鎌倉にみんなが来る理由(東京のおすすめ日帰り旅行)

Just 1 hour from Tokyo, there’s a coastal 
getaway where beaches meet century-old temples, Mount Fuji sets the horizon on fire, and where 
every bite feels like an adventure of its own. This is Kamakura, and today I’m taking you 
from sand to shrines, chasing the best views, biggest flavors, and moments most visitors miss. 
But is this Tokyo’s ultimate beach escape? Let me show you. Ohayō and good morning, my friends. 
Right now we are on Yuigahama Beach, which is the main beach here in Kamakura, and it is the 
perfect place to start any day—especially this one—for our adventure. And look at the day that we 
got. Amazing blue skies, soft sand, gentle waves, and this breeze that is just perfection. And 
that breeze actually makes for some really good windsurfing and surfing, which makes this one of 
the most accessible surfing destinations in Japan. And there are so many people out there right now 
enjoying these waves. There’s beginners, experts, you can take lessons. And if surfing isn’t your 
thing, you can just float around in the water, go jet skiing, or hang out on the 
beach, which is pretty awesome.  And this isn’t just beautiful—it’s also a Blue 
Flag beach, which is only one of 12 in Japan. And that means that it has exceptionally clean 
water, safety like lifeguards from 9 until 5. They also have some of the cleanest sand that I 
have ever seen. And every morning there are people   out here picking up the small pieces that float in 
on the tide. And it’s just a super special place. And sorry for this, but since I woke up this 
morning, I have had that Beach Boys song stuck in my head. You know the one.
🎵 Let’s go surfing 
now. Everybody’s learning how. Come to Kamakura with me.
Come to Kamakura with me early in the 
morning.
We’ll be starting out some honeys.
We’ll be heading our way.
We’re loading up our booty 
with our boards inside and heading out singing our song.
Come surfing safari. Come surfing safari. 🎵
Sorry.
I cracked myself up. And there’s more to the beach than just the 
beach. There’s also a lot of restaurants where you can go and chill, as well as bars. And 
at night, the sunsets here are just amazing as you watch the surfers come in and the sun come 
down behind the mountain on the end of the beach. So special. I love coming down here at night 
and during the day and in the afternoon. Okay, any time of the day, this is a great place to be.
And getting here is super easy from Tokyo. It’s about an hour ride from most of the main 
stations. And when you arrive at Kamakura Station, you just hop right on the Enoden Line for two 
stops to the Yuigahama Station, and then it’s a 5-minute walk right down to this beautiful beach.
So, what do you think of the beach so far? Would you come here for the chill or the thrill? 
Leave me a comment down below and let me know. Now, as great as this beach is, it does get a 
little bit crazy during the day. So I’m about to take you to a much calmer one, as well 
as this viewpoint that has some amazing views. But before we go, there is something 
that I wanted to bring up that is really important—potentially save-your-life important. 
Whenever you are on the beach or coast in Japan, you need to be aware of tsunamis.
And two weeks ago, when I was here, I was not aware, and the tsunami alarms went 
off while I was standing right on this very spot. And it was terrifying. Fortunately, the 
local people were so kind and helped me find the tsunami shelter and also just really 
made the whole experience bearable. And I’m so grateful to them. So thank you to all 
of those Kamakura locals. You are the best. But if I had been prepared, I could have 
handled the situation much better. And being prepared means keeping those peepers peeping 
for things like the tsunami evacuation routes, as well as the signs that tell you the safe 
zones and elevations that you should be at.   And I wasn’t paying attention because I didn’t 
even think of it. So it could have potentially cost me my life if that tsunami had come.
I actually made a video of the entire experience. If you want to check it out, I’ll put a link down 
below. But I just—I know how easy it is to forget about the power of the ocean, especially on a 
day like this where it is so beautiful and so calm. But it can change in an instant. And the 
difference between life and death is knowing. So please be careful when you’re here. I’m not 
saying to be scared, but if you’re prepared,   then you don’t need to be scared. So please—I care 
about you—do the right thing. Be a responsible traveler and pay attention to these things.
But that was a lot right there. Let’s go have some more fun, head down to the end of the 
beach, and continue with this adventure. What a gorgeous day. The beach always 
brings out the best in me. And right now, we are on a 20-minute walk over to Cape 
Enomoragasaki to get that view. And along the way, I wanted to tell you a little bit about the very 
cool history and temples that are here. Because if you think that Kamakura is just beaches, 
then all I can really say is beach, please. Anyway, back in 1185, this is where the 
samurai empire began. And while they ruled for those hundreds of years, they 
actually shaped the art, architecture, and values of the Japan that we all love today. 
So when you’re walking through the streets here, it’s actually like you’re walking in the steps 
of the samurai, which I just think is amazing. Now, they also have temples all over the city, but 
there are three that I really wanted to highlight because they are very special. The first one is 
Hasedera Temple, and it is a treasure here. When you go inside, they have these amazing gardens and 
koi ponds, and if you climb up to the top of the gardens, you actually get this incredible view 
of the city and beach. They also have thousands of Jizō statues, which are the protectors 
of children that have died, been unborn, or are missing. And you can go there and pay 
respect to them. It’s a very special place and something that should be on the top of your list.
The second one is the Hokokuji Temple, also known as the Bamboo Temple, and it has 
this beautiful bamboo forest that you can go and stroll through and just soak up that 
peace and nature. It is really special. And the final one — and my favorite — is the Great 
Buddha of Kamakura. This 13-meter bronze Buddha is the second largest in Japan and is known as the 
Buddha of perfect compassion and peace. And when you’re standing there looking up at his face, you 
can really feel it. And you can even go inside of this massive Buddha statue. It was built in 30 
different stages over 750 years ago. You can see the seams and how they put it together, all the 
way up to the Buddha’s head. Pretty cool, right? You know, understanding the history of a place is 
the thing that makes it that much more special. And the beaches here are beautiful. The town 
is very cool. We’re going to be going there   in a little bit to check it out and eat some 
amazing food. But understanding how this tiny town helped to shape Japan is just like the 
next level. And I’m so grateful that I could share it with you. And I hope that when you come 
here, you can feel it too, because it’s amazing. Now, we are just around the corner 
from our next destination on the cape,   and I cannot wait to share it with you. But 
before we go over there, I wanted to thank some people that helped make today possible. And 
those are my newest patrons — Richard, John, Ken, and Tina. Your support and generosity are just so 
special, and you’re what helps to keep me going, creating these adventures. So go, my friends. And 
if you would like to join my Patreon community, I will put a link in the description below.
Now, let’s head over and get that view I’ve been telling you about. And a little extra 
surprise — I’m going to be showing you one of   the most amazing sunsets that I have ever seen in 
just a little bit, so make sure to stick around. Welcome to Cape Enomoragasaki. This is one of the 
best natural views that you can get of the ocean here in Kamakura. And just down below me is a 
small park with a massive view where you can lay in the grass, listen to the waves, 
watch the surfers down in the water,   and just get this beautiful view of the 
coastline all the way out to the horizon — where on a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji.
And right here is Enoshima Island, which is a really special place that you have got to check 
out when you are here. So, I am going to right now walk over to the train that we took down here this 
morning — it’s about seven minutes away — take the seaside train down there, show you that beach 
I was talking about, and why you need to visit here. But first, check out that sunset I was 
telling you about, because it will blow your mind. This is one of those moments right now in 
traveling that I live for. And you know, I’ve dreamed of seeing Mount Fuji since I was 
just a little boy. And this is my first time seeing it — the mother of mountains right there 
on the horizon. She’s there in the clouds. Look at how the light is shooting off into the sky, 
with the blue above it and the oranges and the yellows and the reds. And it is such a perfect 
moment. And being able to share it with you at home is what makes this so special for me, and I 
am so grateful for you being part of this journey. So go, my friends. Thank you. 
Now, let’s get back to the fun. ell me that sunset was not amazing. I 
dream about it at night. It was so good. But right now, we are at Katase Nishihama, which 
is the beach that I’ve been telling you about. It is also a Blue Flag beach and one of the most 
popular in the area, but it’s not normally that busy — especially because it is so wide. It also 
has much calmer water here because it’s inside of a bay. So it’s where you can really go and 
enjoy the water without too many of the waves. Right now it is the summer festival, 
so there are actually a lot of people   here. They even have this little amusement 
park water slide thing out in the water, and people are out on their jet skis and 
set up in their tents for the day. It   still doesn’t feel too crowded. But if you 
come here in a week or in the off-season, there’s not many people here at all, 
which makes it even more special.  And right down at the end here is Enoshima 
Island. And this is a place that you could do an entire trip to for a day on 
its own. It’s absolutely so cool. When you walk across the bridge, you go up this 
narrow road that passes through lots of shops and restaurants, and then you get to the entrance of 
the temple. Now, there are 236 steps that go up, and I recommend taking the steps. This way, you 
can have some extra dessert with me later. But if   you don’t want to, they also have an elevator.
As you ascend the stairway to heaven — if you want to call it that — you actually walk through 
multiple different temples that are so gorgeous, with fountains. You come across these views 
of the ocean. There are restaurants and coffee shops that you can chill out in and just 
look out at the coast that are so nice. And as you continue up, you go through sort of a 
little town with more restaurants. And if you go all the way down to the end, you come to the ocean 
where you can sit on the water, and the waves are breaking on the rocks just a few feet away.
And then if you follow the path, you will come to this really cool cave system that is filled 
with hidden Buddhas — and a dragon in one of them. And if you come down here during the day, 
I say come in the afternoon because you can go over to the Candle Lighthouse, which 
is definitely the prime-time spot here. And going up for sunset was really, really good.
You head up to the top, and usually around 5:00 or 6:00, the air gets cool enough that you 
can actually see Mount Fuji — which is what I got to do. And it was like it wasn’t there… 
and then it appeared out of nowhere. So cool. Then around 7:00 or 8:00 every night, they 
have fireworks right next to it — which is just a whole other layer of cool. And as you’re 
walking down, you will actually come through all of these lantern-lit paths, as well as some of the 
temples lit up with these really colorful lights. And don’t worry — the last train goes back to 
Tokyo around 11:00, so you have plenty of time to get there, because it’s only about a 20-minute 
walk from the island back to the train station. And I know we’ve been talking about this as sort 
of a day trip, but I recommend coming out here for at least a few days if you have the time — 
because there is so much to do and so much to see. I’m also getting really hungry right 
now. I don’t know about you guys,   but I’m pretty starving. So right now, I am going 
to head back into town to the train station, and we are going to go and explore the main street 
— Komachi Street — that has over 250 restaurants and shops in less than a kilometer.
And we are going to eat so much food   we might explode. I will see you there.
All right, we have arrived back at Kamakura Station, and we just went out the east exit. And 
the street that we’re heading to is just across the parking lot here. You can also get buses 
to all over the city from here to a lot of the very cool attractions that we didn’t go to today.
But man, I really like this place. It really is the ultimate escape — the ultimate beach escape 
— from Tokyo. Because it’s not just beaches. And the beaches are great. But they have that 
history, those fireworks, the temples, the fun. And now… for the food.
Welcome to Komachi Street. This is the most dangerous 350 m here 
in Kamakura. And it’s dangerous because every step has something that you are going to 
want to put in your mouth. I’m talking savory, sweets — and there’s some fun animal cafés along 
the way. But please don’t put the animals in your mouth, people. No matter how cute they are.
Anyway, I have already grabbed our first treat, which I think we’re going to try at least six 
today. But the first one is right here. And   these are some giant shrimp shumai. They 
were just steaming in the little steamer and they look absolutely shrimp-credible.
Mmm. Wow. So tender. So juicy. There are some huge chunks of shrimp in there. And I 
can honestly say this is shrimplythe best. All right, let’s keep going. Now, the next place 
I wanted to highlight is Dragon Burger. And I know you’re thinking, “Adam, why are you eating a 
burger? You’re in Japan.” But the truth is — I’m   American. I’m a carnivore. And I love burgers. 
And this place will really meat your expectations. I went with the wasabi burger, which 
has cheddar cheese, crispy onions,   seaweed, and wasabi mayonnaise. It was 
delicious — and like a punch in the mouth. All right, so the next one I already took 
a bite of. Sorry. It just smelled so good.   It’s from the Giraffa Curry Bread Shop and it’s 
really famous here. They have this really soft doughnut-like bread on the outside and it’s 
filled with a curry made from beef, pork, and apples — and it is just appley amazing. 
Apple-credible. Pork-icious. Pork-ian. Wow. And cheese, apparently. 
Do you guys want a bite?  Now, before I mentioned all of those animal 
cafés in town — so while we’re pigging out, I wanted to share my favorite one, which is 
the Kamakura Pig Park right here behind me. For 800 yen, I got to spend 30 minutes with 
five of the cutest little pieces of bacon that you have ever seen. They were just 
cuddling up to me and it was so much fun. And that makes this part a little bit harder — but 
it was an oinking good time. I actually stopped by the Kama Ham Plus and picked up a little pig 
nose made from their fresh sausages as well as a traditional korokke — or a potato croquette — that 
is stuffed with bacon. So, let’s jump into these. Mmm. Wow. That is crispy on the outside. The 
potato is so nice and warm. And there are big chunks of bacon in there.
Okay, and now let’s try our little pig nose. Oink oink.
Oh wow. That’s like Christmas ham right there. Amazing. There’s nothing 
wrong with being cute and delicious. Man, this street is busy right now. I mean, I get 
it. There’s so many shops to get souvenirs in, some nice clothes, restaurants, and 
of course — all of this street food. I wonder what we should have next… 
ooh, I see it right over here. Oi. Oishii! I’ll take some oshi scallops.
I am so excited. We’re in Kamakura, we’re at the beach — we have to have some 
fresh seafood. And I just ordered a local   Kamakura beer as well. Wow, that is so good.
So cold, so fresh, so Kamicoolura. And I can actually see them grilling up my scallops 
right now. I cannot wait to jump into that. Oh yes. Thank you. Thank you, arigatou. 
Look at these bad boys right there. Yeah. Dripping with seafood scallop deliciousness.
Mmm. Wow. So tender, so firm. And that spice 
you just put on it just kicks it right up a notch. I love this. I’m going to 
wash it down with a little more beer. Wow.
All right, so what should we do   next? Is it time for sweets yet? I feel like we’ve 
done a lot of savory already. So I’m going to finish this up and we’re going to go out and try 
some of the amazing desserts that they have here.  I’ll see you in a few.
Oh… The best.
All right, now the sweets hunt is on. Man, so much to eat here. I mean, I could literally 
spend a week just eating food on this street. We don’t have a week — so let’s go pack in some more.
Hello! Could I do the, uh… yeah? Okay. Three minutes? Okay.
Look at this thing! Oh my gosh — looks amazing. Let’s go find a spot around the corner here.
Oh yeah. I picked up a shaved ice from the Maison de Cacao. And it’s more like a choco-vuvious 
than a shaved ice to me. Looks like it’s erupting with flavor. Let’s try this out. 
Get some of that whipped cream on there…  Oh man.
Wow. That is a chocolotta of flavor. And it’s so perfect on this hot day. Like, I’ve been 
sweating all day — this is cooling me right down. It’s like the shaved ice has the chocolate 
in it, and then there’s more whipped cream,   more chocolate, and chocolate chips in there. Wow.
Oh — and I just got it all over me. That’s why I’m not allowed to have nice 
things — literally all over me.  Mmm. I’m going to finish this up and we’re going 
to go find some more sweets. I have no idea how I made such a mess of myself already.
So we did some chocolate dessert…   how about some fruit dessert?
Oh, my original Japanese candied apples. I think I have to try one of these.
All right, so I got my candied apple. Very excited. I haven’t had a candied apple since I 
was a little kid on Halloween, and my mom dressed   me up as either a pterodactyl or an astronaut. 
Thanks, Mom. All the kids laughed at me ‘cause I had to wear tights — but I still love you and 
I appreciate all that effort you put in for me. Let’s unwrap this baby. Oh man. It’s like 
a little piece of art. Look at that. Wow. I’m going to jump right into that. I 
don’t even want to — it looks too good. All right, let’s do it. Will it compare 
with an American authentic candied apple? We’ll find out together.
Oh yeah — that broke my teeth. Mmm. Wow, that’s really good. That apple is 
so sweet. And the candy — it’s almost like turning into bubble gum in there.
Mmm. Need one more bite of that. Wow, that is really good.
I really wasn’t 
expecting to find a candied apple here in Japan, but they know what they’re doing.
Thank you 
for exposing me to my childhood love of candied apples. I appreciate you, Japan.
What should we 
do next?
H—maybe some matcha.
Ooh, I’ve seen some matcha treats around here that have looked really 
good.
And I’m pretty sure that the matcha soft serve or some of the other matcha stuff is going 
to go really well after this sweet—maybe mellow it   down a little bit.
Let’s get back on the road.
So, I’m out on the matcha hunt, but I saw this store with really cool stickers.
And because I 
travel so light, I don’t really have room for   real souvenirs, so I usually go with stickers.
And 
this place has thousands of some of the coolest that I have ever seen.
And the staff is so 
nice.
They speak English and they’re so friendly,   and they’re helping me find the best 
ones.
So, I will show you what I got when we get outside and find our matcha.
But 
for right now—remember—support local business and always enjoy the journey.
Thank you, Arato.
All right.
So instead of going with a matcha dessert, I went with some matcha latte and 
a treat, but I need to find a place to eat it.
All right, I got my spot down one 
of the alleys.
It’s really busy today,   but I get it. I do.
Let me just take one more 
sip of this and then we’ll try the dessert. Man, I love that so mucha.
Sorry, I’ve been saving 
that one.
And now for the flan.
Mmm, I haven’t had flan since I was in Mexico.
Oh wow. It’s like 
boom.
So nice and firm.
Look at that caramel dripping off of it.
That’s fantastic.
I’m just 
going to say—you definitely can’t miss this one. And I feel like the desserts in Japan 
are just slightly less sweet than other   places.
And it really lets you get the flavor 
of things.
Even their wasabi is less wasabi.
Oh, that is so good.
I’m going to take a little sip of 
the juice down on the bottom…
And a little more matcha.
Wow. Flan, matcha latte—it’s a matcha 
made in heaven.
Sorry, that one just hit me. All right, there’s a couple more places I want to 
stop as we head down the road.
So, let’s finish   this up—or I’ll finish this up—and I’ll see you 
back out there.
Oh wait, I forgot to show you my cool stickers that I got.
That was a close one.
Got my little B-side bag here.
Now, I ended up getting five and they threw in an extra one as 
a gift.
But they’re so cool.
So, I went with the shooting trip around-the-world Explore—that one 
works for me.
This is a traditional one. It says “sauna” in the kanji—sauna 24 hours a day.
I like 
that.
And then there’s this one—it says “tōno,” which is the term they use at Japanese saunas 
for after you get out of the hot and the cold, just sitting there naked as your body 
re-equalizes.
This is the feeling that you get. It’s the tōno.
Also a very 
cool thing you should try out when   you’re here.
I got one of the passes for the 
trains as a sticker—very cool.
Great memory. I got one of these little cute guys—I forget what 
they’re called—but they are very cool and a big   part of Japanese culture.
And then my favorite 
one: shark sushi.
Uh, this one cracks me up.
And then, where’s the special one they gave me? That 
was a gift.
Hold on. Hold on.
It’s probably in here… unless she pulled the switcho-chango on 
me.
Oh, here it is!
And that is Mount Fuji with some cool little cats down in the corner.
Okay, now we can go and get the rest of our treats.
Now, our next treat is Daibutsu 
Yaki—or Buddha Cakes.
And if you are coming to Kamakura and not trying one of these cute 
little guys, then you are definitely missing out.
Instead of being filled with Nirvana, 
they’re filled with things like custard,   red beans, or what I got: the blueberry jam and 
cream cheese.
So, I’m really looking forward to this.
I hear it is enlightenment for your 
taste buds.
Let’s try it out together. Look at that cute little guy—I love it.
I feel so 
peaceful just looking at him.
Mmm.
Look at that right there—the blueberry, the cream cheese.
Sort 
of like a waffle and a pancake put together.
A real bite of Buddha bliss right here.
Keep on going.
All right, well we are almost at the end of the street.
So, I am 
going to grab a beer and one last treat,   and we are going to enjoy them together.
Now 
it’s time to say goodbye to Kamakura-Komachi. I ate so much I might be sick, but that’s 
okay with me.
We’ve actually reached the end of the road, but I did grab two amazing 
treats before we go.
The first one is a local Kamakura beer.
And the next one is a matcha 
crepe—it is crème brûlée flavored.
Look at this thing—it is massive.
Absolutely crazy.
I just watched her make it—putting the   layers of cream, and berries, and nuts, and 
then baking the top here.
It was just fun to watch.
But I cannot wait to taste it.
Let me just 
take a sip of the beer first.
Man, that’s so good. All right, now check out the 
size of this—it is huge.
I’m just going to bite right into the top.
Mmm… 
all over my shirt.
Once again—wow.
This is like the best crème brûlée I’ve ever had.
And 
then you throw it inside some fresh-made   matcha crepe.
That’s uncrêpeing believable.
But as I said, we are down at the end of the road now.
And I think we had a pretty amazing 
day.
The beaches, the weather, the Buddhas, the temples, the views, the fireworks, and then 
the food—this little extravaganza we just did.
So, thank you so much for being here with me.
And 
the adventures are not stopping anytime soon.
I have so many more beautiful parts of Japan that I 
want to share with you.
So make sure to stick with   me.
And if you enjoyed this video, please give 
me a big thumbs up, comment, subscribe, and don’t forget to DLING, DLING, DLING, DLING the bell!
I will see you soon, my friends.
And arigatou gozaimasu for being here.
Sayonara.
Flan-el.
A dessert I can depend on.
There’s no ifs, ands, or flans 
about it—this is delicious.
These are definitely not going in this video.
They’re 
even bad for me.
But that flan is flantastic.

I was completely blown away by soft-sand beaches, incredible history, friendly locals, and how easy it was to experience it all in a single day. Standing in front of the Great Buddha of Kamakura was unforgettable… and watching the sun drop behind Mount Fuji as the sky turned to fire was one of the most breathtaking moments of my life.

Kamakura is a place where you can start your morning by the sea, wander through a bamboo forest, stand beneath a giant Buddha, explore island caves guarded by dragons, climb to the Sea Candle lighthouse for sunset views, and end the night with lantern-lit streets, fireworks, and food you’ll never forget.

🗺️ In this Japan Travel Guide, I’ll take you through the perfect Kamakura adventure:

🏖️ Yuigahama Beach — Blue Flag clean sand, gentle waves, lifeguards, and the heart of Kamakura’s seaside life
🏝️ Katase Nishihama Beach — wide sandy bay across from Enoshima, calmer waters, summer festivals, and fireworks
⛩️ Hasedera Temple, Hokokuji Bamboo Temple, and the iconic Great Buddha of Kamakura
🌅 Inamuragasaki Cape & Enoshima Island — Fuji views, shrines, dragon caves, the Sea Candle lighthouse, and a jaw-dropping sunset
🍜 Komachi Street — shrimp shumai, wasabi burgers, Buddha cakes, candied apples, matcha crepes, and so much more! 250+ restaurants and food stalls in less than 1 km

👉 Beaches. Temples. Fuji. Dragons. Food. Fireworks. Kamakura has it all — This is really Tokyo’s best day trip!

💡 Travel Tips:

🚆 Access: JR train from Tokyo → Kamakura Station (1 hr). Enoden line connects the beaches, temples, and Enoshima.
🍴 Pro tip: Arrive hungry — komachi dori street is one of Japan’s best food walks.
💧 Stay hydrated — especially in the summer heat.
💴 Bring cash — many smaller shops and temples don’t take cards.
⛩️ Respect temple etiquette — wash your hands at the water basin before entering.
🚍 Getting around: Local trains and buses are convenient. A day pass or a prepaid card like Pasmo or Suica makes it simple.
🌊 Safety: Pay attention to tsunami evacuation signs. While unlikely, it’s always smart to know your safe zones. Be a responsible traveler and stay safe—I care about you! ❤️

  1. Welcome my friends and fellow Country Collectors! What a day in Kamakura! From the beach vibes to the bamboo forest to that fiery Mt. Fuji sunset, this trip had it all. Honestly, I didn’t expect Tokyo’s coastline to surprise me like this — but Kamakura proved me wrong in the best way. And that food on Komachi street was AMAZING! 

    What was your favorite part? leave me alone comment down below and let me know. I love to hear from you!

  2. Well, Japan sure seems to be agreeing with you! The scenes of Mt Fuji were stunning. The beaches and waters are beautiful but, you had me at the chocolate dessert & the flan. Yum!
    Enlightenment for your tastebuds? Good one!
    Another amazing video. Thanks for taking us along.
    I would definitely like to spend time around that area. I'd be in a food coma for most of the days…

  3. Great video, thank you you have a very good you tube voice, the singing, the first bar was great the last bar, the laugh was awesome of someone in peace with themselves I am going in April, hope the water is not too cold 🥶I think 18C

  4. What a way to start the video. “Surfin Safari” 🤣🤣 the beach is always a great place to be… my happy place! For the chill… not for the Tsnamis for sure!!! The ocean can be very scary!! Beautiful temples!! What a view!! Big Buddha!!! He’s very old! Live the shrimp credibles… shrimp the best 😅. A burger with seaweed??? You sure love to eat!! Sweet piglets! Busy streets… what a dessert!!! Haven’t had a candy apple in YEARS…. Yum Flan… one of my favorite desserts… fantastic?? Another great adventure!! XO ❤

  5. Dude!!! This has got me excited. I am trying to make time in Tokyo to get down to Kamakura for a day trip. It's wild what you went through during that tsunami period. Can't wait to explore all the temples and shrines of Japan.

  6. Wow you’re really enjoying / sharing Kamakura places😆 Thank you for sharing the local places!!

  7. Hello Adam. Great video of Kamakura. I love the baby pigs, and the street food looks amazingly delicious. The sunrise looking at Mt Fuji was spectacular. Thank you for sharing.

  8. 日本人ですが貴方の動画を見てると普通の日常が外国人から見た日本を楽しく見れます。編集も上手で最高です
