Today we did a lot in a short time. We had a wake up call of 7:00! and breakfast at 7:30. This was made up of ham, noodles, rice, miso soup and grapefruit. It was oishi (delicious), we then made our way down to the subway station to catch yet another train. We finally ended up in Hase where we went and saw the biggest Buddha in Japan (maybe even the world!). This was amazing to see how big it actually was!!!
We also had the chance to go inside the Buddha.
After spending some time there, we were given free time to roam the streets filled with unique little shops.
By this stage, it was about lunch time. We went to the corner 7/11 to get some fast take out Japanese food. You could get rice, noodles, obento boxes ... anything really.
Then we strolled down to the beach to sit and eat. The water was beautiful, but I wouldn`t call the san that. Then we were off again to another temple in Kamakura. This was a wonderful old temple. After looking around here, we all decided to go back to Harajuku. Everyone just loves that place.
We ended up busking where there were some Harajuku girls and we got 500 yen. After this we got more free time to shop and look around.
It was getting dark and we walked down to the biggest intersection in Japan. We walked through it and no-one got lost. We then went to find dinner. We found a nice little restaurant and ate there.
Then a little more shopping and looking around and then back on the subway to our home.
