A Day-Trip From Tokyo Part 1: Kamakura - City of Nature, History and Tradition (S05E13)

Kamakura, a historic city in Japan, attracts visitors with its stunning temples and shrines. Nestled between hills on three sides and bordered by the sea, it offers a peaceful retreat amidst a beautiful natural landscape. The mild climate contributes to the excellent produce cultivated by local farmers, which can be found at the Kamakura Farmers' Market, established nearly 90 years ago. In this episode of Journeys in Japan, chef David Wells explores the market, interacts with farmers, and chats with chefs who showcase the region’s exceptional ingredients. He discovers that Kamakura is not just a tourist destination, but a community that enjoys a vibrant way of life.
