Kamakura One-Day Trip / 鎌倉一日旅

October kimono gathering @ Kamakura.  Getting together at Shinjuku St. at 8:30am (!), we headed for Kamakura on Odakyu & Enoden. 
At Fujisawa St. changing to Enoden, we were suddenly surrounded by a huge number of foreign tourists trying to take photos of us!  What's happening here...?  Their tour guide told us that they were visiting Japan on JICA's inter-cultural event.  It was just like being a movie star, chased by media cameramen clicking shutter of cameras endlessly.  We were the focus of millions of flashing cameras. 

10月のきもの会は待望の鎌倉一日旅。早朝8：30に新宿駅集合(！)、小田急と江ノ電を乗り継いで鎌倉へ。
藤沢駅で江ノ電に乗り換え時、おもむろに外国人観光客らしき大群に包囲される。いったい何が起きているのか？ガイドさんいわく、ＪＩＣＡの国際交流イベントで訪日中の外国人たちらしい。しばしの間フラッシュの洪水を浴び続け、映画スターのよう。

Nice visit to temples and shopping time in spite of a heavy rain and hot, humid weather.  When we came to the Buddha statue, sunshine started to come back. 

大雨と蒸し暑さの中だったが、いろんなお寺の訪問やお買い物が楽しめた一日。大仏さんのところに来たらお日さまが戻ってきた。
