Kamakura is home to dozens of temples, making it a Buddhist capital. The most famous of these is Kotoku-in Temple, home to the renowned Great Buddha of Kamakura. Get off at Hase Station and walk about ten minutes to reach Kotoku-in Temple. Entrance fee: 200 yen. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by the Great Buddha of Kamakura. A National Treasure of Japan, it's a major tourist attraction in Kamakura, attracting a constant stream of visitors year-round. Including its pedestal, the statue stands 13.35 meters tall. Made of bronze, it's centuries old. Circling the statue, you'll find a small door that allows you to enter and observe its inner workings. The Great Buddha of Kamakura was originally housed in the Great Buddha Hall, but it became an open-air statue after the hall collapsed due to typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Furthermore, when it was first built, it was covered in gold leaf, though only a small amount remains today.

Walking day trip at Kamakura , a very popular temple for a reason. There is a beautiful promenade between the station and shrine. It is easy to access and has good signs. There are nice toilets and a museum. The shrine itself can be busy, so if you want to go inside and do blessings, be prepared to wait a little. Overall very beautiful and worth seeing. It is a Shinto shrine established in 11th century, built in 1828 in the traditional Edo architectural style. Will visit again because here have a lot nearby temple we haven't finish for 1 days trip.
