Kamakura is a main area for shrines and temples in Japan with a very big statue of Amida Buddha which is the most famous of the whole area.

Kamakura has a beach which, in combination with the temples and the proximity to Tokyo, makes it a popular tourist destination. The city is well-provided with restaurants and other tourist-oriented amenities.

Kamakura is home to a microbrewery, the beer is available locally, bottled, and the range includes a pale ale, a pilsner style lager, and a stout. Information on these beers (in Japanese) can be found here http://www.kamakura-beer.co.jp/ Kamakura is also noted for its "senbei", which are crisp rice cakes, grilled and sold fresh along the main shopping street. These are very popular with tourists, especially Japanese tourists.

Kamakura is also the terminal for the Enoshima Electric Railway, locally known as "Eno-den". This traditional narrow gauge railway runs to Fujisawa, to the west, part of the route takes it parallel to the seashore.
