Kamakura differs greatly from the capital, Heijokyo, and [heiankei] from old, and is a city in Japan for the first time. Because the south faces the sea, and the east, the north, and the west are rich the fortress of nature that it is enclosed by the mountain, the structure such as ramparts is only one in Japan that carries out a function as a garrison city even in case of not being. It is thought that this corresponds to 3 and 4 of the cultural heritage standards of UNESCO.
Moreover, the small valley that is called [yato]” or “Guy “” is developed, and the city of an original unparalleled feature is produced in Kamakura. “Flat place” was made in the bottom of a ravine, and a big and small buddhist temple was built there. Moreover, an original grave yard or sage place that was dug up the tunnel in “[Kikishi]” of a sheer cliff, and was called, “Tower” was made. It is thought that the feature of these towns corresponds to five of the cultural heritage standards.
