Today we (re) visited Kamakura, even if it is as if we had seen for the first time.
This time, in fact, having chosen the train and got correct, we had the whole day at our disposal, and we have devoted almost entirely to the hiking trails on the other completely different time.
From Kita-Kamakura station device, it is possible, following the path of Daibutsu reach the Big Buddha statue, walking for an hour surrounded by peaceful forests and up and down steep hills, slippery slopes and muddy steps.
Nothing better for those who want a little 'detoxify from the concrete metropolis, and thus, visited two temples near the station, we walked along the path. Quiet, in the countryside and challenging, but above all without the crowds of tourists that found elsewhere in the city.
So get to the Buddha at the end of the journey was almost a disappointment, because it also meant back down again in the tourist crowds.
A brief mention of the statue of Buddha cast in 1252 AD, and 13.5 meters high with a modest weight of 121 tonnes, up to 1498 was housed in a temple, not until a tsunami washed away the temple, leaving only the statue and the foundation stones of the temple. Since then it has been exposed to fresh air.
that we are lucky we will, but again we have caught two Italians who have come to recognize. No fans, this time, only that instead of cooing lovebirds Emilia shade of cherry blossom, arguing loudly in front of a temple, because he was tired and she still wanted to trek (all data learned during the passage in front of the temple).
Fortunately, this meeting happened before taking the path, so we were able to dispose of the shouting, enjoying the nimble Japanese grannies granny and we exceeded that on the road. One question has plagued us throughout the journey, but because the Japanese girl also bring heels to go for trekking?
soon!
