Didn’t love Osaka but did love this neon grocery
and this diner
headed to Kamakura, last part of which journey was on a monorail
beautiful building in which I’m sleeping on a very thin futon
kamakura is beautiful and well-off, and with eclectic seaside architecture
lots of chatting in Japanese, occasionally translated for me and one other foreigner. We shaved some ice. Easy to sense rural/urban gradient as I approach Tokyo even through language barrier
today walked all around
buddha built in 14th century
built 20s or 30s I think. Grounds of the feudal lord. Now museum of literature
young men and women hanging out in the beachfront convenience store parking lot. Lawson is one of three major convenience stores, and western-outpost themed.
nice day. Tokyo tomorrow

Such a sense of purpose and angle to these photos. So much more of a feeling of wholeness and that I can actually understand where you are. Love the hostel group shot, on tatami. xoxoxox.
