Explore the serene pathway leading to a traditional Japanese gate at Kencho-Ji Temple in Kamakura.Food

Komachi-dōri

小町通り

Komachi, Kamakura · 鎌倉

A pedestrian lane of 250 shops running parallel to the shrine approach — croquettes, shirasu bowls, purple sweet potato ice cream and a lot of small crafts.

Why it’s worth it

Kamakura’s speciality is shirasu, tiny whitebait served raw or boiled over rice. Eat it here, at a counter, before you walk up to the shrine.
