Engaku-ji Temple: Kamakura Zen Vibes, Steep Hikes & Tea Breaks

Hit the main gate by 8:30 AM before Tokyo day-trippers clog the paths. The steep trek to the Great Bell is a solid workout, but the thick cedar canopy keeps the humidity down. Skip the overpriced $500 private car tours; the train drops you off right nearby. Wear actual sneakers for the uneven stone stairs. Budget 90 minutes here, and definitely grab matcha at the teahouse halfway up the hill. It’s quiet, mossy, and totally worth it.
