What we saw in Kamakura and Enoshima
Filtered by what you care about. Crowd notes included, because I know you were wondering.
Temple Great Buddha of Kamakura
It sits in the open now, and it is hollow. You can go inside.
Viewpoint · Free Kamakura-Kokomae crossing
Train, sea and road in one frame. Felt straight out of an anime.
Beach · Free Shichirigahama Beach
A surf beach with dark sand, not a swimming beach like we imagine in India.
Island Enoshima
A small island just off the coast. On a clear day you can see Mt Fuji from here.
Nothing with that tag yet.
