Next comes the Great Buddha of Kamakura at Kotoku-in Temple, one of Japan's most recognisable bronze statues and a symbol of the city's history. Your cultural exploration continues at the peaceful Hasedera Temple, known for its gardens, wooden Kannon statue and views over the coast.

The day closes on Enoshima Island, with its coastal views, walking paths, shrines and relaxed ocean atmosphere.
