Kamakura
July 17, 2020 in Japan ⋅ 🌧 22 °C
Aujourd'hui nous sommes dans la préfecture de Kanagawa, près de la baie de Sagami ! Nous sommes logés chez un couple d'Américains beaucoup trop gentils avec nous et leurs 4 chats ! Nous allons au restaurant ensemble, discutons voyages, culture japonaise... Une super rencontre !
Pour ce qui est de Kamakura, pas besoin de beaucoup de texte, les photos parleront d'elles-mêmes : jardin zen, statues trop mignonnes, temples à couper le souffle... Le tout sublimé par un train en bord de mer et le fameux grand Bouddha de Kamakura !
C'était notre dernière étape avant Tokyo !Read more

Kotoku-In

The Big Buddha - also known as Daibutsu - was close to Hasedera. At 13 meters tall, I expected to see this statue from the street. I was surprised when I came to the entrance gate and still couldn't see it. I guess it was because of how the buildings and streets were oriented in relation to the statue. This bronze Buddha was built in the 13th century and has withstood earthquakes and tsunamis that destroyed the surrounding buildings. The highlight for me was going inside the hollow core of this big guy.

Hase-dera e il grande Buddha

Prendiamo un trenino che passa in mezzo alle case per arrivare al complesso di Hase e vedere il grande Buddha. Poi si mangia il piatto tipico di Kanazawa, la soba.
