Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet in the Suica Penguin Square and board a train to Kamakura. The first stop will be at the Buddhist temple of Hase-Dera, where we'll admire the exterior, famous for over 50,000 small sculptures. Experience calm while strolling through its caves, halls, and enjoying the view from its panoramic terrace.

Next, we will visit the Great Buddha of Kamakura, the second-largest Buddha sculpture in Japan, measuring over 42 ft (13 metres) and weighing 93 tons.
