Kamukura

This is a wonderful city about an hour and half from Tokyo.  It was my first event since arriving here in July and I say hurray!  This town although crowded because it is a holiday weekend was so wonderful and spiritual.  You wash your hands before you go to the temple or shrines.  

I remember coming to see this Buddha when I was 8 years old.  It was first built in 1252.  How amazing and wonderful.  

We also observed a traditional wedding.  Don't she look pertty??

And some women who were dressed traditionally agreed to take a photo opp with me.  You don't often see people in Tokyo dressed traditionally unless they are older or for special occasions.
