We flew into Narita and then road Em’s first-ever train.
We stayed the night in Tokyo and then headed to Kamakura the next afternoon.
I wasn’t certain if it was culturally taboo, so we went and found a bench on the grounds of a shrine to eat our lunch at.
The hydrangeas were in bloom.
We were passed by an adorable group of school children.
The Kamakura Guesthouse. This is where we stayed and I want to visit Kamakura again so I can stay there again.
Mom and Em enjoyed washing their hands at all the temples, especially since it was so warm in the area.
The great Buddha of Kamakura. Apparently you can go inside for 20 yen, but we realized it at 4:32 and he closed at 4:30.
We held the great Buddha.
You can see the windows in his back.
His sign.
These guys were running all over the Tokyo area. I don’t envy their job, but it seemed like a cool way to see parts of the city.
We happened to be there for the Guesthouse’s 2 year anniversary, so they made a big dinner for everyone who was interested.
This is Nikku-Jugga. It’s a beef and potato dish.
After dinner instruments were broken out and a mini-concert started.
The common area the next morning.
The super-cool lockers.
