Kamakura

This weekend (25th Novemeber 2006) I was shown some temples by Mike with Marc... first we took the train from Shinjuku to Kamakura:

me and Marc infront of the large buddha at the first temple we went to...

...a peacful garden behind the buddha

more sharp and shiny things than you can shake a stick at...this shop was beside a food shop...which sold (sweet) potato flavoured ice cream, yam jelly and sugar coated yam crisps... the latter were very nice...didn't try the ice cream.

the second temple we went to see...all the trees are very well groomed don't you think?

the view from a picnic area in front of the temple...

A house...which also served as a private shrine...we didn't go in...but it looked very pretty from the outside..
