We left Shonan International Village and explained about KSGG after our self-introductions.
As the bus came closer to Kamakura, we explained briefly about Kamakura. In Kotokuin Temple, the visitors and we were divided into two groups and started our guiding. We walked from Kotokuin Temple to Hasedera Temple. In Hasedera Temple, we saw 1,000 Jizo statues, Amida-do hall, and Hase Kannon. In Daikoku-do hall, the visitors touched the statue of Daikoku named “Sawari Daikoku” and everyone was excited, saying such jokes as they would surely be rich because they touched the Daikoku, the deity of wealth and others. After we enjoyed the landscape from Observation Platform for a while, we went to Benten-kutsu Cave as our last spot to see. We said goodbye to the visitors near Kamakura Station where they got on the bus.
