Atago Jinja - Secret Shrine in Tokyo ᴴᴰ ● 愛宕神社 虎ノ門 東京
► I'm labeling Atago JInja Shrine a secret shrine, because although I enjoy finding new places of interest in general, especially gardens, shrines & temples, this one has successfully been hiding from me for about 10 years, since my first visit to Tokyo.
So that made it an even bigger pleasure, discovering it today, in the Toranomon area in Tokyo. Hiding on a small hilltop, tucked in between high rise office buildings and apartment mansions. A small oasis of green, with a small pond with kois,. The shrine area is very compact, but its everything you'd expect - and more - from a city-shrine in Tokyo. - Enjoy!
Hachimangu Shrine - Kamakura, Japan ᴴᴰ ● 鶴岡八幡宮 鎌倉
► After a much needed break away from YouTube, I'm back with lots of new videos from all around Japan; Tokyo, Kamakura, Yamaguchi, Fukuoka and Okinawa.
In my first video of 2018, I'm gonna show you the famous Hachimangu Shrine, the most important shrine in Kamakura, as well as the beautiful shrine garden. The shrine was founded in 1063, and has 5.8 million visitors annually.
The city of Kamakura in Kanagawa prefecture, is rather small by todays standards, but it actually used to be the capital of Japan during the Kamakura period.
I hope you'll enjoy this little tour - thanks for watching! :-)

Visiting the Great Buddha in Kamakura - Japan Vlog Day 7
This is the seventh vlog of our trip Visiting Tokyo Japan in September 2015 and features Engakuji Temple, the Great Daibutsu and the beaches of Kamakura .
Kamakura (鎌倉) is a coastal town an hour south of Tokyo. It was once the political centre of Japan. Today the small town of Kamakura is a very popular tourist destination. Also know as the Kyoto of the East, it offers numerous temples, shrines and monuments to its visitors. In order to get to Kamakura head to Tokyo station and board the JR Yokosuka Line. A one-way trip costs 920 yen (currently 5£). Along the way, the train will stop at Shinagawa station, Yokohama Station and Kita-Kamakura. Alight the train at Kita-Kamakura and then head south to Kamakura, popping into as many temples as you like on the way.
ENGAKUJI TEMPLE
Engakuji is the second largest Zen Temple Complex in Kamakura and a leading Zen temple in Eastern Japan. The Temple was built to honour the fallen Japanese and Mongolian soldiers of the Mongolian invasion. Engakuji was built into the sloping hills of Kita-Kamakura’s surrounding forest. Within the Temple complex lies Shariden Hall, where a tooth of Buddha is said to have been enshrined. Admission to the Engakuji Temple will set you back 300 yen.
MEIGETSUIN TEMPLE
Meigetsuin Temple (明月院) is also known as Ajisaidera, the Hydrangea Temple. Hydrangeas, especially the Hime Ajisai variety, bloom in abundance in the Temple’s surrounding grounds. The temple was originally built by a son to commemorate his belated father. It later became part of the larger Temple Complex called Zenkoji. Within the Temple grounds lies its main Hall. A beautifully designed circular window frames the scenery of the inner garden that lies behind. Known for its irises, the inner garden is only open to visitors in June and late November. Admission to the Meigetsuin temple costs 300 yen.
KENCHOJI TEMPLE
Kenchoji is the most elaborate of Kamakura’s five great Zen temples. It is also the oldest. Kenchoji is a large Temple complex that stretches far into the forested hills of Kamakura and consists of a large number of temples and sub-temples. The Kenchoji Temple Bell Bonsho has been designated a national treasure in its own right. Behind the Butsuden Hall lies the largest wooden Temple building in eastern Japan. It houses a statue of Kannon and features a beautifully painted ceiling.
THE KAMAKURA DAIBUTSU
The Daibutsu, Great Buddha of Kamakura sits on the grounds of the Kotokuin Temple. Kamakura is probably most famous for this large bronze Statue. At a height of 13.35 meters, the Kamakura Daibutsu is Japan’s second tallest bronze Buddha, surpassed only by the Daibutsu of Nara. Whilst the temple and its grounds were destroyed multiple times by Typhoons and Tidal Waves, the Daibutsu, built in 1252, has survived until today. If you arrive before 5pm, you can enter this great statue to view the inside of the Great Daibutsu.
The video was filmed in September 2015

Kamakura, Japan, 鎌倉市 - Canon 80D - Virtual Trip
Kamakura is a city located in the Kanagawa prefecture, by the sea, just one hour by train from Tokyo to Japan. This city with a strong historical heritage is best known for its daibutsu, the huge bronze Buddha that can be seen in many guides. During our visit to Japan in April-May, it was in Kamakura that we saw the most people. This city is very popular for many Tokyoites who can come and enjoy, for a weekend, this nearby seaside resort.
Kamakura also has its Gozan, or 5 mountain temples, like many other cities in Japan. These Buddhist temples are Kenchô-ji, Engaku-ji, Jufuku-ji, Jôchi-ji and Jômyô-ji and can constitute in themselves an idea of a route in the city. The many temples of Kamakura are randomly established in the territory, and it seems difficult if not impossible to see them all in one or two days. Those located near Kita-Kamakura are huge, much larger than we imagine seeing a simple map. As the majority of them are grouped together it is better to choose a well-defined area, or a few temples per zone, in order to make the most of the on-site stay.
Arriving from Tokyo in the morning, and leaving in the evening, you will have time to see 4 to 6 large temples maximum. In the high season, the crowd can make you lose several hours during the day and during the Golden week in particular, the number of visitors / tourists may make you want to flee: the main roads look like giant queues and one advance to the dropper.
