Walk down Wakamiya Oji toward the sea and the shape of Kamakura starts to reveal itself. This quiz is built around the samurai capital that Minamoto no Yoritomo established: Tsurugaoka Hachimangu at the head of his great avenue, the Great Buddha sitting in the open air, the Zen temples clustered around Kita-Kamakura, and the contrast between hilltop Hasedera overlooking the shore and Hokokuji tucked deep in its bamboo valley. The Enoden line stitches the coastal neighborhoods together, and present-day arrangements, from the park-and-ride scheme to Blue Flag beach certification, appear in the questions as well. Reading landscape and history together is the real skill being tested; the opening questions will show you how that feels.
