I was just lazing around somehow, but a thought about last night had crossed my mind (which eventually lead me to a bundle of tears).
I'm back from my Japan trip this morning. I have lots of fun and as well lots of regret. There's so much that I planned on doing, but so much went out of hand. (Sigh). But, anyhow, I managed to set my foot on the land of rising sun which is absolutely awesome and I'm so grateful of it. This trip makes me realized lots of things, such as travelling alone could be a lot of fun and exciting, but of course you can't just escape from the people judging eyes, just because you're different. I don't care much about such things (well might be 70% of the truth), but once you're alone, you're all but by yourself. There's so much to think ahead rather than feeling too much consciuous of the peoples around you. Honestly Japan is so much fun, the people was rather helpful and they had help me alot through the trip. I rely mostly on my broken japanese to get through unknown places and stuff.
It's like a dream coming through to witness this train tracks. It goes all over the town and it was so fascinating once you're crossing the yellow lines. Well, my first trip was to Enoshima Island based from the influence of Tsuritaima (the awesome Enoshima dance). Getting through the Island wasn't that hard since it's a loop of circle. You just have go all the way through the Island through a lots of staircase.
I stay in Kamakura since there's no cheaper inn in Enoshima itself. But it was just a 15minutes rides or so by Enoden from the Kamakura station. I wish I had lots of times to explore Kamakura since it's so rejuvenating there. I just adore small town since it have a lots of old structured house (ryoukan), where we can actually trace through the culture of the japanese peoples there.
The Enoshima shrine that I went on the 19th of March.
The view from the shrine
Neko chan.
Well I wasn't planning to make this as a full report to my travelogue. It was just a brief moment from last night where I had a situation where I couldn't relocate my bags. I couldn't relocate the precise location of my bag which making me having a franctic panic attack (not to that extent) since I have to catch my flight at that time. The station operator wasn't much of a help (some japanese isn't that nice), but luckily for me there's a seller girl assists me to find my locker. She was a great help while I was on the verge of tears. I can't thank her enough (she was gone by then). It was really the help that I'm asking for, and she did it for me which I find myself feeling all grateful and emotional too. I would probably gonna continue with the post after wiping all this tears. (Oh man)
Well continue from my last post, Enoshima was extremely fun (part of it because of Tsuritaima). Well it wasn't the best anime per se, but the Island what had hook me honestly. Oh man I can't wait to visit it again (with God's will).
Yes, this is truritaima.
The alley in between before I reached to the top of Enoshima shrine.
The stamp that I had came across upon walking through the street of the Island. P/s: I got the umbrella from a really nice shop keeper (it was a mise store). It was raining cats and dogs in Kamakura, I was soaking to the bones at that time. Since most of the stores didn't have an eaves (a suspended roof structure that you usually see in houses/ store), so I was lucky enouh to take shelter at her restaurant. I think she already noticed me at that particular time, hence she went out of the store just to give me an umbrella, which happen to be her customer's. She explained to me that the umbrella was left behind, and I can used it without having to return it to her. She was so nice tbh.
The entrance towards Enoshima Island (my pic is not in sequence boo)i
I remember the Enoshima dance that Natsuki did here but I can't trace the picture somehow.
Yes, the guardian of the Island, the myth dragon.(Well maybe wrong picture,meh)
Oh yeah I'm such a fool. It's supposed to be the exact same pic anyway but much further. You can see enoshima shrine at the top of the hills.
Yeah think this is the same picture overlooking the observation tower. Don't ask me about the tower (I didn't find my way there :<)
Yep the same exact spot, but I can really remember idf this while walking up the hills or what. Dang.
I think this is the same temple.
The same exact place before entering the Enoshima Shrine
Before the ritual dance happen (I'm talking about the anime, but this is basically a part of Enoshima Shrine)
The samuel cooking garden (It's a herb garden btw)
This is what inside the garden imo (oh my I can't remember exactly if I even went to the garden o.o)
I think the fishing spot might be somewhere here.
