Of the many cultures in the world, one of the most preserved is found in Japan . Centuries of development and progress has barely touched the Japanese heritage and this can be found alive in cities like Kamakura.
Like many former seats of government, Kamakura has, in its own borders, a host of temples, shrines and other establishments that mark that rich Japanese culture and religious tradition.
The Kamakura bakufu, the leading political power in 1192, was founded only a year after the Zen sect was established. The era came with the appointment of Minamoto Yurimoto as the shogun who chose his seat of government in this city south of Tokyo . The era did not last long - only little over a century - but it was enough to make Kamakura a haven for tourists in search of places to be in Japan.
