Kamakura was the ancient Japanese capital. Compact and ideal for walking; this small seaside city attracts large numbers of tourists who come to see the zen temples and shinto shrines scattered across the city.
I first visited Kamakura in 2014. My main recollection from that first trip, aside from the large numbers of tourists, was the amount of religious buildings. The city is crammed full of spectacular temples and shrines.
Kamakura is home to the world’s largest bronze buddha statute – the DAIBUTSU
