Kamakura and the Hot Chocolate Stick

During our trip to Japan, we spent one day sightseeing in Kamakura that was once the ancient Capitol of Japan from 1185 to 1333.  There are many beautiful temples in Kamakura and it's a place that is always worth visiting when in Japan.  This is also where the giant Buddha is located called Daibutsu.  We visited Daibutsu in 2014.     Kamakura has a historic railway called the Enoshima Electric Railway or Enoden line that looks like a streetcar which dates clear back to 1902.  It is fun to ride and takes you to many of the sightseeing stops.  Kamakura is also right along the coast making for beautiful scenery.  It is about an hour train ride from Tokyo so it's similar distance as Nick's home town of Yokosuka.  Lots of people come from Tokyo to Kamakura on the weekends for the beach and it's laid-back, earthy vibe, organic restaurants and cafes, and lots of unique shopping.  We always enjoy...
