Overview

  • Explore Kamakura by e-bike with a Kamakura-based local guide, combining famous landmarks with quiet temples, seaside scenery, and hidden shrines.

    Start and finish at Kamakura Station. Ride to Hokokuji Temple and its bamboo grove, then continue to Myohonji, a quiet temple surrounded by greenery. From there, head to Yuigahama Beach before visiting the Great Buddha at Kotoku-in.
