Hasedera TempleThe Great Buddha and Hasedera Temple are must-visits in the Hase area, where you can enjoy a beautiful Japanese garden and stunning views of Sagami Bay.

Goryo ShrineExperience one of Kamakura's most picturesque views—the Enoden retro train passing right in front of a historic shrine dedicated to a brave samurai.

Yuigahama BeachAfter taking in the view from above, we will head down to Yuigahama Beach. Feel the refreshing ocean breeze and touch the water.
