Around Kamakura
Sunday, May. 6, 2012 | 26 Comments
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:

It looks so dreamy… The taiyaki looks yummy too! :)
They were, though the smallest order was like a bag of 15 hahaha!
Wow, so very cool and seems like a relaxing place to be! What kind of different fillings did you get in the Taiyaki?
If I recall there was red bean paste, chocolate, vanilla, sakura (cherry, sorta,) rose, and matcha.

Those mini-takiyakis are so cute! Maybe I’ll go to Kamakura too when I’m in Japan :)
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…
Ah~ I LOVE taiyaki (and can never remember the Korean word for it…I call it fish bread, derp). I want mini-taiyaki too T T
I really love these photos, tho. This place looks so calming in your photos, I’d love to walk around there all day….
DOn’t you just love the atmosphere of small Japanese towns~ The mini taiyaki looks so yummy! :D
i love this quaint town atmosphere…the nautical decorations are so sweet…reminds me a little of New England
