北鎌倉エリア（Kita-Kamakura Area）

The cherry blossoms in front of the temple’s main gate create a stunning scene.
Blooming times vary each year, but the sight is at its most beautiful when the flowers are in full bloom.

Engaku-ji Temple, ranked second among the Five Great Zen Temples of Kamakura, is also known for its beautiful cherry blossoms.
鎌倉駅東口エリア（Kamakura Station East Exit Area）
【Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine】
The cherry blossoms at Genji Pond and along Dankazura are essential highlights of Kamakura.
No visit to the city is complete without seeing these iconic spots.
Dankazura is especially beautiful in the evening.

We highly recommend experiencing it for yourself at least once.

【The street in front of Hokke-dō Hall】
Cherry blossoms bloom along the road leading from Tsurugaoka Hachimangū Shrine to Hokke-dō Hall.
To be honest, I secretly think this might be the most beautiful spot in Kamakura.

Walking along Komachi Ōji Stree.

The cherry blossoms can be enjoyed until late April.
【Ankokuron-ji Temple and its back area】
The famous Myōhō-zakura, officially called Ichihara Tora-no-o, features a unique appearance with a double-layered blossom and a single pistil protruding from the center. You can also see weeping cherry trees and Somei Yoshino near the main gate and beside the main hall.
If you follow the path behind Ankokuron-ji, you’ll find the well of Renshōnin’s Inkstone Water (Renshōnin Gokenmi-sui no Ido) and the Keshōkutsu cave, where beautiful cherry blossoms can also be found.

There aren’t many cherry trees, but the cherry blossoms near the main gate are a spectacular sight. The cherry blossoms near the main hall are also recommended.
深沢エリア（Fukazawa Area）
【Kamakura-yama】
The cherry blossoms at Kamakurayama have been famous for a long time. The trees may be a bit older now, but walking or driving under the cherry-lined streets is truly wonderful. They are beautiful even on rainy days.
【Kuzuharagaoka Shrine & Genjiyama】
The cherry blossoms at Kuzuharagaoka Shrine, dedicated to Hino Toshimoto, and at Genjiyama, where there is a statue of Minamoto no Yoritomo, are also highlights.
Along the path from the back of Genjiyama leading to Jufuku-ji Temple, you’ll find the graves of Eishō-ji Temple, where cherry blossoms can be seen as well.
長谷エリア（Hase Area）
【Gokuraku-ji Temple】
The cherry trees along the approach after entering the main gate are truly impressive. There is also a tree known as the KiriGaya-zakura (also called Mikurumagaeshi), which produces both single and double blossoms on the same branch.

Taking photos of the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms with the Great Buddha in the background might be the ultimate luxury.
