Kamakura is a delightful day trip from Tokyo to take in a very big Buddha and the coastal town with more shrines, shops and sushi.
To understand Japan, it is essential to acknowledge the values instilled by Shintoism and Buddhism over the centuries, along with the external influences on the Japanese population.
Kamakura is a charming town, renowned for its remarkable 13.35-meter-tall bronze Buddha at Kotoku-in, which was constructed in 1252.
