Konnichiwa, everyone!

Looking for a place to go to outside of Tokyo with a totally different vibe? Kamakura is the place to go! Only an hour and a half by train, Kamakura is an amazing place to go to to learn more about the history of Japan, relax by the beach, enjoy street food, and take a ton of beautiful photos! 10/10 highly recommend!

  1. Joyous Christmas to you! Happy to see a new video. Many, many years ago, my father served in the US Army, stationed with the 500th Military Intelligence Brigade at Camp Zama. I have an old photo of him standing with the the Great Buddha of Kamakura. I recognized it immediately. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Merry Christmas Hana Chan❤ Thank you for this. All too familiar places I miss so much.
    良いお年をお迎えください. Have an epic, epic holiday.

  3. What a lovely place to visit, the gardens were especially beautiful. All of the food looked delicious but the biggest treat had to be that sunset over Mt Fuji. Thank you for the upload Hana, great video.

  4. Really informative video! Would you say all of these locations can be visited in the same day? Would you recommend walking around to get to the areas or is the bus/train a must?

  5. What time in the Fall did you record the scenes? I've been to Japan in October/November and didn't see that much color on the trees, I was kind of disappointed at the time.

  6. Thanks! I’m not a big shrine fan but the first two on your list caught my eye. I think I will take my husband there because he likes and wants to visit shines
