Best Kamakura Tours in March

Kamakura, located just an hour south of Tokyo, is a historic coastal city famous for its temples, shrines, and samurai heritage. Once the political center of Japan during the Kamakura shogunate in the 12th century, the city still preserves many cultural landmarks, including the iconic Great Buddha (Daibutsu) at Kōtoku-in Temple. Visitors can stroll along scenic hiking trails connecting temples such as Hase-dera and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, enjoying lush greenery and seasonal flowers along the way. Kamakura’s beaches, like Yuigahama, attract surfers and sunbathers during the summer, while local streets offer quaint cafés, traditional shops, and street food. The city’s proximity to Tokyo makes it a popular day-trip destination.
