Kamakura

Made a short trip to Kamakura, the old capital of samurai warriors.

Yokohama station
Transit at Yokohama station. More than an hour have passed already since I left home.
Narita Express
Narita Express connects Narita Aiport and major stations. It looks pretty cool.

Yokosuka line
This is the train I took. Another 30 minutes ride to Kita Kamakura station.

Kita Kamakura station
It's so tiny that it doesn't even have a wicket gate.
Engakuji (1282~)








Myōkōhi (myōkō pond)
The pond is full of of algae but it's been there since at least 1335.

Tea house




Ō gane (big bell)
It is a national treasure. Well, nothing special just old as usual.

Tōkeiji (1285~)


Senjafuda (stickers)


Sazare-ishi
It looks like a construction slag but a natural rock. The same type of rock appears in the Japanese national anthem.

Enoden bus stop

Kenchoji (1253~)


Sitting on a bench under this gate was the best part of this trip. Breeze was so nice.







Triforce



Is this a tunnel? It looks like pointless.

Tsuruoka Hachimangu (1063~)
This shrine is supposed to be one of the most popular ones in Japan. Compared with Ise and Atsuta, it looks so cheap. I hate so many guard men are around.


Kamakura Station
I stayed there for only three hours and visited three temples and one shrine. Kamakura has too many places to see in a day or two. I have to go back to see the giant Buddha (when it's not too hot).

I lost 1.5kg during this trip.
