Guiding a Brazilian Couple around Kamakura

[Date & Time] Tuesday, November 6, at 13:00~17:00
[Spots] Hasedera Temple and Kotokuin Temple (Great Buddha)
[Visitors] A Brazilian couple (in the late 20’s and the early 30’s)
[Languages] Portuguese, Spanish, and English


We met at the east entrance of Kamakura Station a little after 13:00.  The precincts of Hasedera Temple were less crowded and had a quiet atmosphere, because it was a weekday and a rainy day.  The wife seemed to be especially enjoying that atmosphere.  We took a bus to Kamakura Station because of the rain.  The rain got stronger and stronger on the way to Kamakura Station, which made us give up visiting some other scheduled spots.  We said good-by at Ofuna Station after strolling around Komachi Dori.
