About this spot

Extending about 360 meters from just outside the east exit of Kamakura Station toward Tsurugaoka Hachimangu (鶴岡八幡宮), this is the classic Kamakura tourism street. In addition to eat-as-you-walk gourmet foods like rice crackers, dumplings, and soft serve ice cream, stores in summer display floatation rings and beach sandals, making it convenient for stocking up before swimming. The early morning hours have relatively fewer visitors, making it easier to walk with children. Satisfy your appetite while starting your Kamakura day heading toward the sea.

Tips

1 minute walk from the east exit of Kamakura Station. Afternoons in summer get crowded, so shopping and eating should be done in the morning. Storing bulky souvenirs in station coin lockers lets you travel light to the beach.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Early 10s time after store opening is easy to walk and recommended.
