Trip to Kanto Area (Part 3) "at Kamakura" ;

This is the last of my long post of trip to Kanto area;

*The Great Buddha at koutokuji-temple '高徳寺' *  

Entrance of Koutokuji;

*Tsuruokahachimanngu-shrine '鶴岡八幡宮 ' *

Surprising to see that a Wedding was going on at 'yumedono, 夢殿'. And people were taking pictures. I checked with PC's home-page of this shrine and found that they provide 'Shinto-style wedding' like this openly; and this way the couple can be celebrated by the visitors to the shrine as well;  

Hope you can see the bride in both pictures;

*Hasedera-temple '長谷寺 '*

I saw these ladies with kimono observing this sweet Ryouen-Jizo. Ryouen means making a good match. Jizo is the  popular Buddhist Bodhisattva.  I think these jizo prays "I hope you have the good fortune" for young people.

Machilus thunbergii (species of laurel), 椨の木（たぶの木、楠の仲間）
This tree amazed me with its gracefulness. 

*The last night of our trip, we enjoyed delicious Chinese food at Yokohama*

For the last, let me put lovely Jizo at Hasedera and the poodle I met during the trip. This Jizo called 'nagomi- jizo, 和み地蔵’, and meant to sooth or relief you. Wishing you all happy coming December♪   I won't put any more excuses every one, See You Soon!!!
