🔱隠れた名所一条恵観山荘🔱
鎌倉は武士の歴史で有名ですが、一条恵観山荘は京都の帝政時代の面影を垣間見ることができる貴重な場所です。
🦋紫陽花の季節が特別な理由
他でよく見かける「青い壁」のような紫陽花とは異なり、ここではまるで芸術作品のように丁寧に植えられた紫陽花が咲き誇っています。
バスを降りて目の前の「鎌倉宮」。ここは幸せを招くと言われている神社です。
そして、歩いて約10分の「瑞泉寺」へ向かいます。ハッとするほど😳🍃緑に包まれた苔の長い階段を登り、天然のマイナスイオンを肌で感じられる山間の高い場所にあります。花のお寺とも呼ばれさまざまな花々が楽しめます🌺🪷
その後、源頼朝が建てた寺院の跡の「永福寺跡」は歩いて直ぐ。そこを見学したあとは、ランチタイム🍙🥯😋‼️お弁当を持って来てくださいね。
そして、メインの「一条恵観山荘」。
国指定重要文化財で一般公開するようになりました。🐧🐦鳥のさえずり、木々の葉のささやき🍃🌿滑川のせせらぎ…耳を澄まして鎌倉の原風景を「音」♪で感じることができる癒しの空間です。
そして、報国寺は、竹林でインスタ映えする人気のある場所。2000本もの竹が生い茂り、雨の日の滴る雨水、風に揺れる竹のきしむ音などまったりとしてください。

🧐A member asked me,
“Why doesn't Kamakura have a castle?"
That's a good point🫪‼️
🏯 A castle is a fortified residence built with walls and other structures to protect a military base from outside invaders.
Odawara Castle was built around 1500 during the Sengoku period, and the Kamakura period was even earlier, around 1200.
Therefore, the land of Kamakura itself served the role of a castle.
It's surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the nearby sea is shallow, making it impossible for ships to reach.
🤩Look at this place‼️
🪻After seeing the hydrangeas,
you can see the land of mountain castle from hill of this place‼️

＊〜Kamakura is known as a famous spot for hydrangeas.
They begin blooming in early June, with the best time to see them being from mid- to late June〜＊

💁🏻‍♀️ This package includes a visit to Kencho-ji Temple and a hike along the Kamakura Alps hiking trail🪻⛰️
