Wakamiya Ōji (Kamakura City) This lively main street stretches from Yuigahama all the way to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, guiding you through the heart of Kamakura. Its signature feature, the raised “Dankazura” walkway, is something you can only experience here. In spring, the entire path bursts into pink as the cherry blossoms bloom overhead, turning your walk into a gorgeous, storybook-like journey through Kamakura. Engaku-ji (Kamakura City) In Natsume Sōseki's novel The Gate, there is a passage where the protagonist visits a Zen temple in Kamakura and practices zazen for several days. That depiction is based on Sōseki’s own experience in his youth, practicing zazen at Engaku-ji. At Engaku-ji Temple, you can still participate in experiences such as zazen meditation and sutra copying. Hōkoku-ji Temple (Kamakura City) Known as the “Bamboo Temple,” this serene spot features a breathtaking garden of about 2,000 Moso bamboo trees, earning it three Michelin Green Guide stars. Walking through the grove feels like entering another world, and enjoying matcha and sweets at the teahouse makes it even more special. Every Sunday, you can also join an open zazen meditation session—a perfect way to refresh your mind and spirit.
