Kamakura Daibutsu Hiking

MIA went hiking on May 28, 2016.
Here is a comment from Chair, Executive Committee (MIA member) who organized this hiking program.

“Kamakura Daibutsu Hiking”

The day before the hiking day was a rainy day.
Fortunately, it was a nice and sunny day on the 28^th of May.
We had a total of 39 participants including foreigners from USA, Italy, Philippines, Taiwan, and Singapore.

The starting point of the hiking course was Jochiji-Temple. We had a brief explanation of Shinto-ism at Kuzuhara Shrine. Following that, we had lunch and an intercultural exchange talk time at Genjiyama Park.

During the tour, we visited Zeniaraibenten Shrine which is located in a cave. We washed our own money for good luck and prosperity.

Subsequently, we resumed our hiking course through the Sasuke Shrine. There were some narrow passages that became very slippery due to the rain from the previous day.

It took approximately one hour to arrive at the Kamakura Daibutsu from the lunch place.

After the tour of Daibutsu, some hikers proceeded to see the Hase Temple.

Although there were not many foreigners on that day, nevertheless everyone had a great time chatting with each other.

We welcome everyone to join our next hiking program.
