[Date and Time] Wednesday, May 12, at 8:30 ~ 16:30
[Spots] Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, Hasedera Temple, Kotokuin Temple, Yokohama Waterfront (by “Sea Bass”), Yokohama Chinatown, and Yokohama Station
[Visitors] A Canadian family of 3
[Attendant] 1 KSGG member
[Language] English
The husband, who is a lawyer for a major auditing and consulting firm, and his wife met in college. They have a three-year-old daughter now. It seemed to me as if to look after a family of a granddaughter. To begin with, we visited an 800-year-old temple and the Great Buddha, and then a shrine to explain the flexibility of Japanese people accepting both Buddhism and Shintoism. The wife said, ”How nice it is to have no conflict between the religions!” For lunch, we had tempura with vegetables and seafood dipped in batter and deep-fried, over which they smacked their lips. Then we went to Yokohama. They were impressed with the waterfront view from the “Sea Bass” boat and looked very much surprised at the great change from the Samurai period 150 years before to the present day, We also enjoyed walking around Yamashita Park and the Red Brick Warehouse. They gave me this comment at a coffee shop in Yokohama Chinatown:
- We enjoyed the visit to the temples at Kamakura and the Daibutsu.
- Especially, we enjoyed the sea bass boat ride along the Yokohama water front very much and the walk through Chinatown.
- You were a very good and knowledgeable guide and were very helpful, especially helping us with our three year old child.
Surprisingly, she gave me a bottle of maple syrup. I thanked them for a pleasant day I could have with them. They were really a very active couple in their thirties.
