Guiding a French Lady around Kamakura--Really Healed by Walking


[Date and Time] Tuesday, August 25, at 9:30~18:00
[Spots] Engakuji Temple, Kotokuin Temple (Great Buddha), Hokokuji Temple,
Sugimotodera Temple, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, and Komachi Dori Shopping Street
[Visitor] A French Lady
[Attendant] 1 KSGG member
[Language] French

The visitor, who is a fan of Japanese comic books, had taken a four-week holiday to visit Japan. She seemed to have been healed by walking around Kamakura. She probably understood my warm hospitality--the principle of a volunteer guide. She was the first visitor who opened out to me like that. Her host family, who was with us that day, thanked me again and again saying that KSGG ‘s activity was so helpful.
