Is Kamakura (day trip) worth it for photographers?
Worth itFor photos
For beauty & photography, Kamakura (day trip) delivers.
An easy, varied day: the bronze Great Buddha, a hillside of temples, a retro tram to the beach and bamboo groves — a relaxed mix of culture and coast close to the city. The catch: the famous spots (Hase-dera, the Buddha, Komachi-dori) get very busy on weekends and the temples are spread out, so it's a lot of walking.
