Further down the coast, the Miura Peninsula on the western side of the prefecture is packed with beaches, temples, quaint restaurants, and cafes. Of the many places, because of it's close proximity to the metropolis, Kamakura is a highly popular destination with an array of shrine and temples throughout the small city including the iconic huge Buddah statue sitting at Kotokuin temple. During the rainy season around June, many visit the area to see hydrangea in full bloom.
