First temple we hit in Kamakura is Engakuji. |
|
Because (even though?) it was raining, the "ajisai" flower was blooming pretty well. It's like a big cluster flower, and in a bunch of colors. Hello again flower macro photography. |
 |
At Tsurugaoka, I decided to spend the 500 yen donation and make a wish plate thing. I think you can see what I wrote.
...and what kind of free stuff? I dunno, anything. |
 |
Sweet tiger right above the wish plate area. |
 |
Daibutsu, Big Buddah, Great Buddah, Giant Buddah, whatever. Luckily the rain cleared up and the skies got clear right before we went to see this thing. |
 |
It looks pretty sweet with the mountains and sky in the background. |
 |
When giant monsters attack Kamakura, it's up to Daibutsu to go to robot mode and kick butt with its back-mounted missle launchers. Or wings, whichever. |
|
Everyone takes a picture like this at the Great Buddah, so I did also. That means I'm cool now, right? No.
|
|
Ari and Yoko at the Hase-Dera, the last stop of the tour. |
|
PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE.
Naguru zo. |
|
Temple pictures are a lot better when you're wearing a pair of aviators and looking menacing.
|
 |
Me and a big random group of people. Asian chick near the right side is the one who thought I was Japanese. |
|
Fountains, etc. Standard temple fare, but still looks cool. |
 |
And of course no bus trip home would be complete witout KARAOKE BUS. Oh man and you thought you got a headache from motion sickness. Hirose-sensei apparently loves singing karaoke, and here is performing the Japanese version of YMCA, which still retains the homo-eroticism of the original. |
