Around Kamakura
Sunday May 06, 2012
Spent a better part of a day in Kamakura. It’s little over an hour from the Shinjuku station in Tokyo. It’s a coastal city with many shrines and beautiful attractions. It’s also just a nice area with cafes, shops, and has a laid back coast-vibe to it.
I don’t have a photo but I had some amazing donuts at Natural Donuts while there.
Also outside the station there’s a small taiyaki stand called Tai Putit that sells “mini-taiyaki” in various filling. You can buy a mixed bag, which I did.
It was such a sunny day and much of their concrete is so very bright white that most my photos had really blown white balance. Even with sunscreen I came home that late afternoon with a slight sunburn on my neck & forehead. :sunny:

I love Kamakura, I always felt like it was such a lovely countryside town but it still had plenty to see and do. I only did a quick look up and down the high street whilst looking for somewhere to eat, after visiting the Buddha. I’d definitely love to visit again.

Oh, I would love to travel outside of the big cities next time I go to Japan. This is exactly the kind of place I’ve been wanting to go to whevever I visited before…
