We went to Kamakura.<\/p>\n

Enoshima Railway (commonly called “Enoden”) runs slowly, but the train is very tight against the adjacent private homes and nearly spaces against them.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1930\"<\/p>\n

These are “Nio” statues (guardian gods of Deva) at the gate.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1846\"<\/p>\n

When you enter the\u00a0garden through the gate, you’ll see the Daibutsu (the great statue of Buddha). Without roof or walls, the statue is exposed to the elements .<\/p>\n

Then, we went to Hasedera Temple.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1869\"<\/p>\n

There are a great number of statues of Jizo (the Buddhist guardian deity of children).<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1884\"<\/p>\n

I saw these in the garden. How cute they were! These were\u00a0also statues of Jizo. There were\u00a0several kinds of Jizo grouped together.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1877\"<\/p>\n

Here you can see Yuigahama Beach from the temple’s garden.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1898\"<\/p>\n

This is Yuigahama. Though it was November, there were surfers on the sea. The mountains seen in the distance look like a Hiroshige Ukiyoe print. (Hiroshge was a famous Edo era ukiyoe artist.)<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1914\"<\/p>\n

Next, we went \u00a0to Tsurugaokahachimanngu (Tsurugaoka Shrine is dedicated to the god of war).<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1957\"<\/p>\n

This shrine is deeply connected with Minamoto no Yoritomo. (I wondered whether this statue was Yoritomo himself. I wasn’t sure.)<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1960\"<\/p>\n

Finally, this is Zeniaraibenten Shrine. Here, worshippers wash their money and present it the god of fortune in hopes that it will multiply.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1968\"<\/p>\n

Since this was a one-day trip from Tokyo, we really went slowly and took our time.<\/p>\n

Kamakura was a nice place!<\/p>\n
