What travelers are saying
- Vicky SilveAbbadia Lariana, Italy612 contributionsWhen you think abou Kamakura, the first thing which comes up to your mind is the Kamakura Daibutsu, the big statue of Buddha. It’s such a mystic experience to find yourself in front of “him” due to its imponence. The temple itself, apart from the Big Buddha, is relaxing and liveable too.Written January 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David NBoston, MA175 contributionsVery nice temple, plenty of little inlets and sub-shrines to check out, including one in a cave. If you can go during late May/early June there are lovely hydrangeas blooming everywhere.Written June 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MadshusCanberra, Australia1,313 contributionsAn attraction in Kamakura is the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. The shrine has a nice lead in through attractive gardens, and there are steep steps going right up to it. It's as good as all the other shrines we've seen so far in Japan.Written February 9, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bonchuaSingapore, Singapore173 contributionsBeautiful temple and shuttle this visit between the big Buddha and walking street will be perfect for a full day outing.

- BROs IN JAPANJapan182 contributionsThe Kenchoji is one of Kamakura’s most important Zen temples and has many great historic sites and nature spots to offer. From the mysterious Butsuden Buddha Hall, a garden designed by a Zen master, to a small mountain shrine protecting the temple itself, visitors can spend a few peaceful hours at this temple.
