Today we went off for a walking tour around Kamakura.
Kamakura is about an hour train ride from Tokyo and is famous for its many temples, shrines and general picturesque-ness. Julie and I joined a small group for our tour, just 2 other people plus our guide. We spent most of the day wandering around and seeing the many sites of the city and surrounds.
I would heartily recommend the place to anyone as a very serene and interesting experience.
I would also strong recommend you don't go on a day where it buckets down rain throughout the entire damn day. Puts a bit of a dampener on it really.
That said, we managed to:
1. Pray at a Buddhist shrine
2. Pray at a Shinto shrine
3. Buy good fortune tokens from both shrines
4. Visit a lot of souvenir shops
5. See a lot of wonderful (if somewhat wet) Japanese gardens
6. Purchase some delicious snacks!
All said, a fun day in the rain was had by all.
