  We explained about Buddhism, Shinto, the category of Buddhist statues, and Kamakura in the bus heading for Kotokuin Temple.  At Kotokuin Temple susuki (Japanese silver grass) and at Hasedera Temple fujibakama (boneset) welcomed us, so we enjoyed the autumn flavor. Some of them entered the inside of the Great Buddha.  At Hachimangu Shrine, a bride wearing a red uchikake (traditional Japanese wedding kimono for a bride) and a bridegroom wearing haori hakama (traditional Japanese formal kimono for men) were about to ride in a jinrikisha (a rickshaw).  After praying at Main Hall, some visitors went to Shirahata Shrine, some strolled along Komachi Dori, and others went to get beer in their free time.
