Many young people come here, mostly because they watched the anime "Slam Dunk". Kamakura High School is the prototype of Lingnan High School in the anime "Slam Dunk". This ordinary little station has become a holy place in the hearts of countless comic fans. Standing at the intersection, amid the jingling of bells, watching the tram passing by the sparkling sea, the classic animation of passionate youth intertwined virtuality and reality in my mind, which was evocative and touching.
Our group came to Kotoku-in Temple to visit the Kamakura Giant Buddha. Kotoku-in is a temple of the Pure Land sect. The Great Buddha of Kamakura is the main Buddha of Kotoku-in and one of the three largest Buddha statues in Japan. The Big Buddha is 11.5 meters high (including 13.35 meters on the pedestal) and weighs 121 tons. It is a seated statue of Amitabha Tathagata with a face length of 2.35 meters and an ear length of 1.9 meters. The interior of the Buddha is hollow and can be visited from the bottom behind the statue.
The Big Buddha was built in 1252. It was originally built in the main hall. Due to the tsunami, only the open-air Buddha remained since 1498.
After visiting the Big Buddha, we walked around the city.
The streets are full of local specialty and restaurant shops, selling some Japanese small commodities and handicrafts. There are specialty food shops such as natto and ham, handicraft shops, cafes, and various time-honored restaurants. There are many restaurants and shops from both sides of the road to the depths of the small streets, row upon row, and they are very popular.
Strolling through the streets and alleys of this small town, I feel like I am not traveling, but rather a relaxing walk. It’s a pity that we are traveling in a group and there is a time limit. If we come back next time, we must take the Ezhitsu Electric to see the mountains and the sea, go for a walk along the Qili Beach, and have afternoon tea at the Small Town Cafe...
Saying goodbye to Kamakura, we arrived at Tokyo Bay as the sun set. Tokyo Bay is a bay in the Kanto region of Japan. It was named after it borders Tokyo and was formerly known as Edo Bay.
Here we saw a Statue of Liberty. We have never been to the United States and have not seen the real Statue of Liberty yet, but we are lucky enough to meet her here. The torch in the goddess's hand sparkles goldenly under the reflection of the setting sun, contrasting with the beautiful scenery of Tokyo Bay.
The scenery of Tokyo Bay under the sunset is extremely beautiful. In the distance is the Rainbow Bridge across the sea, and the entire Tokyo Bay is immersed in the golden sunshine.
Pretend to be in America.
When you are tired from shopping, treat yourself. The Japanese sashimi is really good, the roast beef is also great, and the egg fried rice will whet your appetite just by looking at it.
Overnight in Sakura. Looking out the window in the hotel room, I took a photo in the morning and evening.
After breakfast, board the bus to Tokyo.
I saw Tokyo Tower in the car and took a photo.
Then came to Akihabara. This is a world-famous electrical appliance street. Here electronics stores, model and toy stores, animation product stores and themed cafes coexist side by side.
Although there are home appliances for sale, more often than not, the maids soliciting business on the streets of Akihabara, the rows of anime shops, the colorful game arcades, the computer accessories crowded in the alleys, and the ubiquitous two-dimensional posters all highlight the uniqueness of the place. Such a style.
After visiting Akihabara, we went to Ginza. We did some shopping today, but we basically bought bags, facial masks, eye creams and skin care products for our children.
Thanks to the almighty WeChat group, I posted a few photos of our trip to Japan in the university class group. Brother Ye, who lives in the same dormitory with me, saw it and immediately contacted us, hoping to meet in Tokyo, so I got Ginza A brief get-together (we were on a group tour and rushed to Osaka in the evening).
Although the reunion was short-lived, the friendship between classmates permeated the hearts of each of us. As the saying goes:
Beautiful sunset by Edo Bay,
A bronze statue of the goddess welcomes guests.
Tokyo towers rise in the clouds,
Akihabara Street Electrical Name.
Ginza Central Area Alumni Reunion,
A different kind of feeling in a foreign country.
