Kamakura
Unfortunately, we don't have much English information about Kamakura, but we have more information in other languages German, French, Italian, Spanish. Here is the automatic translation by Google:
Historic temples, shrines, monuments and buildings, and delightful hiking trails make this town in the northwest of the Miura Peninsula in a nice, just a train an hour from Tokyo distant day trip destination. In the former political and military center of Japan (1192 to 1333) experienced the Zen Buddhism, the first flowering of the many witness testimonies. In addition to these temples are the beautiful gardens of the Zuisen-ji and the Hokoku-ji temple and the Hase-dera worth seeing.
Can you do better? We think so. Please leave your review below!
