First we got in to Kamakura and walked down a main shopping street where we tried some Kamakura-yaki (little green baked thing with anko inside), and a really interesting store with lots of little trinkets, toys, puzzles (chie no wa) and made our way to Tsuruhaoka Hachimangu temple.
I brought my Goshuinshuu to help document the temples I've visited and to get a little calligraphy collection going. And we stopped to grab some amazake.
Then we rode a train a couple of stations over to get to see the famous Daibutsu statue. And we were able to go inside a bit, and I got one more page in my goshuinshu
Then it was about time for all the temples to start closing, so we went back to the station in Kamakura and then took a train to Yokohama and made our way to Chinatown where we found a place to have some dimsum, shark-fin stew and various other delicious dishes.
