【鎌倉】Hasedera temple 長谷観音寺

Here would be the last spot I visited in Kamakura

There are too much photos to be post

so I would divided into 2 post though

So

Lets start the journey

On the way coming back from the Big Buddha

there is a junction turning into the 

HasederaTemple

長谷寺

Since kamakura is a historical town 

You may see thrishaw all over

with sexy short pants haha

Here is the entrance of the Temple

well here you need to pay a entrance fee of 300yen

Here is being awarded as one of the famous sight seeing spot

for foreigners

Well maybe you should have a try too!!

Well there is a pond just right after you enter the door

please do not try to pee inside the pond though haha

There is some girls in yukata resting in the garden

well when you see girls in yukata

high percentage that there will be a firework 

around the area when the sky get dark

This temple is very relaxing

because

there is lots of Japanese garden around

with ponds and greens

There is the stairs leads to the temple

In Japan

you will need to wash you hands and soak your mouth 

before entering a sacred place

This is the Japanese Culture

After being cleaned 

here we go!!

Go go go

Please look out for this cute happy buddha

The god of earth

This is the water god I perhaps

There is lots of small statue around

This area is for prayers to the young ones

Goddess of the babies and children

This spot where a scoop is being placed

so how does it works then??

First scoop some water and pour on the god's head

Like this

This temple has special charm

such as 

Watermelon charm 

for health and luck

(Why watermelon??)

Strawberry charm 

for dreams come true

(Why strawberry???)

Lady Bug Charm 

for Academic, Health and Safe Drive

(Bug????)

The charm sounds weird though

I found a love shape on a rock!!

How lucky am i!!

Here would be the main thing of this temple

inside there is a Big Quan Yin inside

No photos allowed

so..... sorry!!!

There is a small garden beside the temple

which will leads you to a higher level

where you will need to do a small hike

Japanese garden is very pretty for me

love to walk around

feel so peaceful

 There is more to go!!!!

Next will be the hiking area!!!!

Ciao!!
