About Kamakura
Facing Sagami Bay and flanked by hills on three sides, Kamakura is steeped in samurai history. It is the birthplace of Japan’s first samurai government (1192-1333), after centuries of imperial rule. During the Kamakura Period, samurai warriors embraced Zen Buddhism. And 839 years on, 115 Buddhist temples remain dotted around the hills of this coastal town. These rustic temples are full of Spartan charm & understated elegance.
