Unique Japanese Street Food tour in Kamakura (鎌倉) + Travel Guide | Tokyo Day Trip Video Transcript:
It is time for another day trip. Today we have left Tokyo behind and come to Kamakura (鎌倉). Which is a coastal town about 1 hour south of Tokyo. We hoped on the Shonan-Shinjuku line (湘南新宿ライン) and paid 920 Yen to get here. Also this place is known as the Kyoto of the East because you have a whole bunch of temples to visit. So our plan today is to temple hop and also enjoy lots of street food.
We are currently walking down Komachi Street and this is the place to enjoy street food. However it is still a little bit early in the day. It is just past 10 am and a lot of the shops are just opening up and setting up there food stalls.
So our plan of action is to go visit the temple (Hasedera Temple - 長谷寺) at the end of this street and then we'll come back with an even bigger appetite and enjoy some street food here in Kamakura (鎌倉).
We didn't waste a single minute after visiting the temple. We just hustled back to where we were earlier. The street that is just lined with street food stands.
So I found something that I've been wanting to try. Since we arrived in Japan this is a mochi ball stuffed with custard (いちご大福). With a strawberry on top.
Sam was certainly a bit more adventurous with his choice. Yeah, when I say this little omelette with mini fish (whitebait - 釜揚げ)しらす) I'm like I've got to try this. This is one of the most visually interesting pieces of Japanese street food I've ever seen. Yeah, and this was 250 Yen.
It is ice cream time. It is ice cream time. I've been waiting to try some unique flavors. Yes. This is about as unique as it gets. Black sesame with soy milk (黒ゴマのアイスクリーム). Yes. And they've even put sesame sprinkles all over it. Yes. This place specializes in all things sesame.
We've been trying to figure out what kind of souvenirs we're going to get from Japan. And we haven't bought anything. Chopsticks. Wooden spoons.
We had our food and we are now on our way to go see the Great Buddha (鎌倉大仏 - Kamakura Daibutsu). So basically we walked back to the train station. Kamakura station and we got on the Enoshima line and it was three stops over to Hasey.
Our last temple. We are currently visiting Hasedera Temple (長谷寺). And we paid 300 Yen per person. Also because it is June and hydrangeas are in bloom they gave us this special ticket. It is a numbered ticket. So basically I guess you line up and you can walk along the path and enjoy the beautiful flowers in bloom.
It has been a long day. Well well we are heading home. It was a long day. Mostly because of the heat but we saw some really cool temples. We ate some delicious street food. And yeah now we are going back to Tokyo. But if you are looking for a fun day trip Kamakura (鎌倉) is certainly worth it.

Tsurugaoka-hachimangu Shrine is the center of Kamakura. Minamoto-no-Yoritomo, the first Shogun of the Kamakura Government, established this shrine to worship their guardian god. Its Honmiya (Main Shrine) is really majestic, but other than that there are lots of things to see in the precincts of the Shrine, such as the Maiden ( House for dancing), the Kamakura National Treasure House, the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Art, Genpei-Pond, etc.
Those who come to Kamakura never fail to visit this and pray for various good things even if they are not a believer in Shintoism.
最初は現在の位置ではなかったそうですが、鎌倉幕府初代制夷大将軍源頼朝がこの地に構えた鶴岡八幡宮は実に立派な建物です。境内には本宮以外にも舞殿、宝物殿、国宝館、神奈川県立近代美術館、源平池などみどころが沢山あります。鎌倉にきたひとは、神を信じようが信じまいが、必ず訪れるところです。

鶴岡八幡宮,蓮華咲く源氏池に浮ぶ旗上弁財天社,鎌倉江ノ島観光 2015 Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, Hata-age Benzaiten Shrine, Kamakura JAPAN
鎌倉や江ノ島周辺には開運(出世,昇格昇進),縁結び,子授け,安産,子育て,母子擁護,学問成就にご利益がある寺院や神社がたくさんあります。これらのパワースポットを鎌倉に所在するジパングがご案内。
今回は鶴岡八幡宮境内社旗上弁財天社をご紹介します。
鶴岡八幡宮（つるがおかはちまんぐう）旗上弁財天社（はたあげべんざいてんしゃ）
〈所在地〉神奈川県鎌倉市雪ノ下2丁目1番31号
〈由緒・ご利益〉縁結び、子授け、安産、必勝祈願、大願成就
〈ご祭神〉弁財天
〈パワースポット〉政子石(姫石)
〈アクセス〉JR横須賀線、江の島電鉄、鎌倉駅東口より徒歩12分
源頼朝公が旗揚げをして本格的な武家政権である鎌倉幕府を開き、流人から征夷大将軍へと大きく昇進できたご神徳により、弁財天は武運長久、大願成就の福神様として知られるようになりました。
旗上弁財天社が鎮座するのは、源氏池に浮ぶ三つの島のうち一番大きな島です。なぜ三つかと言うと、三（さん）が産（さん）に通じるように、という願がかけてあるからです。
旗上弁財天社の社殿を左へと回り込むと、知る人ぞ知るパワースポットがあります。源頼朝が妻である北条政子の安産を祈願したという政子石（姫石）です。仲良く並んだ二つの石を撫でると、良縁、夫婦円満、子授け(子宝)、安産にご利益があると言われています。
これらのことから、開店、事業拡張をはじめ、必勝祈願、家内安全、商売繁盛、病気平癒、縁結びなどのご利益が授かると信仰を集め、鎌倉江の島七福神の一社にもなっています。

Hata-age Benzaiten Shrine
People can see many a flag drawn a white flag with two black lines. This flag was the flag that the warriors of Minamotono Yoritomo’s army took into The Genpei battle in 1180, identifying them as being members of Yoritomo’s army. Yoritomo used this banner because his ancestor Minamotono Yoshiie had used it when he suppressed the 1051 rebellion in North-East Japan. The white banners are offered here to this day since Yoritomo offered a white banner here to pray for victory before the successful The Genpei battle of 1180.
Before the Meiji period (1868 to 1912) separation of Buddhism and Shinto, Benzaiten was considered both a Shinto kami and a Buddhist deity, identified with water and with prosperity as one of the seven gods of prosperity. Benzaiten shrines are as a result normally associated with water and are often built in ponds.

Nevertheless, lots of people were there to watch.
