Kamakura Cherry Blossom Season: 2 Beautiful Spots to Enjoy Sakura 🌸
#cherryblossom25
Kamakura’s charm extends beyond the famous train station photo ops at Kamakura High School. During spring, this small city is adorned with soft pink and white cherry blossoms, creating a gentle and beautiful atmosphere. Here are two recommended spots for cherry blossom viewing in Kamakura:
1. Goryo Shrine (御霊神社)
Unique Charm: One of the signature cherry blossom spots in Kamakura, where the train from the Enoden Line passes right in front of the torii gate. The combination of the passing train and blooming sakura creates a picturesque scene, like something out of an anime!
How to Get There: A 5-minute walk from Enoden Hase Station.
Address: 4-9 Sakanoshita, Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture.
2. Amanawa Shrine (甘縄神明宮)
Tranquil Vibe: This ancient shrine offers a peaceful atmosphere with cherry blossoms blooming in front of the shrine building. It’s less crowded, perfect for quietly soaking in the beauty of spring.
How to Get There: A 6-minute walk from Enoden Hase Station.
Address: 1-12-1 Hase, Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture.
Cherry blossoms hold significant meaning in Japan, and every spring, stores launch special sakura-themed products. I took a stroll around Loft and picked up some lovely sakura stickers — the soft pink design perfectly captures the spring mood. 🌸
