Kamakura is a coastal town which was at one point the Centre for the biggest empire in Japan. The Emperor at the time felt he needed the will of the Gods on his side and hence ordered that many temples be built and a Giant Iron Buddah.
It was very busy with lots of tourists but I managed to see most things.

A traditional Buddhist wedding, although I understand these are becoming less popular in favour of western-style weddings.
I had assumed the Buddah had been made in sections but it turns out it was a single cast on-site. Quite impressive!
