I really liked Kamakura. The sites are easy to find and the city puts up signs for those who donft understand Japanese. There are many buses for tourists to take and a visitorfs center right inside the train station in Kamakura. The sites start in Kitakamakura (North Kamakura) and are an easy but a bit long walk down to the Hachiman Shrine in Kamakura. Then it is quickest to take the bus to the far away temples in the east of town and also south in the town of Hase. Hase has the Great Buddha statue and Hasedera with its Horse Headed Kannon Statue. The statues are beautiful and the people friendly. My favorites were the 5 Great Zen Temples. It is also a joy to wander off the beaten path to the smaller temples that are often quieter than their grand neighbors. A great place to visit! Date posted: July 2009
