Despite that I was wrapped up with my own life with my Phd ,
Japanese class and the late night work schedule these days….i decided to take a
trip to Kamakura with my colleague today!
Half awake in the early Sunday morning around 8am…with the
bag hanging off my shoulder and the map in my hand in the station and streams of people swept past by me….you know the
usual ! The train station in Japan !
Why do I write so much about trains? Why? Because it is my
Blog and I will decide what I should write !
Reached kamakura at 10.14am and I wanted to stroll down the
region with a bicycle but since the weather was not so good and likely showers
was expected – we decided to explore the region on Foot!
A stroll down the street soon after we alighted kamakura station!
We first visited a Shinto shrine ! Tsurugaoka Hachiman
Shrine….The campus around the shrine!
Second we visited the great Buddha !Kamakura is famous for Great Buddha.
The highlight of the day !Seven and a half centuries ago…it was built and constructed !
The cavity inside the
Buddha…its dark inside! Yes its amazing to read how this sculpture was
constructed ! Read on!
Third hasedara temple !
Third we visited hasedara temple! The hasedara temple has a
4th place among the 33 holy places in the kanto region.
There is a lot of history which is not listed in Wikipedia…example
while strolling down the region one can stop to smell the roses and cherry ! hehehe…is
it listed in Wikipedia..no ..it is not!
Strolling down kamkura you find the beach ! Hit the first beach of the Year!
Nothing feels like
this..
Yuigahama beach is about 5 minutes from hasedara temple-hase
station
A breath-taking view ….A little adventure with a goal of
getting lost . Oh yeah…
Walking along the beach with a sea breeze to drown the
sorrow ..Yes--Tomorrow is another Monday..is the sorrow that I was drowning on
the beach!
My shoes splashed and my pants got slightly wet ….and I felt
it was safe to run as i felt that the beach was slightly polluted !
After fulfilling the Mis-adventure and then after drowning
the sorrow on the Beach we came back fulfilled and iam sure even you are
waiting for the next one!
