Kamakura, and the Giant Buddha

What you're looking at is the giant Buddha nested in Kamakura. Kamakura is a small town located about an hour outside of Tokyo. Hidden away in Kamakura is this statue of Buddha which stands 3 or 4 stories tall in the middle of a courtyard. Our journey there way pretty relaxing, it was just a train ride away and about a 5 minute walk from the station. Kamakura is nothing like Tokyo or Kyoto. It resembles more of a rural area than anything. However, it still remains beautiful regardless of all the tourists that shuffle their way in and out just to catch a glimpse of this statue.
