Lets visit the Great Buddha and enjoy Atami !

The Great Buddha!

Today, we left Tokyo and visited Kamakura. We got to see the temple and see the Great Buddha as well! It was a very cool day so it was nice to be out. After visiting the temple, we were off on our bus to Atami! The hotel was so nice and not too far off we could see the beach. It was a more traditional styled hotel too. At the dinner we wore yukatas and ate a very delicious Japanese meal including fish, crab, rice, and much more. I stayed in a room with three other girls and at night we took a stroll to the super market in the area. It was so quiet and peaceful just walking around Atami. We bought a few sweets and when we got back to our hotel we just talked, ate, and later went to bed.

今日東京から私たちは鎌倉に行きました。私たちは大仏を見ました。それでは熱海に行ってきました。ホテルはよかったよ。私は浴衣を着ていた。夜に私はスーパーマーケットに行きました。それは静かで平和だった。私はお菓子を買ってから眠りについた。

Miky Way and Ikebukuro !

Ikebukuro East Station!

Today we reached Ikebukuro! We had a day of free time, so Rey Sensei asked us how we wanted to spend it. Some of the girls in our group wanted to back to Harajuku to shop while my friends and I wanted to go explore Ikebukuro. So off we went by the train station and there we reached the Ikebukuro East Station. We walked around alot and went inside many shops and cafes.

We also were able to eat sweet treats at a cute, little café called Milky Way. They had adorable cakes, milkshakes, and even coffee with caramel-glazed marshmallows on top!

Later we visited Asakusa Kannon Temple, a Buddhist temple in Asakusa. It is also known as the Sensoji Temple. Apparently the temple was built for the goddess of Mercury named Kannon. It was very beautiful and colorful.

Chanko Nabe
ちゃんこ鍋

After spending time in the temple, we were off to dinner! We were treated to eat a dish known amongst sumo wrestlers! It was very big and looked delicious. Myself and friends from my group sat around this table on the floor (shoes off as well) and waited to be told how to correctly prepare the whole dish. It was my first time actually cooking raw meat too. My favorite foods were the fish cakes in the dish. We all enjoyed the meat, noodles, and other vegetables also in the big bowl. It was a great night to just sit and enjoy a big meal with everyone in our group.

Shopping in Harajuku !

                                                                          20日 6月

Harajuku!
原宿!

        We also went to Harajuku, a very popular place filled with tons of fashionable shops and cute cafes. It was also very crowded much like the streets of Tokyo. I saw alot of school girls around this area as well.
I had heard before that Harajuku had delicious crepe stands so I also got to try a very delicious crepe there.
I had one that was filled with cheesecake, caramel dressing, and whipped cream! They had so many to choose from. Since the area was very popular with fashion there were practically clothing stores at ever corner. Everyone walked on one street and there were family marts underground which I though was pretty neat.

私たちは原宿に行きました。多くの学校の女の子がありました。
