn about its history. It’s a perfect spot to connect with Kamakura’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
