Overview

A walking tour of historical temples and gardens while enjoying seasonal flowers and beautiful costal scenery in Kamakura, a city rich in nature, away from bustling Tokyo. Kamakura is the place where the first samurai politics began in the 12th century, and flourished for about 140years. Surrounded with mountains by three sides and the fourth side faces the sea, so it was difficult for the enemy to attack Kamakura, and therefore chosen as the de facto capital. The guide will talk about the historical story while walking in the historical and rich in nature Kamakura.
