Trip to 

Kamakura 鎌倉

a old town of Japan

that full of historical sights

It is located far way down of Tokyo

in kanagawa prefecture

It will takes 90-120 minutes from Tokyo

by train JR Yokosuka Line


After a long train from Tokyo

★★Welcome to Kamakura★★


When you reach Kamakura Station


out from east exit

you will see a big temple gate on your left

take the direction from there

and here my journey starts!!!

☆☆☆☆☆

Well this is nothing about Kamakura

This is just about the craziness of Japanese

Those Japanese (some dog lovers)

get a baby car which is not for baby

but is specially for dogs!!!!!!!

This is a common scene if you come visit Japan

The dogs are way too good to have a life

Dog car, fashion, saloon..... etc

This is one of the Dogs I seen during my journey

a Poodle with sun glass

cool right?!



Now the journey starts!! (again)

After turn in from the big temple gate

There starts the Shopping Town



There is a Gibhli Shop

A famous animation such as Totoro, Ponyo... etc

a lot of Gibhli goods selling inside

although Kamakura is nothing to do with Gibhli though

Gibhli Museum is actually at 吉祥寺 Kichijouji



Various Potty of Totoro

I hope I have the money to buy all for my garden

haha




The environment looks like this

looks more European style I perhaps

Not so Japanese



★★Introducing some interesting Japanese Snack★★

Japanese cracker

This is my first time to try wet rice cracker

call Nuresen ぬれせん



and also

Local Squid Cracker
江ノ島たこせん

(This one bit expensive though)



other than that

There is a lot of fancy shops

Well I realize there is a lot of umbrella shops



and the latest umbrella fashion is

you will get designs and patterns on top of the umbrella when

it gets wet

(normal price for good umbrella)



There is one fashionable signboard

It written shirt so it attracts the guys interest


The building looks very fashionable as well

but when they was about to enter the door
