北鎌倉へようこそ！
都会の喧騒を離れ、禅寺の静寂、歴史ある切通し、そして美しい日本庭園を巡りながら、心穏やかな時間を過ごしましょう。
1. 円覚寺
まずは、1282年に創建した鎌倉五山第二位の格付けを持つ円覚寺からスタートします。
• 見どころ: 立派な三門（山門）をくぐると空気が変わるのを感じるはずです。山を背にした広大な境内は、鎌倉の禅文化を象徴する場所です。国宝の洪鐘（おおがね）など、歴史の重みを感じてみてください。
2. 昼食
「流しそうめん」水が流れる、長く傾斜した竹の樋（とい）にそうめんを流します。流れてくる麺を箸ですくい上げ、醤油ベースのめんつゆにつけていただきます。
あるいは、手打ちそばと季節の天ぷらというのもおすすめです。
そして、何よりココは「けんちん汁」発祥の地でもあります。野菜がたっぷり入った温かい汁物もぜひ味わってみてください。
これからの散策に向けて活力をチャージするのにぴったりの食事です。
3. 長寿寺
午後は、足利尊氏の菩提寺である寺。
ここは知る人ぞ知る美しい日本庭園で有名です。瞑想体験: 建物の縁側に座り、手入れの行き届いた苔やカエデの木々を眺めながら瞑想を行います。ただ静かに呼吸を整え、風の音や木の葉が触れ合う音に耳を傾けることで、心の中の静寂を見つけてください☝️この時期の土日の限定公開です。
4. 亀ヶ谷切通し
鎌倉へ向かうため鎌倉七口の一つである亀ヶ谷切通しを通り抜けます。鎌倉は山と海に囲まれた天然の要塞です。この「切通し」は、険しい山を切り開いて作られた軍事・交通の要所です。岩肌が露出した道からは、当時の地形を活かした街づくりの知恵を垣間見ることができます。
5. 海蔵寺
ツアーの締めくくりは花の寺。境内にある「十六井戸」は、岩窟の中に掘られた不思議な古井戸で、今も水が湧き出ています。
季節ごとに萩、カイドウ、水仙などが咲き誇り、静寂の中に彩りを添えてくれます。隠れ家のような落ち着いた雰囲気の中で、一日の旅を振り返りましょう。📩To all participants
