    A traditional Buddhist vegetarian restaurant located close to the Kencho-ji Temple, one of the “Kamakura Gozan” (Five Mountain Temples of Kamakura). Kenchin-jiru, a soup made by stewing burdock and other vegetables, was originally called “Kencho-jiru” because it was invented at the Kencho-ji Temple. Over the years, the pronunciation became corrupted until it achieved its present name. In addition to Kencho-jiru, diners can enjoy other soups with soba and udon noodles as well as the unique flavors of traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine made only with vegetables.

    A small yet historic Japanese confection shop located along the Kamakura Kaido a one-minute walk from Kita-Kamakura Station.

Made without the use of artificial preservatives or other additives, these yokan have an intermediate texture between soft and hard yokan jellies and are characterized by their elegant flavor. They are also known to sell out as early as before noon. Shokado also sells unique, limited time items from October to May, such as the kuri-iri kojika (steamed castella cake with sweet adzuki beans) and kiku monaka (chrysanthemum wafer cake with sweet bean jam).

Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
