    A few days ago, I visited Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and the Great Buddha of Kamakura. It was pretty crowded, but I enjoyed them very much!

      @@tokyocheapoi visited Kamakura back in 2011 and i missed out on the great Buddha statue somehow. Is it easy enough to navigate back and forth to see everything? I am a bit fuzzy from last time. Don’t recall much of the travel aspect.

    This is perfect! I was thinking of going to Kamakura this weekend, but I don't know if the weather will be nice enough. You've listed lots of great options! (On the other hand, if it's cloudy maybe it won't be as crowded...😉)

    Nice informative video post in an excellent summary, just one point whats best way to get to the Great Buddha from the Kamakura station. Thanks

    • @tokyocheapo
      @tokyocheapo  3 месяца назад

      We're glad you found the video helpful! The easiest way to get to the Great Buddha is to catch the Enoden Line from Kamakura Station to Hase Station and then walk about 7-10 minutes to the temple.

    Last time I went to Japan was in January, 2020. My fiancee planned a trip to Kamakura...but the coronavirus came and destroyed that dream...
    I hope to go in this winter and see this amazing place, and the giant buddah!!

    Your video motivated us to include the day-trip to Kamakura from Tokyo in our upcoming Japan trip in November-2023. Can I use IC Card in Enoden line train? Do I scan it after getting into the train or at the platform gate of the station?

    • @tokyocheapo
      @tokyocheapo  11 месяцев назад

      You can use an IC card on Enoden and you scan at the platform gate.

    They wouldn't issue me a goshuin because my book wasn't made from "Japanese paper." Despite there already being 6 other hand written goshuins in it 🙄. Pretty sure it was good old fashion discrimination.

      Hi there! If you check Google Maps at night when the trains have stopped, it will show a longer time than it actually takes 😊

    Is Kamakura still suitable in January? I’ll be going in the second week next month

    • @tokyocheapo
      @tokyocheapo  7 месяцев назад

      You'll want to pack warmer clothes but there's usually a lot of clear weather days in January, great for walking around Kamakura. With the clearer skies, you should also have more luck in seeing Mt. Fuji 😊

    Is the Shonan-Shinjuku train station different than the Shinjuku station? I can't seem to find the Shonan-Shinjuku on a map. Thank you.

      @tokyocheapo  5 месяцев назад

      Hi there! Apologies for the previous comment. Shōnan-Shinjuku is a train line that runs between Shinjuku Station and Kamakura Station. So hop on this train at Shinjuku Station. Have a lovely trip! 😊
