Day 3 - Kamakura and Onsen

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine
Shopping at Komachi-dori street
Onsen


It was interesting seeing the shrine. The structures are beautiful, but it's sad to see people worshiping false gods. The shrine actually sounds scary because of the noises the bugs make. They were really loud...



After visiting the shrine, the Jea's took me shopping at Komachi-dori street, which is a popular tourist destination to buy souvenirs.


The souvenirs were naturally very Japanese, meaning cute and childlike. Lots of bunnies, and even a Miyazaki store.


Last activity of the day was relaxing at an onsen. It felt really good after a long day of walking. Onsens are Japanese public baths/spas. That was pretty scary as well because everyone is naked. I obviously don't have pictures of that, thank goodness!

I'm off to Shanghai tomorrow!! The Jea's were so accommodating and good to me. I was really blessed by them.
