Just when we were learning that “Air Con” = heater and that you walk to the left not the right (same way Japanese drive), it was time to depart. We drove south along the coast taking in the harbor view on our way to Kamakura, home to the largest bronze Buddha statue in Japan. The weather continued to favor us in this small, seaside town reminiscent of Galveston with its beaches, great restaurants, souvenir shops, surfers, and throngs of tourists including visiting groups from other parts of Japan. This week is a school break in the country and a lot of schools take “field trips.”
Dinner tonight included wearing traditional kimonos and a karaoke machine. Some of the videos might be available for blackmail one day! The girls definitely outperformed the boys. We can see Mount Fuji in the distance and the peace of this rural area is palpable. The only stressful thing the students had to face today were the rules for the Japanese onsen here at the hotel...No tattoos, no food or drinks, and absolutely no clothing in the hot springs. Sayonara!!
