明月院のうさぎと亀

Meigetsuin Temple was founded in 1160. The name translates as Bright Moon Temple. It is especially enjoyable to visit in June when we can enjoy the beautiful garden areas filled with hydrangea.

On this day, one year ago...

Today we went sightseeing around Kamakura. We'd planned WAY too much to do in Kamakura, so we had to focus on the highlights.

I took my camera out with me, and I know I've said how for the ease of it I prefer taking pictures with my phone, but the photos look so much nicer from my camera imo. This post is going to be such a photo dump.

First, we went to see the Great Buddha of Kamakura, but on the way, while we were walking, we saw this XD

Everyone was taking photos and saying hi to the driver. It was so weird 😂 I love it so much. What even IS that 😂

Anyways, the Great Buddha statue and area was really awesome, albeit suuuuper crowded 😅

Then we ventured over to Hasedera Temple. I got separated from my friend for a little while, I can't remember why lol, so I went off to take some photos and enjoy the sights.

This was the view 🥰

We then went to the Meigetsuin Temple :)

As we were walking home I took some photos of the quiet streets. I love how clean and tranquil the residential areas of Japan are, and walking down these small streets was really lovely.

As we were nearing our hotel we saw the Ofuna Kannon Statue peeking up above the trees XD

I'd love to go back to Kamakura. We planned to do more things in two days, but the day we arrived we never really got it together. We were tired from travelling from Tokyo, and we just wanted to gather our bearings. However, what we saw was so amazing. I'll have to dump all my Kamakura photos on here at some point, but this post is running out of room 😂

I think we bought cake back to the hotel with us from this lovely little cake shop that was in the main market street just down from our hotel. Oh, and we did karaoke that night at a Native American themed karaoke club 😂

I visited Meigetsuin Temple to see the hydrangeas (^o^)

I've been wanting to come here for a long time, but I haven't been able to come so far (^o^)

I'm happy to finally see the beautiful hydrangeas that I've been longing for (^o^)v
