The city of Kamakura is only 3 train stops from us and has so much to offer that we headed back there on Sunday Jan 4th. It also happened to be the last day of the Japanese New Year holiday period so it was really crowded (especially since Kamakura has plenty of shrines and temples, which is a big part of their New Year tradition). But we ended up trying some street foods, visiting a shrine and temple, and finding a quick hike.
Note: blogger loaded these pictures in reverse order!
