Yesterday I and my personal guide Helena took the train to Kamakura. This is an old city that once was the capital of Japan. There are many old temples in Kamakura and we managed to visit four of them.
First we went to the biggest one of them. We were just about to enter it when we saw a bridal couple. They all wore amazing clothes and were lined up for some pictures. When we stood there watching four young Japanese students approached us and asked if they could be our guides around the temple. They were studying English and wanted to practice. Really ambitious, I must say. Of course we said yes, and they showed us around explaining what everything is and the traditions. After that Helena and I went on our own to see the other temples. It was great to see such different kinds of temples. Everything from really grand and crowded to small and peaceful. I've put up a whole bunch of pictures of these amazing temples.
After the temples we went to Yokohama and took a walk around the harbour. Such a huge difference between the peaceful temples in Kamakura to the skyscrapers in Yokohama. I got to do some shopping and we had some fika at Staba. When we returned to Roppongi after a long day of walking we met up with the rest of the guys to go to the yakitori place. Finally we ended up at a club called Bauhaus, and yes.. they did steal the logo, where a really awesome Japanese band were playing covers.
