Depart from Shinjuku on this adventure to Kamakura and Enoshima. Admire the emblematic Great Buddha of Kamakura, built over 800 years ago during the Kamakura Period. Hosted in Kotoku-in, this national treasure of Japan has weathered natural disasters that destroyed the hall it was originally housed in.
At Enoshima, you will have one hour of free time to walk through Nakamise-dori, a lively street leading to Enoshima Benzaiten Shrine. We will also ride the famous Enoshima Electric Railway before heading to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, once the thriving home base of Kamakura's samurai.
From Kamakura, we'll head to Asakusa, where you'll explore the area on your own—experience the retro nostalgia of the district and admire the traditional temple architecture against the backdrop of Tokyo Skytree in the distance.
Finally, we will ride to Tokyo Metro together to Shibuya, where the Scramble Square Crossing and Hachiko Statue will be waiting for you.

Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)
We will depart from Shinjuku and head to Kamakura (about 1 hr. 45 mins). The first stop will be the Great Buddha of Kamakura. Standing at 13.5 meters, this four-story-tall bronze statue was built over 750 years ago during the Kamakura period. Originally covered in gold leaf, the statue has weathered earthquakes and typhoons that destroyed the hall it was once housed in, developing a copper patina over its long history. This national treasure of Japan is both the centerpiece of Kotoku-in Temple and emblematic of Kamakura itself.
Enoshima
Enoshima, a beautiful island off the coast of the mainland. At Enoshima, you will have one hour of free time to walk through Nakamise-dori, a lively street leading to Enoshima Benzaiten Shrine. The shrine is said to be home to three sister goddesses of the sea, water, good luck, finance, and the arts.
