Serena Kamakura

Kamakura, an exciting seaside community buzzing with surfers, artisans, monks, and families all enjoying the slower pace of life by the beach. It’s the Kyoto of Eastern Japan with mountain trails, Zen temples and sandy beaches. 

Offering the best of all worlds, Kamakura is close to Tokyo for convenience, yet worlds away in atmosphere – safe, clean, and brimming with cultural experiences at every turn.

Seaside

From sunrise swims to sunset glow, Kamakura beaches hum with waves, cafés, longboards, tide pools, and Fuji views clear days.

Zen Temples

Centuries of Zen invite you to slow down, wander Engaku-ji’s cedar paths, climb Kenchō-ji’s hillside for bay views, linger Hase-dera.

Great Buddha

Kōtoku-in’s Great Buddha rests beneath open sky, serene and timeless. Trace bronze folds, drifting clouds, then warm taiyaki and tea.

Forest Trails

Temple trails weave hills, linking shrines, lookouts, bamboo groves. Daibutsu and Genjiyama offer breezy walks, ending at the beach.

Seasonal Color

Kamakura turns with the seasons: cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, fiery maples, festivals, yabusame archery, and bright, crystal winter skies.

Easy Access

Close to Tokyo, Kamakura is easily reached by JR Yokosuka Line, with scenic Enoden rides. Walkable, safe, and ocean-fresh.
