Today is the last full day of the Bennett family invasion of Japan. In an effort to leave our mark on as large a geographic area as possible we make one last day trip to Kamakura, which everyone who follows this blog knows is one of Aya and I's favorite places to visit.
Kristin and Paul look out from the tea house
I love the way the bamboo filters the sunlight in this space
Our next stop is Hachimangu, a shrine that sits up on the hillside and overlooks central Kamakura
The main shrine on the hilltop
We were lucky enough to catch a traditional wedding in the lower pavillion while we were there
The next stop is Daibutsu - the giant buddha made of bronze
Scott enjoys the mist fan. Once we found this it was hard to keep moving
A quick stop at the beach, where everyone examines something that washed up on the beach. Unfortunately, since the earthquake and tsunami there has been more trash and debris that washes onto the beach than usual.
A modest collection of plates to demonstrate our ability to eat as much sushi as the ocean can provide
