Jun and Mizuki Kamakura Like a Local

Just a few minutes' walk from Kamakura Station, you'll find the peaceful grounds of Hongaku-ji Temple, a lovely escape from the bustle of Komachi Street. It's a place with a rich history, known for its connection to a Buddhist god of luck and for the brightly painted halls. In spring, the weeping cherry blossoms are a spectacular sight, creating a perfect picture against the traditional wooden architecture.
