The many shrines and temples set amid the wooded hills bring to mind a poetic, oriental image of Japan. At Kamakura station’s east exit, there is a red Torii (gate) which is the side entrance to Kamakura’s symbolic shopping street. Many visitors come from all over to visit the many restaurants and souvenir gift shops here. The beach area of Kamakura is very close which is very popular for surfing and fireworks festivals in the summer.
