We got together at Kamakura Station. First I explained today’s schedule and confirmed their requests while drinking tea in a café. Then we visited Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and along Komachi Dori Street on the way back to the station enjoyed shopping and tasting some food.  After having a good time eating lunch leisurely, we went to Kotokuin Temple and then Enoshima Island. One of their purposes there was to eat Enoshims Tako Senbei (Japanese cracker) which a member of KAT-Tun, a Japanese J-Pop band, Kamenashi had eaten before. On the island we visited Hetsunomiya, Hoanden, Enoshima Samuel Cocking Park and Enoshima Observation Lighthouse, where we enjoyed the sunset that we rarely could see.  After that we waited in a long line for Tako Senbei being baked, hearing tako (octopus) pressed and screaming on an iron plate.  After eating it, we went back to Yokohama via Fujisawa.  They were very energetic women, loved shopping, and got along well with each other.  I thought it was a very impressive tour.
