Kamakura


Kamakura is well known place as a historical city. The other day I went there for the first time.There is a huge statue of Buddha whose sitting height is 11.39 meter. Even we can go inside its body. It built more than 700 years ago, but the notice board says it was designed not to collapse even earthquake. Great isn't it?

As the season of cherry blossoms has just started, they are selling Sakura(cherry blossom) icecream! How can I discribe the taste of it? It is sweet, but not much, and taste reminds me of the smell of cherry blossoms. Anyway it is ok, yummy.

Hey, the statue looks beautiful. I find it hard to believe that it is already 700 years old and still standing...

I guess ice creams come in all kind of flavour, ya?

I love going to Kamakura! It is one of my favorite places in Japan so far. I like to visit the Budda and also the Hase Kannon Temple. It is always so beautiful there. My first time to Kamakura, I ate some sweet potato ice cream and it was sooooooo good!! I will have to go try some sakura ice cream very soon!
On a side note....olive oil ice cream? That does not sound very appetizing. Please let me know how you like it!
