Day 1

Slow right down in Kamakura, a seaside town of temples in wooded hills and once the seat of Japan's first samurai government. Step into Meigetsu-in Temple, framed by its round window of enlightenment and, in June, banks of blue hydrangeas. Bow at Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū Shrine at the heart of the old capital, then graze your way down Komachi Street. In the afternoon, come face to face with the Great Buddha of Kōtoku-in Temple — a bronze figure more than 11 meters tall, seated calmly in the open air since the 1200s.

Day 2

Head to the coast today. Climb the terraced grounds of Hase-dera Temple, looking out over the sea, and try a quiet sutra-copying session before you go. Then cross the short causeway to Enoshima, climbing the Benzaiten Nakamise Street between souvenir shops and grilled-seafood stalls to Enoshima Shrine and the Sea Candle tower.
