Kamakura Moss City Project
Kamakura as a city of moss
Environmentally sensitive mosses cannot grow in every place.
In Kamakura, there is an abundance of small valleys where moss likes to grow, and a history of shrines and temples where moss has been cultivated for many years.
It is a precious city where you can enjoy the rich mosses while being close to the city centre.
We are working to make Kamakura a 'city of moss'!
