Just when you think Hasedera can’t top its massive Kannon statue, mossy gardens & rabbit-warren paths, you stumble into the lookout tucked beside the Kannon Museum. From here, Kamakura stretches out like a watercolor: tiled rooftops, bamboo swaying in the foreground & the coastline melting into the horizon. On a clear day, you’d swear you could see straight to your next bad decision on Enoshima Island. It’s not a huge viewing platform, more of a pause in the temple’s flow, but that’s the charm. The space forces you to stop, breathe, & take in the fact that this seaside town once housed samurai, & now it’s a mash-up of surfers, shrines & Starbucks. If you’re already in Hasedera (and you should be) don’t skip this stop. It’s a reminder that Kamakura isn’t just history underfoot, it’s also beauty at eye level.

Great view! The colorful hydrangea flowers were beautiful. This is a wonderful Kannon sacred site.

相模湾が見渡せる絶好のロケーションです。近くの売店でみたらし団子を買ってテーブル席で海を眺めながら食べると美味しいです。自動販売機も設置してあり近くにトイレ🚻はありますが階段の上り下りがあるのは足の不自由な方には優しくない作りです。食べ物を食べると時にはトンビに襲われる恐れがありますので注意が必要です。近くに食堂もありますのでゆっくり食べたい方は見晴台右手にある食堂へ行って食べると景色も良いので良いと思います。
