Enoshima (江の島) is a small islandWhile we are on the way to Kamakura,we stopped by Enoshima as we bought one day pass that enable us to use the train unlimited. Frankly, i like Enoshima as the weather of the island is cooling. Not too cold, not too hot.

Mt Fuji. We are quite lucky to see it as it is a distance from here to hakone. Actually, Mt Fuji is best seen from Enoshima during winter in condition that it is a clear day.
around Enoshima. We can walk to the other side of the island but we can't manage it due to lack of time

Finally, we reached Kamakura!
the most famous spot that is a must to visit--- Great Buddha of Kamakura (Kamakura Daibutsu) which stands on a ground of Buddhist Temple, Kōtoku-in (高徳院).
different angles of Great Buddha. The Great Buddha, with a height of 13.35meters, is the second largest bronze Buddha statute in Japan. The statute was cast in 1252 and it is originally located in a wooden temple. However, after the wooden temple was washed away by tsunami in the end of 15th century. So, till now, the Great Buddha stands in the open air.
Inside the body of the statute. The statue is hollow, and visitors can view the interior for 20 Yen per person.
