What to expect

Join a tour by MagicalTrip, proud winner of the Tripadvisor Best of the Best Award. Each experience is led by a MagicalTrip Certified Guide, professionally trained and carefully selected to ensure quality and authenticity. Begin your journey with a peaceful walk through Kamakura, visiting a shrine famous for its many torii gates and fox statues. Along the way, a local guide will share cultural insights into the relationship between foxes and shrines, Shinto beliefs, and proper shrine etiquette. Continue to a unique cave temple, where you’ll learn about the tradition of washing money for good fortune. Next, enjoy a 30–40 minute forest hike, surrounded by nature and varied terrain, leading to the iconic Great Buddha of Kamakura, an impressive monument with over 800 years of history. Conclude the experience at a temple-run restaurant, where you’ll enjoy local specialties such as udon and vegetable curry.
