[Date and Time] Saturday, April 3, at 10:50 ~ 16:00
[Spots] Kotokuin Temple (Great Buddha), Hasedera Temple, and Engakuji Temple (Ryuin’an for tea ceremony)
[Visitors] 32 family members, with 16 Brazilian and 16 FF Tokyo host family members
[Attendants] 2 KSGG members
[Language] English, Portuguese, and Spanish
As visitors numbered 32 in total and many women were included in them, the group was quite lively throughout the tour. Blessed with fine weather and cherry blossoms being in full bloom, it was a perfect day for sightseeing. The visitors could really enjoy their tour of Kamakura, for they could get in the Great Buddha, they had lunch at Hasedera Temple in its terrace bathed in sunlight, and they were fascinated by the mood and tools of tea ceremony at Engakuji Temple. Our explanations were made in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, but they were really happy when we talked in their mother-tongue Portuguese; it was quite impressive that they said "Obrigado(a)" (Thank you) repeatedly. We thought we should be ready to say greetings and simple phrases in the language of their mother country.
