Kamakura

Got off at Hase station. Almost two hours since I left home.

Enoden Hase station

The Great Buddha (national treasure)

I've seen it many times on different medias but still it's bigger than I imagined.

Incense burner

You can go inside the Buddha. Entrance fee 20 yen lol.

The back side

Going in.
I'm glad it was not 200 yen.


Hase-dera (Hase temple)


卍 pond.



Kannon-do

One of the largest wooden Kannon is placed inside this building but no photo is permitted. It's pretty impressive (9m tall) and beautiful.

Yuigahama beach

Kamakura Music Box Museum

Some music box pictures from the last trip to Kamakura.





These guys look familiar...


Though it's a tiny museum, it's definitely worth a visit.

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.
