Day 14 Yokohama 横浜

Met up with and spent the day with Yoshimichi Hasegawa. He was the manager in chief for many years at Sumitomo Electric Industries (SEI) that was my major client over my last 15 years at the firm. we got an early start and headed out, and for me back, to Kamakura 鎌倉. no redundancy from the previous weekend there, we visited different places. It would be easy to spend two full days there to cover all the temples and other interesting sites. upon arriving, we headed to the Hokokuji Temple, the first Buddhist site in Kamakura that dates back to 734. we also visited the oldest temple in Kamakura, that unfortunately, the name of which, I missed. we did a nice, informal lunch, and even some shopping before heading back to Yokohama. Back in Yokohama, we toured the Yokohama Museum of art that so conveniently, happened to be right across the street from my hotel. Hasegawa-san made reservations at a very old style restaurant featuring chicken. This was a first experience for me, interesting and very enjoyable. He left to return home to Kushi and I returned to the hotel to pack and prepare for the long ride back tomorrow afternoon.

Still no idea where the penguins app is holding my drafts for two earlier days so this one is going up now .Read more
