The following day saw us back at Shin Kobe Station for the train back to Tokyo. Three and half hours scorching through the Japanese countryside at 170mph.The following day we took the expres local train to the seaside town of Kanagawa, an hour southwest of Tokyo.Our first stop was a visit to ‘Taiizan Kotoku-in Shojosen-ji’ or more commonly referred to as the great Buddah, one of the most famous icons in Japan.The Buddah stands 11.3 m tall and weighs in at 121 tons.He was built in the 13th century and is still in original condition, having never been restored.Just down the road was the 100yen, (70p) gift shop.All around this coastal town were Tsunami evacuation route signs.Down the road was the seashore with a few people taking g to the water.Windsurfing and paddle boarding seemed popular.A few ladies in traditional dress.Diane and I enjoying some delicious crepes.This cafe offered you the chance to pet an owl whilst sipping your coffee.Back on the train after a tiring day!
And soback to Tokyo and thinking of our last day in Japan tomorrow.
Recently taken early retirement and taking the time to travel and tick off items in my bucket list.
