Get ready for a rewarding little climb to one of Kamakura’s quieter gems, Joju-in Temple. You'll ascend a historic flight of 108 steps, which feels like a world away from the bustle below. Once at the top, you’re greeted by a peaceful temple and a truly stunning panoramic view over Yuigahama beach. While it's especially famous for its beautiful hydrangeas in early summer (June), the serene atmosphere and incredible coastal scenery make it a special stop any time of year.

  • Open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
