Last week I went to Kamakura. Kamakura is a city close to the sea about an hour away from Tokyo. It's famous for its many shrines and temples, and a big Buddha statue, the Kamakura Daibutsu. Kamakura is usually flooded with tourists, because it's just beautiful and perfect for day trips from Tokyo. It's definitely one of my favorite places in Japan.
When I went last week the weather was just perfect, sunny but not too hot.
Here are some photos I took while walking around the town!
This is Tsurugaoka Hachimangû, a famous Shintô Shrine right in the center of the city.
Komachidoori is a long street with many souvenir shops and restaurants. There's a Ghibli Store there as well.
Sweet Potato Icecream (the purple one). I forgot to take a picture of the real thing because it tasted so good that I didn't even think about my camera. Maybe next time. ;)
There's still so much more to see in Kamakura. I'll definitely go again!
