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.

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.
