Kamakura, Japan

March 2012

On our third day in Japan we independently explored the village of Kamakura, about a one hour train ride south of Tokyo. We visited Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, one of Japan's most famous Shinto shrines, the Kotokuin Temple and its Great Buddha (Daibutsu, the second largest Buddha in Japan), and the Hase-dera Temple and its beautiful gardens.
