If you are coming from the Tokyo/Yokohama area, take the Yokosuka train line and go toward the city of Yokosuka, which is near the end of the line. After passing Yokohama Station (the train will stop six times), the last stop being Kamakura Station. Be careful not to get off at Kita Kamakura Station, which is the station before Kamakura. If you go one station too far, you will be at Zushi Station. Kamakura Station is about 25 minutes from Yokohama Station.

If you are coming from Yokosuka, Kamakura Station is the next station after Zushi Station (about 20 minutes from Yokosuka Station).

If you are coming from another part of Japan, please transfer to the Yokosuka Line at Yokohama or Ofuna Station. Kamakura Station is just two stations from Ofuna Station.

After arriving in at Kamakura Station, please use the west exit (it is the smaller of the 2 sides). With the station behind you, turn left and walk down a narrow brick-shopping street called, Onari-dori all the way to the end (about 5 minutes). You will see a fruit and vegetable shop on your right. Turn right onto a bigger street called Yuigahama Street and walk down on the first traffic signal. The sign on the signal will read "Rokujizo." Turn left here crossing the street and the church is located in the building near the corner.

From Kamakura Station, if you use a taxi : Ask the drivers to go to the "Ro Ku Jizou" that takes only 5 minutes from the station though. If you find the Ro ku Jizou. Please stand as if Ro ku Jizou (six dolls) are at your right side. You can see a trafic light. The six dolls are your right side.
Then across the street at the trafic light first. Then, you need to turn left. So you have to across the trafic light again. Then, in front of you, you will see that two small streests you can go. From there, you can find our church that is located at the corner of two small streets.

See our map above.Since our church does not own private parking space, please use public parking nearby (e.g. the City Hall or coin parkings, etc. In the next of our church building, there is a coin parking but it is small. Or if you come before 10 am, mostlikely a coin packing near Rokujizo is available.) We highly encourage you to take the public transportation if possible.

If you get lost, please call us before 10:30 am. The church phone number is (0467) 23-7336. We look forward to meeting you. Our service starts at 10:30am. God bless you!
