Especially in the Kitakamakura area, you can find many stylish stores with a relaxed atmosphere. Kamakura is famous for Kamakura Gozan, the five great Rinzai temples of Kamakura, and Kenchoji Temple, the first of the five, is the originator of Kenchin-jiru, a type of Japanese soup, and sells it at Kamakura Gozan Honten (鎌倉五山 本店). The soup is said to have originated from Kenchoji Temple's vegetarian cuisine, and the name Kenchin-jiru was derived from Kencho-jiru, which was named after the temple. Try the historical Kenchin Udon while learning about the history of Kenchoji Temple. [Video] 1:48 - Kamakura Gozan Honten, the birthplace of Kenchin-jiru Kissa Minka is a popular café in an old private house in Kitakamakura.

[Video] 2:20 - Kissa Minka, an old-fashioned café with a soothing retro atmosphere Another place to try in Kamakura is Fujiya on Komachi-dori (Komachi Street). Fujiya restaurants are rare and not something you come across often. The sweets are perfectly balanced, and they also have an authentic Western-style menu. [Video] 4:43 - Fujiya, a Restaurant With Sweets and Proper Meals Nagon Shiruko (納言志るこ店), tucked away in an alley, is a long-established sweets shop known for its oshiruko (sweet red-bean soup). The interior of the shop, which is more like an old-fashioned store from Showa-period Japan than a café, is a strangely relaxing place. When the autumn leaves are in season, your body can get cold, so many people enjoy taking a breather with some warm oshiruko. [Video] 5:22 - Nagon Shiruko, a long-established sweet shop in Kamakura Summary of Recommended Sightseeing Spots for Viewing the Autumn Leaves in Kamakura Kamakura, the ancient capital of Japan, is a fascinating place to visit in any season, but it's especially amazing during autumn.
