Kamakura was the capital of Japan from 1192 to 1333. Although it is small it has had a considerable impact on the Japanese culture. Traditions are still alive here and respectively provided for tourists.
My favourite Japanese sweets: Dango (basically rice flour). One of the best in Japan are sold here in Kamakura.
A specialty for Kamakura: Shirasu (Whitebait).
Usually Japanese keep their natural hair colour, but sometimes you can find women (mostly of an respective age) with amazing hair dyeings.

One of the six classic Japanese marriage styles: Shinzenshiki (Shinto style ceremony)
