Although it had rained on and off since morning, it gradually let up in the afternoon.  When we took memorable photos at Kotokuin Temple, the steps in front of the Great Buddha was dry enough for us to sit on.  After taking photos, we headed for Enoshima Island.   The participants in most groups had free time there. Although it rained intermittently again, they seemed to enjoy walking around Enoshima Island.
