Thursday 31st January
Got the Shinkansen back to Tokyo where I headed off to Kamakura, a town situated about an hour away famously known for its big Buddha. What I found quite interesting was that unlike the UK, the food on the trains in Japan is highly regarded, with people keen to try out the bento box of the area. I decided however to opt for a Starbucks instead.
Kamakura is a really cute town with the main shopping streets lit up with lanterns and most of the main attractions accessible by foot. I visited a couple of shrines and temples today including one set admidst a bamboo forest which was impressive. The rest I plan to cover off tomorrow before heading back to Tokyo for the weekend.
