Day 49 - Bullseye!
Jase was sooo excited today! If the festival is still on we were going to be watching Yabusame (traditional Japanese horseback archery). We weren't sure it was still on because of the earthquake. To get there, we checked out of the hotel and caught the bullet train bound for Kamakura, which was 3 hours of travel. The festival starts at 1:15pm and …

Holiday by the Sea

Affter dropping our bags off at the hotel we catch the train to Kamakura to walk along some interesting tourist streets and visit the Kamakura temple, and The Great Buddha. The train to and from Enoshima is a heritage train which winds through between houses. In fact if the train were to stop outside your house you ...
