Japan
Enoshima
Wonderful
2 jours
We are late. So no time to go for a beer.
instead, I rushed out to get something to eat:
Sushi
Incredible the entire Yokohama population is at the store grabbing some fast food.
Aisle and aisle of sushi to go or other suppose healthy food, pack in
plastic containers, plastic bags, plastic boxes.
Where are the beautiful bento boxes?
All gone I guess.
So, I did like the Japanese people, grab some sushi and ice tea.
Went to eat in my room.
I'm not used to grab sushi like this. The last time I did that I was at the airport in Toronto, I bought some sushi at Camden Co a food store and the sushi was not very fresh. I was sick like a dog and had to be carried off the hotel room on a stretcher directly to the hospital. I had food poisoning.
So I grab 2 boxes of sushi just in case one is not fresh ....
I spoiled my entire dinner of sushi by wondering if it was fresh or not.
I should have walk to the sushi place.
20 minutes walk from hotel...
There aren't so many sushi places around. Its not like you imagine...
Japanese like their fried food and their gyoza.
What ever this being said, I was excited to be in Japan again. After my nice meal, I checked out the temperature for the next day and it didn't look to promising:
60% of rain!
Might as well be at a nice place if it going to rain. So, I decided to go back to the island and finish my tour around it. It will be the place where they will help the sailing competition for the Olympics 2020.
I woke up quite early and when I look at my facebook page, I saw my fellow worker who was also up and decided to wave at him a little hello at 5: 20 in the morning. He decided to join me in this wonderful venture.
We left the hotel at 5:30
Jumped on the JR line to go to Kamakura.
It was quite full at this time of the hour all ready.
When in Kamakura we took the bus to go to the bamboo forest.
We were too early and everything around us was close.
We went to visit a very old temple with a tach roof.
We spend some time there. It was lovely very calming very zen.
We could not find a place for coffee and we decided to go directly to the island and come back at the end of the day.
Took the bus than the electric train to Enoshima, it's almost the last stop.
20 minutes ride near the ocean and very close to the houses. It feels very funny.
In Enoshima we walk under the boulevard in a tunnel, than on the bridge. Roughly 600m
but no chance to see the beautiful Fudji mountain today.
We saw the food stand
The popular food stand
Where craft men are busy printing their eatable master piece. Too nice to be eaten.
Leaving Kamakura for Enoshima. We couldn't find a place for coffee or breakfast while waiting for the forest Bamboo ....temple to open....
However this being said we really saw wild fishes in crisp clear water going by us. How amazing was that. I didn't think they swim into the wild...that much that big.
Yes we went on top in the candle they call it lucky I was with Craig or else I will have never gone.
Don't like glass elevator. What an amazing view.
I don't think we knew there was a deck up above us. Next time. I just love to come here.

yes this is not a fish but an Urubu in Enoshima there are all over dancing around us.
a pond of turtles
Enoshima speciality
The ocean is the other way. I know we are in Japan but
no just kidding surfers are very happy surfer here. Planty of waves
Too cute to pass.

Delicious as usual with a garlic bread and this infinite view just perfect and I had company to share it with. Wonderful.
My friend took bolognese sauce, he said he liked it but unfortunately for me who tasted it I would recommand the sea food dish you are on an island it can not be fresher than this.
Enjoying our great lunch after this climbing you bet we deserve a meal
I was very tempted to get one of those.
Better be in shape to come here. There are also elevators but not every where.
Back on the beach on our way to the bamboo forest for our matcha you can see the island behind me.
too cute too pass
The teacher here are dress perfectly.
Wish I brought some back.
Fantastic day.
