One of the best things to do in Kamakura is hiking the Daibutsu Trail. Kamakura is a short train ride from Tokyo. I got off at the Kita-Kamakura Station and walked to the Jochi-ji Temple. The Daibutsu trail starts just past the Jochi-ji Temple. Along the way I stopped at the Kuzuharaota Shrine. The Zeniarai-Benzaiten Shrine is also close to the Daibutsu trail if you are interested in washing your money at a temple.
The walk along the trail is beautiful and when the trail ends it is a short walk to Kotokuin Temple to see the Great Buddha.
I loved my day trip to Kamakura. The hike from the Kita-Kamakura Train Station to the Great Buddha was the perfect way to start the day in Kamakura Japan.
