Golden Week Photos: Kamakura

I went to Kamakura during Golden week.  The crowds were huge and the trains were packed, but the company was great. 

Kamakura is an old area that is famous for the Big Buddha statue, shrines and temples on the  grounds of the old Hojo  stronghold, during the Kamakura era.

The big Buddha statue located in Kamakura.  It is worth seeing, the statue is empty inside as you would expect.
