Kamakura
In the wagashi-making experience, you’ll make three seasonal sweets, each with a unique shape reflecting the time of year. Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through the process and share interesting details about the history of wagashi. You can enjoy the sweets on the spot or take them home as souvenirs. (If you’d like, you can also enjoy a cup of matcha for an additional 550 yen.)

Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)
The Great Buddha of Kamakura, located at Kotoku-in Temple, is an iconic 13.35-meter bronze statue of Buddha, weighing 121 tonnes. It has stood for over 750 years and is Kamakura’s only Buddhist national treasure. As Japan’s second tallest bronze Buddha, it’s a must-see.
