After visiting Jochiji-temple, M-san and I went up the hill
--Kuzuharagaoka hiking course.
I felt as if I were climbing Mt. Takao. I was surprised
that there was a hill like that in the center of Kamakura.
Kuzuharagaoka-shrine (葛原岡神社)was only
thirty minutes away from Jochiji-temple (浄智寺).
But I felt very tired. What a relief when I got to
Kuzuharagaoka-shrine!
I thought Daibutsu hiking course would be difficult
for us, so we decided to go to Zeniarai-Benzaiten
(銭洗弁財天). I washed a 10000-yen bill.
Last July M-san and I stayed in Kamakura only 4 hours.
I wanted to see much more of Kamakura.
I wanted to visit Enoshima which I had never visited before.
M-san and I met at Shinjuku Station at 10 o'clock.
We took the Shonan-Shinjuku line.
We found out that we had taken the wrong train
when the train stopped at Chigasaki !
We should have taken the train for Zushi.
We took the train for Odawara!
Anyway we arrived at Kita-Kamakura at noon.
We had some coffee at Jeanne d'Arc, M-san's favorite
coffee shop.
I asked the master about Kuzuharagaoka hiking course
(葛原岡ハイキングコース).
And we decided to enjoy the hiking course
to Kuzuharagaoka-shrine (葛原岡神社).
We started to walk from the coffee shop.
On the way to the hiking course we visited Tokeiji-temple (東慶寺).
It is famous as 'sanctuary', 駆け込み寺.
Ume was in bloom. Ume was beautiful against the blue sky.
