Kamakura

Today we checked out a city close to Tokyo called Kamakura.

Kamakura is a popular tourist destination due to its temples and beach. We arrived in the city around 2pm and wandered around its many temples. In one of the zen temples we took a few moments and practiced meditating. Looking into the meticulously maintained gardens while slowing down our breaths really relaxed us. 

We also checked out the beach at night time. I had gotten some free fireworks prior from a bunch of girls in exchange for a card I had in my wallet. So we set those off and relaxed to the music and beers. 

We came back and decided to check out the biggest fish market in Tokyo tomorrow and try to make it to the fish auctions. We will have to wake up really early at 2am!
