Kamakura is mostly known for its temples, shrines and the beach. It’s a popular daytrip for Japanese folks. We went and saw Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū, which is considered the most important shrine in Kamakura (by our English guide books, so take that for what you will). It was quite beautiful, and a nice relaxing break from the madness of Tokyo.
We walked down the road to smaller shrine, stopping in a little café (which was basically a woman’s house) along the way.
Chris and I decided to go see the Daibutsu, which is basically a giant statue of Buddha. It was awe-inspiring. You can actually go inside the statue, which inspired my awe even more.
Derek and Jon went to the beach. While they were there they found a pretty hilarious sand sculpture.
After a day in the country, we were excited to go see our label-mates Lillies and Remains play at Shibuya Plug. Another awesome venue, and the band was rad too.
We met a nice young woman (who was carrying around a stuffed animal) at the show who liked our band, but had missed us at O-Nest. Our fan base includes plushies I guess.
As was becoming tradition, we went for a late night meal with Ricky. Again, the food was great.
