About Kita-Kamakura and Kamakura:
Kamakura is most popular place for Japanese and visitors from overseas to see more of the traditional side of Japan. It is thought to be as a mini-Kyoto and only little more than an hour away from Tokyo! There are alot of temples around Kita-Kamakura and Kamakura station. More about the history and detailed information about temples can be found on Kamakura Today.

Message from MotherIt is very quiet here in North Kamakura so it's the perfect place to come and relax. The path which leads from the station to my house is surrounded by trees, grass and flowers so you can really appreciate the current season. Even though my house is nothing spectacular, I would love for you to come. I think living in a local house and experiencing traditional Japanese home life is an experience all travellers should have. Please come and visit whenever you would like! |  |
