Hiking in Kita-Kamakura (北鎌倉)

I went hiking with some friends and co-workers a week or so ago in Kita-Kamakura.  It was so beautiful!  From the quaint train station (I wish I had remembered to take a photo) to the traditional homes and green nature everywhere... it is a current favorite location of mine.  

Golden Week - Part 1 (Kamakura, Enoshima)

Golden Week in Japan occurs in at the end of April-early May.  There are several national holidays within the same week, so many companies provide their employees with the entire week off.  It is one of three weeks off during the year that I have.  

Hidden in the forest lies Meiji Shrine (明治神宮)

Last week, I took a trip into Tokyo for computer repairs.  While there, I walked around Shibuya and made the trek through a forest to Meiji Shrine.  The fact that there is a huge forest right in the middle of Shibuya, Tokyo is interesting enough.  

Strolling through Kamakura （鎌倉市）

This past weekend, I decided to head down to Kamakura to check out a few temples and see the Great Buddha statue.
