It was fine and very hot today. I went to Kamakura (鎌倉). It is a very history place with many famous temples and shrines. This time I visited the statue of the Great Buddha (大仏：daibutsu) and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu (鶴岡八幡宮) shrine. Please see the pictures.
Many Japanese are usually both Buddhist and Shintoist at the same time. Kamakura is a good place to see both religions, that is, to see temples for Buddhism and shrines for Shintoism.
Last time when I visited Kamakura was in March. At that time I went to see the fallen big Ginkgo Tree at the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. But I could not see the remain at that time, but this time I saw the bottom of the tree and the transplanted branch.
There are many big lotus flowers at the ponds.
After a long walk I got suntan on my shoulders.
