A Slice of Zen in Bustling Kamakura

Shonan Area Multi day 1

In the Nikaido area, which has a calm atmosphere even in bustling Kamakura, you can enjoy a morning activity to cleanse your mind through traditional culture. After participating in a zazen session held every Sunday morning from 7:30 a.m. at Hokokuji Temple, take a break with sweets and powdered green tea surrounded by the autumn leaves at Ichijo Ekan Sanso's coffee shop. At Kamakura-gu Shrine, known for its wide variety of goshuin (red seals), you can enjoy monthly and seasonal goshuin and refresh yourself with a clean and fresh morning.
