We conducted a survey of Kamakura on a sunny day in May that reminded us of summer.
Our survey sites were Kamakura Station, Taiga Drama Museum, Hase Station, and Inamuragasaki Park.
JR Kamakura Station
We gathered in front of JR Kamakura Station and first conducted a survey of the restrooms at the front of JR Kamakura Station.

The roundabout at the front of Kamakura Station had been improved with signboards and roofs compared to the previous survey.
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine
Next, we headed for the Taiga Drama Museum located in the precincts of the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. I was surprised at how fast the electric wheelchair was. The guardian dogs at the Nino Torii gate on the way to Wakamiya-oji Avenue were also wearing masks because of the Corona pandemic, which I thought was cute.
Taiga Drama Museum
We visited the Taiga Drama Museum. Costumes, props, and dioramas of the characters in the drama “Kamakura-dono no 13inin” were on display. Admission is 1,000 yen for adults, half price for the disabled upon presentation of a certificate, and one accompanying person is free.
After visiting the exhibits, we also conducted a restroom survey. The restrooms are located in a separate area (1st floor) from the general restrooms and are well equipped and clean. However, due to the limited depth, a wheelchair switching operation is required.
Enoden Kamakura Station
Return to Kamakura Station and take the Enoden rail service to Hase Station. There were many passengers waiting for the train on the platform of the Enoden Kamakura Station, and I could imagine that the train would be quite crowded. The station staff helped us board the train by installing a ramp from the platform to the entrance of the train. (Two carriages in each of the Enoden trains have wheelchair spaces available.)
Hase Station
The station building at Hase Station has been renovated and is now clean.
We took the Enoden again and headed for Inamuragasaki Station.
Inamuragasaki Park
Inamuragasaki Park was not suitable for wheelchair users due to the pebbles underneath.
Looking into the distance from Inamuragasaki Park, we could see Mt. Fuji faintly next to Enoshima Island. Unfortunately, it was not a good view at this time of the year.
These are the participants of this tour.
After visiting the Taiga Drama Museum, a group photo of the six participants was taken at Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine.
