I visited Kamakura when I went to Japan, it was one of the highlights of my trip. Well worth the visit.
Informative as always! Excited for the Mount Takao vid
Loved Kamakura! Absolutely fantastic. We got some spectacular footage and more importantly created amazing memories!
Aloha 🤙 from Honolulu! You guys are great fun to watch
Such a gorgeous and professional presentation guys! Breathtaking video 🔥
Wonderful ❤ thank you guys
a very beautiful place ❤️⛩️🇯🇵
great video guys, very helpful in planning my day trip
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your trip 😊
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!
That's awesome! Tsurugaoka Hachimangu and the Great Buddha are fantastic spots. Crowds aside, glad you had a great time exploring! 🏯🗿😊
@@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...😉)
I love Kamakura! Enoshima is another fun stop if you're already in Kamakura :)
So true! We've got a video coming about Enoshima too 😉
@@tokyocheapo Can't wait to check it out! :)
Excellent video, I'll make this one of our daytrip programme during out Nov/Dec Japan trip.
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
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!!
Hope you have a great time when you go!
Love the doge icon 🤣
😊
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?
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.
Good video but when i check in google shinjuku to kamakura station is showing 5hrs and what you are saying is 1hr so bit confused. I want to go to kamakura tomorrow
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
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 😊
If you stay till sunset, will you be okay to get the train back to Tokyo?
Yes you will 😊
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.
Can you please tell me how to get from the Shinjuku station to the one I need to catch?
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! 😊
we'll be going the last week of October. is it still nice then?
Yes, usually nice weather in October 👍
