JAPAN TOURISM / CITY & KAMAKURA STATUE
Kamakura, the capital of the first Japanese shogunate (1185-1333), was once angry at a UNESCO approval stamp. With the title Kam Kamakura, House of Samurai Samurai, there are several places to be included in the proposal. It was rejected by UNESCO in 2013, who concluded that the tangible testimonies of the shogun's powerful places, not temples, were few in number and often unclear.
The medieval city of the plains was deserted and today has been covered by urban development of the 20th century.
And, after seeing Daibutsu - the city's famous 13-meter-tall Amida Buddha statue - it's easy to feel Kamakura falling. Souvenir shops, food, entrance fees, tourist groups: At first glance it seems.
Set in the coastal Kanagawa prefecture, Kamakura is only an hour away by train on the Yokosuka Line from Tokyo. Near Kamakura Station, tourists gather Komachi-dori on their way to Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine, take pictures of food with the background of the stall they have just bought from there, mulling the chaotic crowds around shops and menus , go into every other store That doesn't mean it's not lovely. Who doesn't enjoy the bizarre weekend atmosphere that you can only escape from another town for a day or two?
Despite being advised by UNESCO advisers, Kamakura is still attractive. Its temples and shrines, many of them, are worth a visit. If you like temples and shrines, you'll find Kamakura a real place to have fun.

Going to Hase Temple. Located on the road to Daibutsu, this is a fairly compact temple, featuring everything a good Buddhist institution should have, including an interesting origin story. In 721, a monk named Tokudo placed two giant statues of Kannon (a merciful deity depicted with 11 heads) from a sacred camphor tree - one for Hase Temple in Nara Prefecture , the other is sent to the sea to find a resting place. and help alleviate humanity's suffering. The second statue was eventually washed away on a beach on the Miura Peninsula near Kamakura and there it was kept in 736.
The temple also has a cave through which you can scramble in the dark in hopes of enlightenment; a small pond with a swastika (manji in Japanese, in case you're wondering); modest gardens; a rinzou, a rotating wooden bookcase that stores classics and scriptures, when turned on, is said to be as good as reading them (accessible on the 18th each month to increase reading speed); lots of steps; a restaurant and a cafe; and views of the beach and town below.
Later, there was Kakigara Inari Temple in the temple's garden, where seashells were hung in ema form (votive tablets) because when Kannon's statue appeared on the beach, it was covered with oysters. is said to have brought it to its final destination. It was a nice touch.
You'll find more new ways to worship, or at least bring yourself luck and merit, at Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku, also known as Zeniarai Benten, dedicated to Ugajin related to Benzaiten, kami has a body. snake, human head. Zeniarai is about money laundering. (In zenay, old coins have square holes and arai means washing). Not that your money is dirty (although it may be so, and not figuratively speaking), laundering your money in pure spring that cheats into a cave pool here is lucky: Doing so gets paid back to you and then some.
Zaru (wood sieve) is provided for the purpose of losing your money - including notes. The money is supposed to dry naturally, although I see a couple patting ¥ 10,000 on flute bills. A cheeky worshiper is washing her credit card. Imagine profits.
Arriving at Zeniarai Benten through the entrance to the tunnel, bored through a ridge into the temple's natural theater, felt very adventurous. This is not the only place you can feel the historical routes of old world Japan jump to life.
Kamakura is considered such a strategic sound spot because it has been and is still surrounded on three sides of the mountains. The famous route into the first capital of Minamoto no Yoritomo is called the Seven entrances of Kamakura. Some used to climb the flattened hills into narrow paved roads, but some were still rustic and primed for walking.
The Nagoe Pass - connecting Kamakura with the Miura Peninsula - is a narrow scramble of a route that is one of the most adventurous, least populated ways to experience the history of the former capital. At its narrowest point, a rugged obstacle of a trail, you can almost feel the panic of potential attackers. The trail is also home to the Mandarado Yagura mausoleum:
the most famous example of yagura, the tomb of Kamakura's cliff; Coffin-sized spaces carved into the rock, the final resting place of samurai, monks and artisans.
More hiking is available on the 90-minute Daibutsu Hiking Trail, connecting Kitakamakura with the main road running southeast to Daibutsu. Somewhere in the middle is the picturesque Itsuki garden, a cafe where you can exchange sweat and mud possible on your walk for coffee and baking. The steps at the end of Daibutsu come out at the old Daibutsuzaka Gymnasium, an abandoned brick building, which draws visitors from behind its fence and overgrown.

Indeed, old buildings that are neither temples nor temples appear throughout Kamakura, part of 20th-century urban development that has made UNESCO's hope successful. There is The Bank, a smoke-filled cocktail lounge set in a Showa Era bank (1926-89). There's Capdeporc, an expert store focused on Catalan and Spanish books, records and other curiosities, housed in an apartment building currently in use on its way to Kamakura Beach Park.
There is a real estate agent near Kamakura Station in an old wood shop complete with old wavy windows; and an adjoining renovation and interior design company in a similar setting in an old liquor store. There is an impromptu stand bar in the isolated corner of the entrance behind Takasakiya, a liquor store in Onari-dori. Near Daibutsu, Bread Code bakes loaves of bread, and just loaves of bread, in a traditional corner setting polished with renovated coolness. The charming Casa Kamakura Espresso Pub & Bed is a motel, cafe and bar housed in a renovated corrugated iron building.
Countless establishments from cafes and butchers to bars and factories are reviving the city's dead buildings. Not valuable to UNESCO, but valuable to the town's life and something that Kamakura cannot see again. Beneficial carcasses remain popular; what will live them next, and imagine how they will be used, is part of the fun.
Yuigahama Beach is home to an incredible blend of robotic surfers and sunhat travelers looking for the perfect photo. | RUSSELL THOMAS
I visited Kamakura a week before Typhoon Faxai is expected to come in 2019 and I love the lack of storm tourists in front of Yuigahama beach.
The heat of summer turns this place into a controlled wilderness of tanned bodies, tattoos, bikinis and surfing. The coastline is lined with wooden beach houses, some of them are spacious vending machines, where sand-foot beachers flirt with high balls, while others are mechanical. Department of high class cafe style. There is even a Thai village to complete the subtropical beach feeling.
Colliding with this florid, fervent beach culture are people who don't really use the beach, but just come to see it. Their closet is clearly inspired by Victorians, women in ao dai, ao dai and sunhat come here for a chance to take photos, dip their hands in the sea, engrave a summoning message into the sand stick.
The storm, and the end of the beach season, alleviated the proceedings when the beach becomes a building, or rebuild, site. Undeterred, and with the strong tendency to ignore ugly backgrounds, people continue. Surfing is a pastime not to be missed.

Follow the surfers from the beach, away from incidents and sea salt, to the incredibly charming streets of Sakanoshita - a traditional Japanese village implanted on the coast. Here, people sit, eat snacks and laugh around the table in the yard of a windsurfing club; a mother riding a mamachari bike to her home.
The famous bakery, motel and pancakes at Cafe Sakanoshita make this area a great place with rustic perfection and surfing-friendly laziness. Staying at Diner & Hostel Ushio, a renovated bungalow with dormitories is located at the door of the area.
Nearby, watch the flow of the Inase River from the beach towards the heavily trafficked road that leads to Daibutsu. Stop at Cafe Luonto, grab a chair by the window and an iced coffee, and watch the Enoden trains come in and out of Hase station right in front of you. This cafe, owned by a friendly coffee lover with a pack of Marlboro Reds in his t-shirt pocket, features colorful themed sea and ship art on the wall: paintings of scenery artful seaside that th
This city occasionally echoes. Think that Saint Ives overcame with Yanaka.
The spaces between tourist attractions in Kamakura are coils of curiosity, the contrast of renovations and off-religious religious sites. Your time in the city after you see Daibutsu, and even paid ¥ 200 to get bored inside the statue and feel the heat of cooked metal, is more precious than you think.
