As the Tokyo train nears Kita-Kamakura Station, urban sprawl gradually gives way to gentle, forested hills which provide the backdrop for some of Kamakura's greatest Zen temples. Chief among these are Kencho-ji and the wonderfully atmospheric Engaku-ji . It takes over an hour to cover the prime sights, walking south along the main road, the Kamakura-kaido, to the edge of central Kamakura. With more time, follow the Daibutsu Hiking Course up into the western hills to wash your yen at an alluring temple dedicated to Zeniarai Benten .
