Hello everyone, How is your stay during the warning against going some where by the government. I'm afraid of the Corona Virus, I wash my hands after going back to my home and I put on a mask when I go somewhere. This time, I would like to introduce Kamakura City. As you know, it is one of the well known tourist sights in Japan. There are many temples and historical buildings because they were originally built by the shogunate in the Kamakura Era.
First I went to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine (鶴岡八幡宮). It is one of the landmarks in Kamakura. It is crowed with tourists from all over the world.There are enshrined three gods, Ojin Emperor (応神天皇), Himegami(比売神）and Jingu Empress (神功皇后). And there are some national treasures and important cultural properties designated by the government.
And you can see the beautiful flowers in four seasons. Cherry blossom bloom in the spring.
And next, I went to the Houkoku-ji Shrine. the shrine famous for bamboo trees.
I could relax there because it were not noisy, but quiet. The green of bamboo was really good. and you can stop by the cafe in the shrine to eat some sweets, However, I didn't go there this time.
And finally I went to Enoshima Island. It is located near Kamakura City. In the summer, it is crowded with surfer, families and couples. The weather was fine. It was really good for taking photos, I took some photos. You can see the ocean view from the top of the mountain. Cherry blossoms were in bloomed, It was really beautiful.
