JAPAN -  Around Tokyo

Kamakura temples

Kamakura is a city in Kanagawa Prefecture at 1 hour by train from Tokyo station. Although Kamakura proper is today rather small, it is often described in history books as a former de facto capital of Japan, the nation's most populous settlement from 1200 to 1300 AD, as the seat of the shogunate and of the Regency during the Kamakura period.
As a coastal city with a high number of seasonal festivals, as well as ancient magnifiscent Buddhist and Shinto shrines and temples, Kamakura is a popular tourist destination within Japan.
