It was about lunchtime when we went from Hase Dera, although it was sent in October was a warm, so we decided to head back to the station making the location of the morning. Along the way we would find something to eat and after we decided to go. We did not have a map of Kamakura, so soprenderà those who have read some previous posts that at one point did not recognize the way!
One of the guides on Japan that I consulted suggested that often get lost, because the only way to discover angles that do not imagine, because the only way to discover its soul more generous and genuine. And if there is a place where I am sorry that I lost what it is Kamakura. Reconstruct the path we took was rather difficult even with the help of Google Maps Street View, but paradoxically had unwittingly taken a right path.
In the photo, the area near the intersection of the 32 prefectural (leading to the Daibutsu ) and 311 leading near the station.
Various shops scattered along the way were some open some closed, and the animation was far away that we would find the streets a few hours later, as the afternoon progressed. The more we continued along the 311, plus the faded resort area to make way for homes, with very few local shops to color in subtle landscape.
Perhaps this was to fool us. After about a mile, in fact, we decided to take a cross to the left, convinced (rightly) of having the wrong road. Too bad that the bar made us extend the path to the station, we would find - quite by chance - less than a mile after!
We turned in an alley near a place called Sasamemachi very close but far more picturesque 311.
not remember the number of times to change course after that turning point, with narrow streets became more narrow and sloping green.
It was by pure luck that after covering a lot of road, we came out in a wider road, the prefectural 21, exactly at the point where to place along the perimeter of the great temple Tsurugaoka Hachimangu . The little man of Street View in the left picture indicates the point where we reached the entrance of the temple is visible in the center of the photo.
We were stunned by the solemn Torii red and from the crossing which opened up a very large artery that went to where the view was able to cover (in fact to the sea for more than two miles). We knew nothing of this temple!
The view was spectacular. The temple rose up, climbing a slope and preseguendo the visual line that departed from the sea.
crossed the torii and set off towards the bridge that marked the entrance of the temple. Hunger could wait!
