Day Trip from Tokyo: Kamakura! Top places to go to in Kamakura!

Konnichiwa, everyone!
Looking for a place to go to outside of Tokyo with a totally different vibe? Kamakura is the place to go! Only an hour and a half by train, Kamakura is an amazing place to go to to learn more about the history of Japan, relax by the beach, enjoy street food, and take a ton of beautiful photos! 10/10 highly recommend!

[@hannahannabobana]

I remember making a research paper on this in high school. I don't think me and my dad did a great job. lol This is a beautiful place!!!

[@whatchuHANAdo]

Oh no way?? What was your research paper about?? I love that though! Haha

[@Quaker521]

What a lovely place to visit, the gardens were especially beautiful. All of the food looked delicious but the biggest treat had to be that sunset over Mt Fuji. Thank you for the upload Hana, great video.

[@whatchuHANAdo]

Yes! The gardens were absolutely amazing! I would showcase every single temple and shrine if I could, there’s sooooo many in Kamakura! It’s such a great place to visit with either your family, your friends, or significant other. There’s something to do for everyone. ☺️ That Mt Fuji view was the cherry on top! A very big cherry!!! Haha I was so in awe! I’ll never get tired of seeing Mt Fuji!

Joyous Christmas to you! Happy to see a new video. Many, many years ago, my father served in the US Army, stationed with the 500th Military Intelligence Brigade at Camp Zama. I have an old photo of him standing with the the Great Buddha of Kamakura. I recognized it immediately. Thanks for sharing.

[@whatchuHANAdo]

Merry Christmas, Becker! Thank you for always watching and for always saying such kind words! ☺️ oh no way?? That is AMAZING! You should take the same exact photo in the future!

[@aimeep5037]

Well, we just switched our 2 nights in Hakone for Kamakura and Enoshima Island!! Thank you!!

[@whatchuHANAdo]

Awww no way?? :) Enjoy Kamakura and Enoshima! The next video we will be uploading will be about Enoshima. :) Don't sleep on Hakone either though...Hakone is also a beautiful place to go to! Planning on making a video on it in the future! Hakone is certainly not a day trip type video but a one night or two night stay! :)

[@user-gg5ve6kz2z]

We did the same

[@sneakysnake4363]

Thanks! I’m not a big shrine fan but the first two on your list caught my eye. I think I will take my husband there because he likes and wants to visit shines

[@whatchuHANAdo]

Lots of shrines in Kamakura! :) I hope you and your husband enjoy despite not being a fan of shrines. :)

[@dreamsnotthings]

Loved Kamakura! Absolutely fantastic. We got some spectacular footage and more importantly created amazing memories!

[@whatchuHANAdo]

Kamakura is awesome! Some people say it’s overrated though? I don’t get it haha Glad you were able to take some amazing footage and created some really cool memories! ❤️

Going in June, hopefully the weather is bearable

[@whatchuHANAdo]

It might be a little rainy but hopefully good weather the day you go! :) June is still much more bearable than July or August!

[@Vespresso]

Really informative video! Would you say all of these locations can be visited in the same day? Would you recommend walking around to get to the areas or is the bus/train a must?

[@whatchuHANAdo]

Thank you so much for watching the video! :) we shot the video all on the same day so you can definitely go to all of them. :) some locations are close to each and you can walk from one to the other, but some will be easier to get to by train/bus. :)

[@nataliepriddle9909]

I died after seeing the first shot! FUJIII

What time in the Fall did you record the scenes? I've been to Japan in October/November and didn't see that much color on the trees, I was kind of disappointed at the time.

[@whatchuHANAdo]

Hello! We shot that video November 23, 2023. :) Even late November not that much color on the trees yet. The weather in Japan has been quite weird lately!

[@captainnerd6452]

@@whatchuHANAdo Thanks Hana! I'm headed back to Japan in mid-March for 4 weeks for sakura season, hopefully I timed it right! I was there for cherry blossoms in '16 and it worked out okay. I'm actually going to stay in Yokohama so I really liked your videos of the area!

[@whatchuHANAdo]

I think you’ll be back in perfect time! :) The blossoms should be blooming around mid-March!
