Komachidori
The first stop on your Kamakura-Enoshima Day-Trip from Tokyo is not the Great Buddha statue. Next to Kamakura Station is a large red torii gate, and behind it starts a long and wonderful shopping street, Komachidori.
If you haven’t had breakfast or are ready for a top-up, try some of the wonderful Japanese street food options available along this street.
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine
Komachidori leads to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, a multi-tiered shine that is built into the mountain. It’s still commonly used as a place to pray by locals today, so you may see families dressed up in their Shrine-visit best, paying a visit to the priest.
There are omamori good luck charms you can buy at the top shrine, omikuji fortunes you can draw, and even a small museum of Shinto artifacts you can visit.
