About Tokyo Kamakura (Free Enoden Experience)

You will ride the nostalgic Enoden electric railway, stand before the majestic Great Buddha, and explore the sacred Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine with the convenience of round-trip transfers and an English-speaking guide.

Local Legends & Stories

Legend says that the Great Buddha of Kamakura was originally housed in a massive wooden temple, but after it was destroyed by a tsunami in the late 15th century, the bronze statue remained sitting peacefully outdoors, symbolizing resilience and enlightenment. Additionally, Enoshima Island is deeply tied to the myth of the dragon god who fell in love with the goddess Benzaiten, shaping the island's spiritual landscape.

  • Stroll down the bustling Komachi Street to sample local street food and hunt for unique traditional souvenirs.

Hidden Gems

  • Look out for the hidden washing basin at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, which offers a serene and photogenic moment away from the main crowds.

  • Keep an eye out for the friendly local cats lounging around the steep staircases and quiet alleys of Enoshima, making it a secret paradise for feline lovers.

What Makes it Special

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to embark on this tour is during the crisp autumn months of October to November or the cherry blossom season in late March to early April for spectacular scenery. Starting the tour early in the morning allows you to beat the midday crowds at the Great Buddha and capture the Kamakura High School crossing without heavy pedestrian traffic.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

  • Capture the iconic Enoden train passing by the ocean at the Kamakura High School Mae crossing during the golden hour for a magical, cinematic glow.

  • When photographing the Great Buddha, use a wide-angle lens from the lower courtyard to emphasize its massive scale against the surrounding green hills.

  • Please be respectful and avoid using flash photography inside the dimly lit shrine halls or when taking photos of locals and monks.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When visiting Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and the Great Buddha, remember to bow slightly before passing through the torii gates and wash your hands at the purification fountain. It is customary to speak in hushed tones within the shrine precincts and to avoid eating or drinking while walking through the sacred temple grounds.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

  • Visit in mid-September to witness the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine Reitaisai Festival, featuring spectacular Yabusame horseback archery performances by traditional warriors.

  • Experience the magical Enoshima Candle Illumination during the winter months, where the island pathways and botanical gardens are lit by thousands of romantic candles and LED lights.

  • Enjoy the vibrant hydrangea season in June, where the nearby Kamakura hiking trails burst into stunning shades of blue and purple.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

  • Hold onto the handrails tightly when climbing the steep and sometimes uneven stone steps leading up to the Enoshima Shrine, especially if the stones are wet from rain.

  • Stay behind the designated safety lines and watch for oncoming bicycles and pedestrians when taking photos at the busy Kamakura High School railway crossing.

  • Keep your personal belongings secure in crowded areas like Komachi Street and inside the Enoden train carriages during peak tourist hours.

Visitor Information

Entry Fee

This tour package includes the round-trip shared transfer, the Enoden railway experience, and the English-speaking guide, but entrance fees to specific sites like the Great Buddha courtyard and Enoshima shrines may need to be paid separately on-site. Children and seniors often receive discounted entry rates at the individual attractions, so carrying exact change in cash is highly recommended.

Visit Duration

This comprehensive day tour typically lasts around 8 to 10 hours, allowing ample time to explore all major highlights without rushing. If you are short on time during the free periods, prioritize grabbing a quick matcha treat on Komachi Street and securing a good viewing spot at the Kamakura High School crossing.

Accessibility

While the Enoden train and main streets like Komachi-dori are generally wheelchair accessible, the steep stone staircases at Enoshima Shrine and the Great Buddha courtyard pose significant challenges for those with mobility issues. Wheelchair users are advised to enjoy the coastal views from the lower accessible areas and consult the guide for alternative flat routes.
