Description
Kamakura is a popular tourist destination for Japanese and foreign visitors. It is a place where many Japanese traditions have been preserved along with nature. And it was a birthplace of the Kamakura shogunate known as the samurai regime. We are carrying out a SAMURAI Project to offer a Japanese cultural experience at the Kigen-in temple, usually not open to the public, located in the vicinity of JR Kita-Kamakura Station.
This plan offers the following experiences: Japanese Kimono (In summer, yukata) with a hakama Zen meditation Practice with a wooden sword Trial with a real sword Relaxation at 80 year old tea house
