What To Expect
Hasedera Temple
Hasedera Temple, perched on a hillside in Kamakura, is renowned for its breathtaking views of the coastline and its 11-headed statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy. This tranquil temple features beautifully landscaped gardens, seasonal flowers, and a peaceful cave filled with statues of Benzaiten. A visit to Hasedera offers a perfect blend of spirituality, history, and natural beauty.
Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)
Kōtoku-in Temple is home to the iconic Great Buddha (Daibutsu) of Kamakura—an awe-inspiring bronze statue standing over 11 meters tall. Dating back to the 13th century, this serene figure sits peacefully in the open air, symbolizing strength and tranquility. Visitors can even step inside the statue to glimpse its interior construction. A must-see for anyone exploring Kamakura’s rich cultural heritage.
