Kamakura was breathing and was well worth the trip! We saw and experienced so much in very little time. Kono San was an amazing tour guide! I felt immersed in the Japanese culture. I learned all about the sacred rituals and history of Japan. The gardens, shrines, and temples were so beautiful!

Wow, spectacular to see such large bamboo trees. Having seen a great deal of bamboo in my travels, this forest was peaceful.
