Today's dose of Kamakura romance has arrived.

Starting from Tokyo and chasing the sunlight, let's dive into the summer vibes of Kamakura's seaside as seen in "Slam Dunk"! As a seasoned driver with 5 years of experience in Japan, I'll share my perspective on how to explore this hidden gem route! - 🚗 Kamakura One-Day Itinerary for Beginners Tokyo Departure → Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine for blessings → Komachi Street shopping → Great Buddha of Kamakura → Shichirigahama for sunset views → Kamakura High School Front for iconic photo spots → Enoshima for golden hour views - 🌟 Attraction Guide Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine ✔ First stop of the day! The ema (wooden prayer plaques) wall at the entrance feels straight out of a Japanese drama! Spent 100 yen to draw a "great fortune" omikuji! 🎫 Admission: Free Great Buddha of Kamakura ✔ Standing at the feet of the Buddha, you'll be truly moved by the craftsmanship! 🎫 Admission: 300 yen/person, additional 20 yen/person to enter the Buddha statue Shichirigahama ✔ White fences + blue ocean + distant snow-capped mountains—every snapshot is desktop wallpaper-worthy! On the way back in the evening, I caught a stunning pink-purple sunset! Kamakura High School Front ✔ The moment the train crosses the zebra crossing instantly brings back the iconic scene of Hanamichi Sakuragi and Haruko Akagi! Enoshima ✔ The island has it all: shrines, shopping streets, aquariums, and even selfie spots with phone stands—perfect for solo travelers! - ⚡️ Insider Tips 1️⃣ Skip the crowds! The Enoden train ride from Kamakura Station to High School Front Station takes 20 minutes, but with a private car, you can be dropped off right at the entrance, saving time to explore more attractions. 2️⃣ Highly recommend visiting during hydrangea season (June-July)! It's as beautiful as a manga scene. 3️⃣ Weather is the best filter! Check the "Japan Meteorological Agency" for sunny forecasts before heading out. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji. - 📢 I'm a guide with over 5 years of experience in Japan, and my greatest joy is helping guests comfortably enjoy the scenery!
